Banshee ....

Banshee is the greatest! I have owned Heinz 57's, dobermans, german shepherds, and the great JRT's. I will someday own a German Shepherd again, but I would not give up Banshee for anything. He is the cutest, most spoiled rotten dog I know. He's been to obedience training and the trainer told the class I would have the hardest time with my JRT. However, my JRT was probably the best in the class.

He loves to go for walks and run, but most of all he likes when you pretend you're chasing him around the house. He runs around grunting and growling. He's friendly to everyone, but most aggressive to other dogs. The obedience training did help a bit, and he does listen well, but I have had a couple of embarrassing moments involving bigger breeds.

I was at a motocross one time and this guy who thought I had a cute little puppy brought over his yellow lab. Well, needless to say, Banshee decided to grab hold of the lab by the throat. We had the announcer of the motocross talking about my "cute, little puppy." They are definitely the best! He will be 5 years old on Feb. 8. Anyone wanting a great companion should look into JRT's.                                      -- Staci M. Howe
