Meet Tilly
Jack Russell Terrier, 11 years old
My favourite thing about Tilly is...
She grabs my hand with her 2 front paws so that I will scratch her. Her side way glances make my heart melt. She loves doing zoomies around the house, garden and park. Anyone who meets her just want to cuddle with her.
The biggest challenge with Tilly is...
She is very possessive of me. If I try to cuddle or sit next to my partner, she is right in the middle trying to grab my hand.
The most surprising thing about owning a Jack Russell Terrier is...
One moment she is zooming around and the next she is upside down snoring her wee head off. I always take a blanket with me when we are out and about. When she has finished running around the park, she wraps herself in the blanket and goes to sleep.
What I wish I’d known about Jack Russell Terriers is...
I bought what I believed was a miniature Jack Russell. As she grew she clearly was not. Be very wary and do your research on what paperwork you should expect. Make sure you see both the mother and the father No matter how thorough you are there will be people selling dogs that are nit full breeds or what they say they are.
Did you know?
All Jack Russell types (KC recognised and not) vary in size, leg length, coat type, and build, but they are always a terrier – feisty, loud, opinionated and quick!
