No dog in South East London, incompatible with lifestyle and garden security. I'm a Jack Russell Terrier person. They are now, somewhat confusingly, three different breeds. The Parson Russell is the long legged variety and the Jack Russell has shorter legs. These are both Kennel Club breeds which is rather worrying. The third breed is the Russell Terrier and my long departed Todhunter of Halscombe (Toddy, Tod, T,That Dog, where's that bl0ddy dog - he answered to all bar the last) met that description. He was a Somerset farm dog, built like a tank and would dig under, smash though or jump or climb over any fence. Jack Russells can climb, Toddy could shin up a tree trunk at a 20° angle, the problem being no reverse gear!. Retrieving him from 10 foot up a tree could have been an interesting exercise, except that on command he would jump into my arms. He loved children and cats, hated foxes and squirrels, and beat up German Shepherds just for the fun of it.
