ABOUT GEORGIE: Don't be fooled by this sad expression - this pouty puppy is one spunky little lady! The runt of her litter, Georgie compensates for her size with a great big growl!  She has one brown eye and the other is bright blue! Her little body is mostly black with tan legs, and little spots on her nose that look like freckles.

While small and adorable, Georgie is independent and wouldn't enjoy being toted around like other small toy breeds. She can certainly hold her own with her bigger littermates and is not afraid to scrunch up her nose and show off her puppy teeth, especially during playtime. If she will be in a home with other pets, they will need to be gentle with her.  She loves to snuggle and share your pillow, and prefers to sit up on the couch with you (after you give her a big boost up, of course!). She likes to get your attention by squeaking rather than barking, and will peck your face to show affection.

HISTORY: This litter came to us along with their Mommy, Peaches. Their owner had two sisters who both got pregnant at the same time by the same neighbor dog and asked us for help. Luckily all 15 pups are healthy and happy. They look so different so we're unsure of the exact breed, but they will be on the medium size with short hair.  Their mom looks like a big Jack Russell mix so that would be our best guess.

ABOUT THE BREED: 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.
