The Jack Russell Terrier is an intelligent, independent dog with a wicked sense of humour. They are extremely loyal and fearless companions, and make excellent watchdogs, (not guard dogs). Jack Russell Terriers can make fun-loving friends for children and will keep them entertained for hours with their clownish antics. They can be trained for a variety of different activities, such as agility, showing, or simply as a pet. The Jack Russell Terrier is content to remain either inside or out, so long as he is given sufficient amount of exercise, such as playing ball and going for walks. |

The Jack Russell was bred to hunt, it will seek out it's own fun if left to its own devices, whether its chasing rabbits on the next door neighbours property or just generally causing mischief. The Jack Russell Terrier is a known jumper, and climber; so good fencing is a must, to ensure he doesn't wander. Jack Russell Terriers can sometimes quarrel with other terriers, however two Jack Russells of the opposite sex will generally get along just fine. |
