Vinoviruz,

I am looking for an indoor "guard" dog, I am considering a Mini Schnauzer or a JRT. can a JRT be socialised to another dog? what if they are both males? I have a male dog (bout 5 year old) adopted from SPCA, living in the house too. assumin that u will get the new jrt as a pup...the jrt will grow up with the existing doggie...therefore, do not worry abt it gettin along with the older doggie in the hse. its when ur bringin in other adult doggies in when ur jrt is an adult that will give u a headache

Are they good with children? jrts are individually different when it comes to children...pls be very careful when introducin children to jrts. most jrts can adapt well to children. but jrts are a little rough when it comes to playin though...but yet again...jrts cant tolerate any ear/tail pullin from children...nvr leave any child with a jrt unattented

and finally, are they trainable? both jrt & a child can be trained to get along...teach children to appreciate & luv their doggies...& in return, ur jrts will luv & protect ur children. i would suggest u to get a book on jrt itself...most books will guide u on how to keep the hierrachy level in jrts & children. this is a very important aspect if ur plannin to co-inhibit jrts & ur children together thanks a lot Vin. appreciate it. im very sorry to give such a late reply as i seldom visit this forum ade...if thr any other help u need can email me directly vinoviruz@g.m.a.i.l.c.o.m cheers mate
