Meet Bailey!

This is my newly adopted Rat Terrier/Chi mix. She's been awesome so far- only accident has been in the backseat of my car.

Her and Frag have been getting along great. She's iffy on the crate and whines quite a bit, but we're working on it. She's learned to sit and is starting to learn down now as well. She LOVES playing with toys & her and Frag have a great time with them. She has a bit of a resource guarding issue with toys & other dogs, but is fine with US taking stuff from her and learned drop it real quick as well. VERY toy motivated.

She's spayed and all up to date on everything, but she has Giardia right now we're treating her for. I'll run a fecal at work as soon as that's done with and she should be good to go. I sewed her up a cute collar before she came home & I'm working on a leash now.

Just wanted to share our new addition. Based on her motivation and energy, I think she'd be great at Agility and we'll likely get into a class.

Had to come back and look again because that second picture just cracks me up! She's too much.

DJEtzel · Feb 23, 2011

lol, thank you both. I LOVE those ears and her eyes when she gets all excited. She's definitely something.

She is so adorable

She does look like quite an energetic pup, especially with that athletic body build and attentiveness, good luck with that

DJEtzel · Feb 24, 2011

Thank you all very much. I'm very excited about her.

Wow - look at those eyes. She looks like a LOT of fun!
Hope you enjoy her for years to come
Congrats

Very cute dog! How old is she?
Is the blue collar she's wearing the one you made for her? Looks great!

DJEtzel · Feb 24, 2011

Thank you all!

Oops, forgot to add her age- she's 10 months this month, and yes, that blue collar I made and was going to sell, untill I realized I sewed one part of it backwards.

But it fit her, so I gave it to her and made a matching leash.

Dozi · Feb 24, 2011

She's adorable! May I ask why you say she is a mix? She looks like a purebred rat terrier to me, with an undocked tail.

DJEtzel · Feb 24, 2011

Mostly just because of the tail and the fact that she's from a shelter. Can't be positive she's a PB, so I just go with mix, but it is very likely that she's just an undocked Rat.

WOW, I'll have to post a pic of my dtr in laws dog. They look a lot a like and we've not figured out what the poocher has in her, for the most part.

Adorable. Does she hop 6ft straight up over and over again?

Haha, no, she doesn't. She is very agile though. If your dtr in law's dog does, it's likely he has JRT in him!

BubbaLove · Mar 3, 2011

almost looks like a basenji, only with out the curly-q tail

DJEtzel · Mar 3, 2011

Haha yes, she sort of does!
