What's in the Hole?
Know the breed before you take the pup!
Think about a Golden Retriever or a Cocker Spaniel who encounters a deep, dark, claustrophobic hole. At the bottom is a seething, raging, red-eyed, salivating, snarling creature. Most dogs might say to themselves,"Oooooh, I bet this 'person' doesn't want me here." And after a cautious investigation, the dog will leave. But most terriers, even at a very young age -- every one, to a "man" -- say:
"BONSAI !!!!! I'M COMING IN!!!!!!"
Their little eyes are shining with anticipation and their tails are wagging with joy, because the possibility of a truly awesome rumble -- all-out-to-the-death, hand-to-hand combat in close claustrophobic quarters -- is in the offing.
It's not so much that what they do that's frightening, but that they are truly happiest and most alive when they are doing this. This analogy alone should prevent anyone from wanting a go-to-ground terrier. However, there are some of us who like this living-on-the-edge feeling. And so, like idiots, we choose small, fierce, yet cheerful, monsters dressed in dog suits for our pets.
Are you sure the Jack Russell is the breed for you?!
