DIS Dog Lovers - meet Tegan!

[juligrl]

Tegan is a lovely 6 month old Irish Terrier that belongs to my sister. She met my dog, Pebbles, a mature 12 year old Jack Russell Terrier, for the first time today. Judging by their first interaction, I'd say Tegan is a very balanced pup!

The indoor, off leash greeting:

The approach

"Who are you?"

"Let me have a look..."

The sniff

"Wait, I'm not done!"

"Okay, you'll be fine here."

"Just don't stay too long..."

How cute was that? Loved your descriptions of the meet and greet doggy ritual.

Tegan is lovely, but I'm afraid I focused on the Jack Russell. I so miss my rescue JRT. She lived to 19.

19! Wow! How long did you have her? I volunteer for a JRT rescue - I love hearing good rescue stories.

19! Wow! How long did you have her? I volunteer for a JRT rescue - I love hearing good rescue stories.

Hope no-one minds me going OT re. JRTs. We got her in 1985 when she was just a puppy (6 months?) It was before JRTs got famous via "Eddie" on Frasier. I don't think there were any *official* JRT rescues back then so she ended up at the Humane Society.

Apparently it was one of those "Wouldn't that cute puppy be a great gift for Grandma" situations. Grandma wanted a lap dog, and never housetrained her. Among other issues, the cute puppy apparently tunneled her way right through a wall when she was shut in the laundry room to stop her messing up the rugs. The poor energetic little thing.

I knew the breed and adopted her immediately. She was reliably house broken in less than a week, she was incredibly smart and easily trained, and a tired JRT is a good JRT! Her energy level did decrease after she was 10.

Now that was ages ago, and much though I love JRTs I don't think I have the energy to take a puppy today. I would definitely consider a senior, sometime, but only after my present senior pups leave us. Great dogs.

I love Tegan! She looks so much like an Airedale, that I was surprised at how she looked next to the JR. Is this going to be smaller than an Airedale (I realize she is only 6 months old) or do you have a pretty large JR?

...my DS's GF has a Great Dane named Tegan...or is it Teagan??

Oh, your puppy is beautiful! We have a Scottish terrier, they have very similar faces (except for the color and the ears). Enjoy her, she looks like a real sweetheart!

Irish Terrier's do look a lot like Airedale's, smaller though. Tegan is as tall as she's going to get right now, she'll likely just fill out a little more. My Jack is normal size - not small, not tall, just normal. My sister had an Irish before - they're a great, sturdy terrier!

We had a Scottie! She was the one that paved the way for all the other terriers in my family - she was a great dog.
