We've got four indoor cats, a "volunteer" in the barn that someone though we needed, and a chicken coop that fluxuates between 10 to 30 chickens or so. He gently herds our free-range chickens and we have a year old Buff that has impressed on him and follows him like a shadow. I never set Jake to hunting 'cause Kerry's are "animal aggressive" by nature and I didn't want him bringing me neighboor cats and kids. He is a good walking partner (I take a shotgun for walks to scare grouse and rabbits), but comes and stands behind me if I do shoot. Once in a great while he'll tree a squirrel. We've got coyotes up the giggy (my neighbor shot 32 last year) but so far (knock wood) have not lost a bird to predation. They're inside nights.

Now shooting at stumps with a recurve and cedar arrows? That's high entertainment. He loves those trips.

And Jakes loves to go to the airfield. Never says "boo". Loves everyone that comes along. He's a great flying buddy as he never critiques my rough times. Well, hardly ever.

He also sits quietly in my 14' kayak when we go calm river and lake paddling and has been a sailor since about 16 weeks of age. Pretty laid back for a terrier.

I'm guessing tomorrow Ron's kit is gonna be at his doorstep and we're gonna hafta get back on topic.
