Pistol’s Photo Album

Personality:

Our “Pistol” seems to be the darling of all women who visit the farm. They want to cuddle him and he plays it up! He knows how to get the most pathetic “poor little me” expression on his face when he wants attention. He is a little lover-boy—all charm. He likes to be held like a human baby—lying on his back, cradled in my arms. Even though he is the male canine in our family, he is at the bottom of the pecking order. There is no alpha dog in his personality! He makes the funniest little “oinky” sounds when he is being cuddled, and he knows how to smile.

Conformation:

Pistol gives the impression of being bigger than he is in the photos. The relationship of his length-of-back to his leg-length closely fits the “standard” for Russell Terriers, ie, slightly longer than tall. He has great tail set and carriage (he almost always carries his tail straight up or even slightly tilted over top of his back.  He has wonderful charismatic ears with good shape and set. He can get more expressions on his face than you would ever think was possible for a dog. His legs are straight and he has the perfect, purposeful Jack Russell stride when he trots.

Coat:

Pistol’s coat is very, very short, fine, and shiny. He is a tricolored smooth coat, with colored eyebrows that give him that ability to make so many humorous facial expressions.
