After the demise of my old dog Bandit before Christmas. Many of you will recognise him when in my shop with me and from my avatar. I have decided to get a replacement for him.
He is only 3 weeks old yet, so another couple of weeks before he can start to be trained (you start very young with Jack Russells otherwise they will forever want to be the alpha).
His full name is Red "Gunner" Moore, Gunner to his mates. My dogs are usually named after people who were outside the law, the death of gunner Moore was responsible for the demise of the famous pirate Captain Kidd, after Kidd hit him around the head with a steel banded bucket, from which he died the next day, and so was prosecuted for Gunners murder.
I had one of the very first chocolate brown JR's in the 1970's, Red Gunner is part of the offshoot from that strain from around Shropshire, and still has that choccy brown gene in him (notice brown nose). This is my first choccy JR, Rocky, picture taken in 1982.
Here is the little man himself, when fully grown, he will stand a massive 8" at the withers.
And with his mum, Millie, his father is the famous (within JR circles) choccy brown 'Dennis' from Much Wenlock.
Now a bit about engineering.
I have just purchased one of these units, and it does a fantastic job.

Even though it looks grossly expensive, you would only need to resharpen 400 cutters and it would have paid for itself. Besides that, the quoted resharpening time from start to finish of about 3 minutes is way out, I did it in half that time, but I did have a play with one a few weeks before, so knew exactly what to do when mine turned up.
