Jack Russell Meet Up Group

AAAAhhhhh, the end of a wonderful Saturday.........

What did we do today, Michael?????

(Be Sure to Click on the photos!!!)


Recently (March 10) Michaelangelo went to the local Jack Russell Meet Up and had a great time meeting the other dogs!! He was the only shorty there. He was worn out at the end of the day last Saturday. As was his big dog (seen above)......

Ever the hunter, here, at the park, Michael is ready for action...I'm just along for the ride!!!

(That's Michael, over by the fence, on the right)

The Jacks we hung out with were all the "Parsons" Jack Russells, like the dog you would see on Frasier....The Parsons Jack Russells are taller, with longer legs and a shorter body than my Michaelangelo's "Shorty" Jack Russells. Michael's breed are considered the "English" or European stock. They are sometimes called "Puddin" Jacks....
The illustration at the top shows you the incredible athletic build the Jack Russells have and to illustrate their origins as pack hunters.....

In any case, I noticed a considerable difference between Michaelangelo's behavior and temperment than the Parsons' Jacks.....Hhhhhhmmm. Very different indeed!!! Michael is MUCH more mellow than the Parsons we've met. Much, much more chilled....

Jack Russells are incredible on the agility courses!!! I am hoping that Michael and I can try some agility training this summer! He has to go through his Intermediate Training with Debbie (see his recent graducation from "Beginner" class below!!) and then we can continue on to try to do some training and possibly RACING!!! WHOOOHOOOOOO! GO BOY!!

Here's a nice Parsons Jack named Bella, super sweet, funny dog. We like Bella. Love her half-mask!!!

Michael is not in this bunch of playing dogs....He's off on his own smelling around!!!
Michael's not a "run with the pack" dog, he's his own dog. Like his mamma.....

More Doggie Fun on our next installment of the adventures of
Michaelangelo, Adventuredog!!!!
