She will do her tricks for treats but still looks dead grumpy about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji38]The behaviourist could be right though, we always tend to look for human expressions of happiness in our dogs, however, like people some dogs are just a bit moody which i kind of like as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems a happy enough dog and loves a play and a run around. Wish she'd look a bit more cheerful every now and then mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In it was a pretty sporty looking horse. Took exception to the dog invading his field and chased Renton about at top speed. Quite impressive seeing them both at about 30mph. My daughter was mortified and expected the dog to be shot but he made it out unscathed and gave the horse some verbals when safely back on his lead.

He's an embarassment at times. He glazes over when he gets the urge to chase a squirrel or rabbit. Tell him to come back and he just looks at me as if to say "sorry mate, this is more important right now" and because he's so fast there's no danger of ever catching him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Told him off for biting. He thinks if you walk away and he doesn't make eye contact everything will be fine. (please ignore the rug the little b*****d has chewed the corners of, it's getting binned. Honest.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parson russell terriers are surprisingly fast plus he's prone to diving into rabbit/foxholes. Wee b*****d. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
