Proof is in the Puddin'       It is
obvious the diversity of this
breed.  The titles earned by
Swanback dogs come easily
and naturally.  They have been
bred for natural ability and
temperament.  That said, each
dog has it's special
accomplishments and
successes.  Not all dogs can be
all things and that is true of any
breed/dog.  Find what that dog
likes and take off with it!  We all
do what we like best, the best,
so keep that in mind.  

The heavy muscle in our
"shortie" breed certainly makes
it quite the athlete.  Despite
rumors, they excel at jumping
and turning.  The proper loin
gives them extra flexibility.  

This breed can go and go, so
an active home (mentally and
physically) is the best match.

Did you know?  The Jack
Russell
 was bred to go into the
den of a fox to flush it out for the
hounds to chase?  As a result,
digging, barking and being quite
bold comes naturally to the JRT!

Did you know?  "Puddin" is a derogatory
comment given to our "shortie" JRT's by
some terrier people.  I put a twist in it by
saying "Proof is in the Puddin"!
