PEANUT Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hello I was curious if any one out there owned a borderjack.. we have a 5 month old female named daisy I did not know she was a borderjack when we p[urchased her, she is a great smart pup but very mouthy. Does this ever end???? she graduates her 1st level of training on thursday. The only issue I have is her constant nipping : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Scott Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Border Jacks were originally bred for flyball and some agility. Did you purchase her with BC papers and then find out she was a mix? If not, what did they sell her to you as? Barb S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Devils Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Yes, I have a borderjack. He is actually an awesome dog minus his whining. The nipping is a puppy thing not a borderjack thing. You deal with it like you would any dog. If you do a search for nipping on these boards you will find many posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Oh yes, 5 months old...that's just puppy behavior. The best thing you can do when she nips you, is remove yourself from her. She's nipping at you to play or for attention, so you say "no bite!", stand up (or whatever), pull your hands away (if that's what she's nipping) and turn your back to her. Ignore her until she settles, then give her something appropriate to chew on. My lab was a horrible nipper, but she did outgrow it. Go any pics of your cutie? Are you sure she's a border jack? Like Barb said, did you think she was all BC when you bought her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth G Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yes pics please. She sounds like a cutie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
