Charlie has a Pedigree!!

Charlie, currently vacationing with me at the Robin's Nest, has a pedigree!! Who knew? His family never mentioned it, I guess that wanted to keep it a secret, that they had such a highly valuable dog. But I have come to realize that Charlie is a rough-coat Jack Russell terrier with a lot of trace hair.
My friend Lillie first mentioned that he looked like a Jack Russell after watching him one morning while we were in the pool. As I swam from one end of the pool to the other, Charlie followed me around the side of the pool. She commented that he always knew were I was, even when I was underwater. So he was smart, and had a lot of Jack Russell coloring and markings.
I dismissed it, since I was sure Charlie was a mutt. Plus he has a lot of straggly hair, and I thought Jack Russells all had smooth hair.
But NO. That very same afternoon, a neighbor was walking by and asked if Charlie was a brush coat Jack Russell. She told me that brush coat means they have longer and rougher hair in places. Well that sent me to Google, the authority on everything. After doing some reading about rough coat Jack Russells, and trace hair, I have concluded that Charlie is a full pedigree rough coat Jack Russell terrier.

This is Charlie in my backyard, notice the straggly looking hair around his collar area.

Charlie again, note trace hair around his face.

Charlie again, under the bed covers, where he likes to go sometimes when it is stormy outside.
So, Charlie is really royalty in dog land, and I have treated him as such even before I knew it!
