Those sound like the kind of dog trump should have.

The only dog trump should have is a rabid pit mutt with a crazed craving for cheetos.

I had a girlfriend that had a Rat Terrier, which is similar to the Jack Russell. It was a fine dog if you like the tiny ones, smart and not overly frantic or yappy.

Yeah, it looks similar, but Russells have way different characteristics. One of the best dogs we had was a Schnauzer, also a terrier, but Russells really are different. As GoCubsGo link stated, you can't train the prey instinct out of them.

I never saw her Rat Terrier around a hamster . I don't remember squirrels driving her nuts, either. Otoh:

... In conjunction with the American rat terrier, it was reported that one of the sports of owning them was making competitive wagers about whose dog could kill the most mice or rats within a given time. One terrier was released into a barn, and in 7 hours it killed 2501 rats.

That's one every 10 seconds! Their stamina must be off the charts, too.

One of the Russell people I knew exercised theirs by tossing the ball down a flight of stairs. Dog never got tired of bringing it back up. When it's hot out, you have to be careful they don't get overheated - they don't have sense enough to stop for rest or water and will literally run themselves into heat exhaustion.

Also, the original terrier from which Russells (and others) were bred was named "Trump."

Hell, that barn must have been part of the Kushner empire....that's an impressive number of rats to be in any one place. Sounds like a case of rats buildup. Or even some sort of Middle East peace scheme that went bad. In any case, my hat's off to the king rat killer terrier. Maybe it should be renamed the "rat terror" instead.

It not uncommon for Russells to be called "Jack Russell Terrorist" - and that's by their owners.

Really good advice there (see what I did there?).

I'm sort of fond of Labs, although they can be a handful. Never thought of a retired greyhound. Could be an option.

A elderly couple down the street is into getting rescue dogs, usually on the small side. I'm thinking the go to the pound and pick the friendly one could work well for me. We'll just have to see.

[neoplacebo]

Get a retarded greyhound. That'll keep you busy, And the cats will love it.

Yeah, he was a special guy. He took a good picture, but he was a really goofus.
