Isn't because all your Renoirs , Monets , Van Gochs , constables need separate environmentally controlled areas

I always thought I was being ripped of by SKY back home.

now I realise how fortunate I was.

Down again

Same time as yesterday

RRRRR

One thing

They've yet to go down when there's live EPL.

That would be the end of them

Also at home I don't have the delay problems another poster has but have seen it in bars

Yep and all the time to open up Colditz for kids.

Pretty much anything barbecued on A stick and whatever a BG put in my mouth.

Including food.

555

I also had a hard time finding any at the time and in 2011 I succeeded. 6,000 Baht for the female and 7,500 for the male.

I had them neutered because I didn't want to have the same problem of finding good homes for puppies.

They deal with all snakes from cobras and vipers to pythons and tree snakes and any rat or squirrel within reach is done away with.

They can be quite aggressive to other dogs and will even attack dogs 5 times their size if necessary but so far they have gained the respect of all the dogs around here.

Thanks for the photos I love all terriers. They still have that inbred instinct that a lot of breeds seem to have lost.

I really think they are an ideal English dog for Thailand.

In your opinion what if any are the negatives of them over here

thanks

We've had 2 Jacks for 6 years now. Brother and sister

I think the main things to consider are about exercise and their hunting instinct

Ours get 1 hour a day (mixed on leash and off) and if they even miss a day they get a bit hyperactive. Owners have to have somewhere and time to give them an hour a day I reckon. Also their prey drive (?) results in chasing cats, the snake, rat turtle, monitor lizard hunting but mostly it's their "involuntary" charging off after prey that can cause us distress.

Great dogs, really great dogs but exercise is a daily need.

Also in all honesty, I don't trust them or let them alone with kids. It's not that they're aggressive it's more that they're just not scared of anything. I can foresee a situation when a young child reaches out or tries to pick them up (because they do look small cute and harmless), and the dog naturally reacts with a nip. Now we've got a nasty situation where neither party is really at fault. Better to not let that situation take place.

Also the Thai that tries to rile them up (I think you know what I mean, stamping feet, pretending to kick etc) elicits the opposite response than what these dullards usually get. I just tell strangers that they bite. Hard enough top train the dogs let alone the people.

Great dogs. great entertainment but need great responsibility

Yep

Couldn't agree more.

Last UK dog was my dad's cross Pattendale

Absolute nightmare for my dad.

Pretty obedient for me

But sometimes

You'd see a glint in her eyes and that was that

Gone

I'd just shout bye see you at home

Sometimes that'd work

If not I'd just go home and wait

No point chasing her

Within half an hour or so there'd be a timid scratch on the door

I'd open it say hallo to her and close it . Let her in 10 minutes later

Head down tail between her legs straight to her bed

Loved that dog

Down again

Finally now given up

Options

For EPL live ????

Best is to return to England for the rest of the season.

Get all the cup league champions league one stop shop

Any other options??

An addition. As you can see in the photo I also have an ex-soi dog as a pet. She was born on site just before I moved in and she was pretty dim to say the least but over time the 2 Jacks have taught her to hunt and to kill and she is like a surrogate Jack Russell. When one of the little ones is busy in some field somewhere she will stay and watch out for them until they are ready to come home together. When I got the Jack Russells as puppies she was a little resentful at first but with a bit of care learnt to share food and to see them as friends and not enemies. What I have learnt though, is that you can have only one male with as many females as you like. Females don't fight, but 2 males will.

Stop tempting me

If I was here to supervise the get to knowing each other phase

Not with a Thai in charge of that though.

No negatives at all. They don't overheat in the summer, they don't get too cold in the winter. Their hunting instinct keeps them fit and healthy (and me as well with a minimum of three 2-kilometre walks per day).

There are no snakes in or around the house, the rats that ate 25,000 Baht's worth of electrics from my car's engine 3 years ago, no longer bother to visit.

I love their intelligence, energy and their size. There is still space for me in bed and I can carry 2 times 8 kilo in my arms if necessary.

Thanks you just confirmed my thoughts .

I would have had at least one or possibly two

I kinda took over a 4/5 month old bar dog as it was sent to the temple.

Not a puppy , not cute anymore bye bye

I was quite fond of her. A few Bob changed hands.

get her back from

Temple.

I've managed to get a bit of the soi out of her but still quite feral.

Great ratter and snake scarer

Mice nope

Back to the UK for 2-3 months

Wouldn't trust tgf to get them to like each other.

Wouldn't like a call saying the jacks dead

Still can't believe you're giving away.

You're a top man

i have been trying to have the bitch fixed for the last year fredge - but i work away and my wife seems to have a disliking for that , but this time i will be home when she is finished feeding the pups and it will be done - the poor thing has had enough pups that is for sure, and she is a great little girl poor thing the best little dog i have ever seen for keeping down the snake and rat population shes a demon at that.

Over a year ago I looked every where for a standard size Jack Russell

Every other breed going but no Jacks

giving them away is amazingly great as I would have paid a lot for a fully documented one

you're a good man

And I'm heartbroken. I can't have one

I'm kind of got an image in my head of a line of homeless people all out on the street with their begging bowls

Amputees

Single mothers with kid

Old people

Kids

Etc

And then someone "please help me trying to complete a doctorate"

Ummm

I hope other board members learn to love their dogs better and give them these healthy types of bones

I do understand what you're saying . When I first came here and saw chicken bones being given to dogs. I was shocked. You can't do that.

Now in all the years I've seen dogs eating chicken bones over here i've not seen one choke on them

So I dunno

Thanks naboo

I'll have a quick look but rushing around a bit at the mo to get back to the UK for Xmas.

Chicken bones

wouldn't dream of giving a Uk dog them

Over here try stopping them from eating them.

Found out what it was

The cistern in the outside toilet was broken . Constantly filling and emptying into the bowl, draining away and so on . Don't know for how long as we have a fountain in the pond so you hear running water constantly

Still I did learn that the more water you use the higher the price per metre it is

Need to get a plumber now

I had the same problems so i cancelled after 6 months. They ignored me of course and still send bills every month.

You're lucky in 18 months never had a bill. We wait till we get cut off and then pay. They reconnect and we start again

Agree with OP on everything

Only EPL keeps me.

Wow

Naam your electric bill is twice the rent and all utilities on my 3 bed 3 bath in rayong.

I never thought I was so frugal

555

Agree

I think now the health people have told us that everything we enjoy is bad for us

Now they're picking on our pets

Oh and don't forget chocolates are on the no no list too.

LOL

thank you guys

I'm thinking that as we've just checked previous bins and it was 10 BT a metre now we're on the 19bt tariff . Over 10 m so we've turned of everything water related for few a hours and going to check meter

I've been banned from the shower

LOL

Just had the bin come with the electric bin

never happened before

amazing finally using some comon sense

anyway water was only 100 BT less than the electric 1975 BT

Our usual bin is 3-450 BT . Doubles if the family stays.

Seems a bit of an increase for 2 adults and a nine yo.

Particularly as not so hot so showering less and watering the garden once or twice a week rather than twice a day

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I stick with Leo as apart from some of the big chains , MK pizza hut etc it seems to be available most places

thanks for the links and the serious reply but my post was a tongue in cheek answer to why Bangok didn't burn

555

You may be correct. I came here in the 1960's and Bangkok still had a serious flooding problem.

Yep I'd think incendiary devices ain't a lot of good in the rain and landing in a 4 ft deep puddle.
