My Jack Russell Terrier, Cosmo, is practically Mensa material compared to Elvis.
But he's the aggressive one. I think he believes he's a Rottweiler, LOL.
My JRT Janey is like that too. They're the classic little dogs with big spirits.
Pugs are very intelligent too. He's a great fly catcher to boot!
Well the previous Baby Girl was as sweet as could be, but no great shakes in the brain departs... the current Psycho Dog is as stand offish as can be but loves a good deer bone now and again.
Can't live without dogs. :-)
I am down to 3 Jack Russels now. Two of them are absolutely brilliant, they amaze me every day. The third one knows where her food dish is and that is about ALL she knows. I put the mean one down a few months ago.
My new dog AJ isn't too dumb. He's learning his commands very well, except when he's not on the leash. This morning, My wife left the door open too wide too long & he bolted out into thew fresh snow as I was heading to work. A half hour later and 4 of us trying finally brought him into the house.
What bugs me is the dogs technicolor poops. He eats EVERYTHING! The plastic game pieces & legos, poker chips, sidewalk chalk, foil, Uno cards, tons of pillow stuffing. It's not like I don't feed him too. Unnngh! I've seen it all in his poops. Darn dog! I kinda like him though!
I couldn't imagine having a dog with a JRT pups energy!
