Guest guest Posted November 10, 1999 Report Share Posted November 10, 1999 Geri, he is a terrier, so is definetly alpha. No, he cant do much damage. Has been known to grab the pantleg of the paper boy. Jack Russel's have to be in charge. But he is also a lovable little snuggler. At this moment, he is washing my leg.
