Hi. This is my first post. I owned a Jack Russell for 15 years and he died in May. I decided I wanted a smaller dog hopefully one that would love to lounge on my lap. The breeder I have talked to told me about a situation where a couple have lost their jobs and are having to move. They can't take their 5 year old Cody with them. I am going to go and look at him tonight. My question is this. How hard will it be to break any habits he might have and get him accoustomed to us? My husband & I work so I thought this might be a good thing if he is housebroken. Your thoughts please.
