McAlpine Clan's Best Friend


You've been wondering; what kind of dog would THEY have? Well, now you know that our pup is a long-legged Jack Russell Terrier named Danny. This is a young breed and has a lot of variation. Danny's littermates were mostly the common, short-leg variety, but his ranginess harkens to the English branch of the breed - and the combination of long legs and manic Jack Russell energy makes him quite a runner. Danny's coat is a combination of wiry (on his back) and smooth (everywhere else). Lee Ann wanted to name him Kramer, after the Seinfeld character with similarly unruly hair, but he already had his name and it stuck.
Danny is now four years old, weighs 20 pounds, and enjoys long walks on the beach, sunsets, and fleeing in terror from our three cats, who like to beat him up. It's a good thing he is fast.
