Description:
Marshy, short for Marshmallow, is a beautiful white Jack Russell mix who has the face of a Dalmatian in a small body. She was found on the side of the road in Georgia and was brought to a kennel that could not keep her so they called out to Judy to help. She is a an extremely loving puppy, about 5-6 months old. She a bit shy of new people, but is very inquisitive and just melts at your feet when you sit down and call her. She will make a good watch dog as she barks at noises and loves her brother and the other foster puppies here. She is very sturdy, similar to a jack Russell, and appears that she will remain a small to medium dog with short white hair, a beautiful black circle around one of her eyes a few miscellaneous black spots. If you want an older puppy, ready to play and teach your new puppy her new tricks then Marshy is the girl for you.
5/25: Well i have now had Marshy for about 1 week and really thats all she needs to really warm up to anyone. Marshy is so cute and sweet. She wants to be with her people at all time, if i'm on the computer she is at my feet, if i'm sleeping in bed she sleeps right next to me (almost on my head), if i'm watching TV once again right next to be on the sofa! She really is a charmer. She still has a few kinks to work out..she doesn't really like door ways. She wants to go outside but is very hesitant to go outside on her own. I usually go pick her up and carry her outside so she can play in the back yard with me and my other dogs. She also is still VERY bad with the leash. I can see this is going to be a slow process..but simple just alot of good experence with the leash on and i think she will catch on. She isn't much of a chewer and even if let alone for many hours only gets into minor things like pulling my shoes out or moving bones around. It probably helps that i have several other dogs and cats for her to keep her mind busy with during the day. She doesn't like being crated and has found her way out of my crate twice. I contribute this to the fact that one of my last foster dogs destroyed my crate and it can be broken out of by my cat..it is very week! But i can see she is going to be an escape artist if she wants to! This is a great dog whom loves people, other dogs, and the bed! Can't ask for anything better!
Foster update 5/20: Well i have had Marshy for about 2 days. She is a very sweet loving dog whom i would describe as a velco dog. She loves her people but is extremely shy upon first meeting people. She gets confidence around other dogs but LOVES her people. I took her to the dog park today and she was so cute..just running around having a grand ol time! She isn't much of a player yet with other dogs but i assume this will come with time...once she feels comfortable and trusts i think she will open right up. She doesn't mind the cats and mostly leaves them alone. She loves to chew bones and eat! She does not understand the leash/collar thing and freezes on the leash, no amout of pulling or tugging will get her to move. She most definally needs someone to work with her on this. She had no problem following me around the dog park and walking along side me when i was doing my laps..she knows her name and comes when called! She will make a great pet for someone whom has some time and patience to love her and train her!
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Jack Russell Terrier was developed in 19th century England by a clergyman named Jack Russell. This feisty little terrier was used to hunt small game, particularly fox, by digging the quarry out of its den. Breeders have emphasized its working ability, so the standard is very broad, encompassing a wide range of accepted body types. On English hunts, the Jack Russell Terriers were supposed to be long-legged enough to keep up with the hounds. The energetic and playful Jack Russell makes a good family companion. The Jack Russell Terrier is a perky, merry, devoted, and loving dog. Spirited and obedient, yet absolutely fearless. Careful and amusing, he enjoys games and playing with toys. Friendly and generally kind to children who have been taught not to tease or strike the dog. They are intelligent, yet willful and determined. They have strong hunting instincts (stronger than your average terrier) and should not be trusted with other small animals. They like to chase and explore. Be careful not to let them off the lead unless they are very well-trained. Jack Russells like to bark and dig. They tend to get restless and destructive if not kept fruitfully occupied and well exercised. Jack Russells climb, which means they can climb over a fence, they also jump. A Jack that stands 12 inches high can easily jump five feet. JRTs are not the breed for a inexperienced dog owner. This is a BIG dog in a little dogs body. The owner needs to be as strong-willed as they are, or this little guy will take over.
