He's a Jack Russell Terrier we bought yesterday. What's his name? We cant decide.

Would you try, please?

Awwwww absolutely adorable! How about Scruffy? Maybe Shuttertalk... hehehe

I love Jack Russell's, had one for 12 years..... I called mine many names, none I am willing to repeat here LOL.

They are one of the smartest dogs I have ever come across.

Aaaaaaaaah! Awwwwwww! How cute! He's gorgeous

I'd call him " Tipsy " - not 'cos he's drunk but because of that dinky little pink tip on the tip of his cute little nose.

I thought I would thank everyone for their suggestions, but inform you that my wife has now named him "Widget".
It seems to suit him quite well.

Ha! With a face like that, I'd call him INFREQUENTLY!

DOGY dog

Hey Widget is an awesome name! I approve!

Widget is a great name.

I recently tried to take photos of a friend's 3-year-old JRT, and every shot was blurred. I can't imagine that as a puppy.





I've always thought that I'd name my next dog "Taxi".

Almost impossible to get a good picture of a JRT, they are like bottled lightning. To add to the fun, my dog hated to have anything pointed at her, cameras included but especially aerosol cans (traumatised by a puppyhood fleaing!)

Here's a really old picture of my JRT, by this age she was arthritic, diabetic and almost blind.

Yes, these terrier puppies are very awkward customers.
Widget has a black face, (as you'll have seen). It makes corect exposure just a little difficult.
Add to that the greased-lightening mobility factor, and you have a real challenge!

I can see that you know your dogs. They're mavellous creatures though, dont you think?

What about a flash bounced to the ceiling?
Your picture looks beautiful and I like the treatment too.

Yes, bouncing flash helps.

Thank you very much for your most generous comments!!

Bingo (as a dog name)
