Scamp, the Jack Russell


Hi, I am Scamp, I don't know why my owners called me that!



I have a noble nose,



And this is what I use it for!





















What a view!





Yes, maybe that's better,




I am a neat looking dog,







But I don't stay still for long!

See you next Sunday!

Jack Russell factoid

       John Russell also known as the “Sporting Parson” was a priest from Devon, England. 
          He loved a good foxhunt and was always on the lookout for the perfect terrier to serve as  his hunting companion. 
                   In 1819, he found just what he was looking for when he met his milkman’s dog, 
              a British White Terrier, named Trump. 
          This little white dog had a thick wiry coat  with tan spots on her eyes, ears, and nose,
 and she became the matriarch for the breed Russell  went on to create. 
       Although the records are murky as to what other dogs were involved in the  process,
         most believe it was a collection of white terriers (a type of dog that is now extinct).
