To be honest if you're worried about snakes with your kiddies, Jack Russels are by far the best thing you could ever have. They are fierce with snakes!
Thanks hun.. not really a fan of 'little' dogs and we def wont add to the bunch, the previous owners said we would be lucky to see 2 a year and never in the yard so we HOPE that having the 2 dogs in the yard at all times and then the dogs and the cat out with the girls if they are in the paddock that IF there is one the animals alert us first.... our dogs go NUTS at anything that moves... we don't necessarily want the dogs attacking it, just letting us know it's there.. not much gets near our girls while the dogs are around.
