Jack Bowser, Border Terrier, born 2-11-09
Brandon did a lot of research on which breed of dog would be best for us and the Border Terrier was a perfect fit! Of course, I'm used to only Yorkie dogs (R.I.P Manhattan) but I am already loving little Jack even though he isn't a soft as a yorkie. I think he will be a great companion for us!
Jack Bowser was named after our favorite TV show 24's lead character Jack Bauer. Jack Bauer is a CTU agent who helps defend the USA against terrorists...and pretty much he is just a "badass"! The border terrier is a real scruffy looking breed and looks tough so we thought it would be a great name for him.
Here's what a full grown Border looks like:
We got Jack from a Border breeder here in Indianapolis, and so far they have been wonderful to work with. The husband and wife are Vetrinarians who have been breeding Borders for over 20 years and they sent us home with lots of good stuff for our new puppy! We're happy to know that they will be available to us for the life of the dog and will provide Jack's primary care, shots, microchipping, neutering, etc.
Jack's parents are Champion Border Terriers. Mom is Cammie and Dad is Fiddler. Cammie lives here in Indy and Fiddler is from England!
Here are a few more pics of Jack.
Wish us luck as we learn to potty train this little guy! I could blog for hours about my stress levels in regards to stains on my newly shampoo'd carpet...but I won't. I'm overly anxious about it, while my super-chill hubby isn't too worried. But that's how we operate, so hopefully between the two of us there will be balance and we will be able to train our new puppy well!
