Picking a dog

[NorthernRaider]

Terrier like a JR or Parsons JR, Border terrier etc, superb hearing, very alert, easy to care for, few genetic defects, cheap to feed, long living, utterly loyal, kills rats better than cats, can be trained to bark when someone approachs or just to quitely let you know you have an intruder. Borders and Parsons are designed to run along side a horse or cycle all day and still be able to hunt. Also make excellent bed warmers, and terriers will attack ANYTHING regardless of size that threatens your family. Oh and after TSHTF most well sorted terriers can feed themselves from what they catch, though its good if possible to keep feeding them a balanced meal each day.
A while back our Were-terrier spotted our son in an argument with another lad out the front of the house, because he could not get out to protect him the dog ran upstairs and jumped out the bedroom window, Luckily he landed on the lawn with only a twisted leg. And he still got between to the two boys !!!

Mind you if you get one you may need to cut its nads off, ours would hump anyone and anything at every opportunity, Its not nice watching a terrier hump a neighbours cat half to death, and the look on the window cleaners face when his bucket got humped !!!

Oh yes feed them wisely and with a balanced diet, terriers if their vitamin and mineral content gets out of kilter will take to eating other dogs poo, Yuk cos the little gits always want to come and lick your face afterwards.
