Moxie has a female head, and her jaw is much lighter than you might find on a dog 3-4 pounds heavier (ie. with 35 percent more weight).<br /><br />Misto is what some would call an "old school" Jack Russell and others might call a "shorty" or a Russell Terrier. He's a Jack Russell, same as Moxie, which is a dog defined by what he does, but he has shorter legs (and thicker!) and a much more massive head with teeth to match and shoulders to support the head. Though he is about 3/4 of an inch shorter than Moxie, he weighs 35% more -- a dog that will be able to get into a small space and really grip and pull when that is needed.PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-3385914885546825762015-03-30T16:06:43.040-04:002015-03-30T16:06:43.040-04:00Misto looks male and moxie looks female.

Is that because they're male and female, or just how they turned out?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02502528836501841285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-83649894495652458212015-03-29T14:58:42.783-04:002015-03-29T14:58:42.783-04:00Beautiful little dogs!

I know you might disagree but I think a largish head with a mouth full of sharp teeth is almost as important as a small chest- otherwise miniature poodles could do terrier work. Also that terrier doggedness in pursuit- I see that clearly when I'm out and about with my two JRTs- they are consumed by prey drive compared to other mutts... Again- congrats on the fine looking little terriers.Jeff T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01520811975339950553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-42678316244502433782015-03-29T13:49:35.524-04:002015-03-29T13:49:35.524-04:00They both are quite cute!They both are quite cute!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11539970150101034802noreply@blogger.com
