Jack Russell Obedience
Perhaps most people remember the Jack Russell Terrier (JRT) as a breed of canine that excels in fox hunting and considered a working dog.
To describe a working dog is to say that it does not get tired easily.
This is very true with this type of terrier.
It is known to bark and work its way into the quarry until the fox and sometimes a groundhog or badger goes out of its hole.
Jack Russell obedience is indeed legendary.
The famous painting entitled Dog looking at and listening to a Phonograph (later renamed His Master's Voice) has Nipper, the JRT that stood as a curious model for the painting.
The painting was done by Francis Barraud in 1884.
In 1982, a JRT named Bothy traveled with its owners, Ranulph and Ginny Fiennes, in what was known as Tranglobe Expedition and became the first dog to travel both the north and south poles.
What a punishing exploration this was on the trip to North Pole using powered sledges! All that time, Bothy remained calm and cooperative.
Bothy was a picture of Jack Russell obedience to its owners.
An outstanding act of valor is also exemplified by Jack Russell obedience and loyalty to its owners in New Zealand on April 29, 2007.
A JRT named George saved five children at a carnival from a vicious attack by two pit bulls.
George held the attackers at bay long enough for the children to get away.
George was killed by the pit bulls.
For its courage, a posthumous award, PDSA Gold Medal, was given in 2009 that was equivalent to the George Cross.
A Vietnam veteran and former US marine donated his Purple Heart award to the brave George's owners.
Chalky became one of the most recognizable canine stars in the UK.
The owner of the dog was Rick Stein whose cookery series had Chalky as his assistant restaurateur and chef.
The dog-star frequently upstaged its owner and it had a unique role like having its own line of merchandise including tea towels, art prints, art paw prints and two real ales (Chalky's Bite and Chalky's Bark) which won gold in the Quality Drinks Award 2009.
Chalky died in January 2007 and received a BBC obituary.
The cookery series featuring Chalky proved again Jack Russell obedience to the needs and demands of its owner.
Rick Stein misses his JRT and said that Chalky lived a full 18 years.
A few other Jack Russell terriers worked in movies.
It is a fact that these dogs made a good impression of how natural they can be on and off the cameras.
But, most of all, these dogs are very faithful and obedient to their masters.
