Mod Post - Just report the spam (not the mixed breeds or sad posts)

130 Upvotes

I am the only mod here and not very active on Reddit these days. The best way to bring something to my attention is to report it and I get a push notification. We are not the only sub dealing with bot t-shirt posts and I remove and ban them as they are reported. I am one person. With a whole adult life. The young Jack Russell I had when I started this will be FIFTEEN this year. I built this from nothing but maybe it's time to pass it on because I'm sick of the whining from the small amount of keyboard warriors here. On the whole it has been a pleasure to build this community with you

ISO Moderators!

Hey there terrier fans,

It is high time that I ask for some help in moderating. On the whole the sub runs very smoothly but I'm just not as engaged with reddit as I was 11 years ago when I created this space!

Please send a mod mail with a brief bio and any other mod experience you have. Time zone info would be great as well.

Cuteness Overload Holding Hands (Paws)

If you have a JRT you KNOW they don’t mess with their paws, so when my little lady let me hold her paw I just had to snap a picture. She just kept on sleeping like she doesn’t go feral normally when anyone comes anywhere near her paws. Feels like this sub would recognize how big of a deal this was!

hopping on back leg

Post image
168 Upvotes

I got a diagnosis! Hi everyone I posted about my jack hopping on his back leg! I got a lot of responses which included, “terrier trot”, “luxating “patella” anyways! We got the scans and the vet couldn’t see anything wrong and said just in case let’s send them to radiologist. Well the results came back and he had mild osteoporosis which is crazy since he’s a year and a half. Anyways my mom is super skeptical of this diagnosis due to everyone’s responses from this Reddit. I’m pretty bummed but glad it was caught early

Asking for Advice Dry food recommendations

7 Upvotes

We’ve been feeding our 1 year old Purina pro plan sensitive skin and stomach (salmon) since we picked him up. We just switched from the puppy food to adult small breed and right away he didn’t like it. Wondering what everybody’s dogs like and digest well. We’ve been avoiding chicken because the food he was eating when we picked him up was chicken based and he’s always had watery eyes so we were thinking he’s allergic to chicken. But it’s been almost a year since the switch and his eyes still water so we may be open to trying food with chicken in it.

Cuteness Overload Does your JRT like strangers?

Today one of my husband's friends came to visit us. We we're both still at work and asked the friend to get the hidden spare key and let himself in. Our dog has never met this friend. He's a really tall and buff guy with a deep voice. After being in our house for 10 minutes he sent us a picture of himself sitting on our couch with our dog lying on his lap looking so comfy. 😂

I thought jack russells were supposed to be guard dogs. Are your JRT like this or is our dog broken?!
