Great pic of a fearless little hunter.
They unfortunately don't often die of old age.

Here is our 6 week old JRT. We hope he is as fearless as our last one.
'Caught in the Headlights having a Slash' as one comedian put it on another forum ...

Re: HUNTING WITH TERRIERS

Just received some very bad news.
The little guy pictured above was killed by a bear on Sunday.
Bear was being chased, ran up on a skid trail and was shot by a young woman who hit the bear somewhere around the shoulder area {not sure the exact spot hit or caliber}. Bear wheeled around and bolted back down the steep slope it had just climbed. The dogs were all right there, hard on its heels, with little Harley among them. The bear was charging down the slope, and Harley charged straight into the bear. The fearless little guy was grabbed once in the middle and crushed by one bite by the bear, the bear then dropping the dog and continuing to run down the slope. The hunters were all very close and were able to kill the bear. Harley was dead on the spot.
This is going down hard on all involved. The girl is just sick about not stopping the bear as can be imagined.
Harley was 8 years old and had been in and among many, many bear. He simply could not be caught darting in and around their legs or even hanging on by his teeth to their backs! This time was different. No one actually saw the bear grab the dog due to the steep slope and the fact that the hunters were over the top of the trail when the bear grabbed Harley, but it was pretty easy to determine what happened after the fact.
He will be missed greatly by all who knew him.
I have recent pictures of him, taken in the last week of his life. I'll make up some nice photos and give to my friend, his owner. Very sad.

9.3 that is very sad news.
That has always been the problem with JRT's,they never know when to quit.
8 years of special memories for the owner and friends.
My dog Busta is in the bad books at the moment,he found the chooks in the vege garden and promptly removed them,amongst large mouthfuls of feathers.
The chooks know who the boss is in the garden....until next time.
Oh well what can you expect,,he's a Jack Russel Terrier!

Re: HUNTING WITH TERRIERS

Sad news indeed. Working terriers are just too game for their own good some times.
But as Alan says thats what makes them what they are and part of why we like and respect them.

Thanks fellows.
Yes, it happens.
Tough to accept. The little guy was a kick, but they are not ones to lay around and die in bed, that's for sure.

Indeed.
It's well said that they rarely make old bones.
When young and silly, they get run over.
When adult, they take on things to large - or in the case of snakes, too lethal - for them.
If they survive to age, deafness, and the slowing that come with arthritis, they get run over.
That said, my first JRT is dying of cancer. She's has two bouts of surgery, and I've concluded that further efforts wouyld be a waste of effort. She's slowed, but while she still enjoys her tucker and is capable of enjoying life, I'll wait.
