Adult Jack Russell Terriers, though quite docile and friendly to humans, are known for being aggressive and efficient hunters of small animals. They are quick, agile, and can quickly target.....though most of them, being pets, don't actually hunt for food.

I totally agree. We ARE a nation of wimps. Either that or we've pushed evolution to the point that we've phased out our natural immunity to EVERYTHING. It's called LIFE people, get used to it. Somewhere in your environment there may be a peanut, a little milk, a bit of gluten. Trust me, it's not fatal. If your constitution is so badly compromised that you can't tolerate a little smoke, pollen, or food additives in your system, Mother Nature is probably telling you that your bloodline is unwelcome here.

Some people just don't get the message. Note that even the creepy King is back . . .



Personally I love the idea of a dog in the waiting room. It would make the time go a lot faster with something furry demanding your attention. Incidentally, not all dogs shed or produce much in the way of dander. While no dog is totally free of allergy-producing products, some are quite clean and odor free. Years ago I used to take my step-mother's Cocker Spaniel to see her in the nursing home, and the staff were delighted to see her. That animal, while nominally a land shark, was the most loveable creature on earth; easily the most popular person on the floor when we visited, turning a thirty minute visit into a couple of hours. You'd be amazed what a cute wiggly pup or a big loveable dog can do for a bad disposition. Smart move for the dealership.

Yep. Right on. You and I, Bob, certainly did not grow up in that Namby-Pamby environment, and we both turned out just fine.

If the puppy works for them good, more power to them.
I for one will hate to have a puppy around me during a dealer visit as I would be afraid I may step on him, step on his poop, deal with his barking etc...

Pets are not welcome inside my house specially any dogs, cats & birds. I find that disgusting and unsanitary no matter how clean they may be. Animals belong outside!

Can you imagine trying to work on a deal and some damn puppy dog is barking away??

And if you ever wonder I do love pets....just not inside my house. When I visit family who do have pets I can smell it and cant stand it. I ask to go outside as an excuse not to be inside.

some people have religious sensitivities that will allow them to be near dogs. I dig the pooch though but dont think it would be a good idea to keep him on the long term.

Lets be real here for a minute. How many people in the world are as you describe? I have met people that way...but its a very small percentage of people.

A dealership is an independent business, and if they chose to operate their business in such a way that turns off a few people, thats their prerogative. Those people can go to another dealership. People have phobias of all sorts of things, should a car dealership make sure that a customer with *any* phobia would be comfortable there? What about *any* allergy? What if I have a serious allergy to rubber? Should they have no indoor showroom?

We have totally become a nation of wimps.

I think the dog at the dealer is awesome.
