Forgive me, but I suffer from insomnia, and I'm away from home and bored at the moment. I decided to do some research, something I am very good at, and I think I can put your mind at ease. I was being dead serious when I said your dog looked liked a Irish Black Jack Russell, and it is true that they are hard to come by and quite expensive. My husband and I were going to have one shipped from Ireland, $2500, plus shipping, until we decided on the Corgi breed. Guess what??? There are breeders of true Irish Jacks in Colorado, and I saw some photos of some black ones, the white/black and white/tan are the most popular, but my family always had the Irish Black, such beautiful faces, and eyebrows that express thoughts like a persons. I REALLY think that you have become very lucky. An Irish JRT, and yours would be an I(B)JRT, was bred to be shorter, and work just like a Corgi on the farm, not to be a hunter like the fox terrier or bull terrier, so the two breeds in your dog would be extremely close. If you read up on I(B)JRT's and Corgis, you may put the pieces of this puzzle together.
