Want to look at some Jack Russell Terrier photos? You can do that here.
The Jack Russell is a small breed that once hunted foxes. They don’t weigh any more than 18lb when healthy, but are surprisingly sturdy and robust despite their small size. They are white with black or brown markings and can have either a smooth or rough coat. Some dogs have a mix of both!
Because they’re so small and cute, many people forget these are working dogs. Jack Russell Terriers have very high energy and are ready to go at any given moment. If you’re looking for a dog you can get into agility or flyball, these dogs are ideal. However, if you want a dog to lounge around the couch with you all day and be content being lazy, you’ll likely find a Jack Russell isn’t happy about that!
A Smart Dog
These dogs are highly intelligent and will learn things quickly, but they can have a stubborn streak that can turn to aggression. You can combat this by ensuring they’re trained and socialized at an early age. Introduce them to a wide variety of people and make sure all of their experiences are positive.
While positive reinforcement should be used to train any dog, aversive training and abuse will especially not be tolerated by a Jack Russell Terrier. Take care when training and make sure you’re treating the Jack Russell in the best way possible.
