: Hi,

: I have a silly question about these JRTs. Mine continues to amaze me about the things he gets so excited about. If these JRTs had a choice between a juicy piece of steak dangling in front of them or chasing a squirrel, which do you think they'll take (and they can only have one or the other--not both). I kind of think my dog would go for the squirrel, but I really don't know and probably wouldn't test it out. Looking forward to your answer!

Hi Lorraine,

Hmmmm...steak or vermin? What a timely topic! We just had some big juicy porterhouse steaks tonight that we grilled.

After seeing the look on my two terrier's faces I do believe I could have dangled a live squirrel in one hand and a steak in the other and my guess is the steak would have been the winner.

That being said, I am positive they would have gulped down the steak in a nano-second and then went after the squirrel ;)

And yes the boys did get a tiny bit of steak tonight! The squirrels were safe for another evening lol!
