Dog Breed Jack Russell Terrier Reviews

This is our second Jack Russell. The first we bought for $50 in 1990 down the road. In late 90s, we got our second Jack Russell from a Jack Russell Rescue for a $150 donation. Good investment for a loyal, gentle dog. Now we don't have children so I can't say how Jacks are around children except hyper because for us it's a special occassion. Both of our Jacks have been high jumpers so if anything is left on the counter or table that is food and you walk out the door - it's fair game.

J.R. are really smart and need to be taught and handled with care, creativity and energy. These are not designer...

We got this little guy last summer from a family that was moving.  Wire-haired Jack Russell about 2 years old.  He is the sweetest, most agreeable dog I have ever known.  Perfect high-energy for my son, but loves to cuddle with my daughter.  The only problem we have with him is if we don't walk him enough he bolts out the door to get some fresh air. 

He is really smart, and definitely has his preferences.  He likes soft treats, soft floors, and snuggly blankets.  My only regret is that we don't have a fenced yard for him to run free.  I think he would love that.

November of 2006 I purchased a Jack Russell for my husband for Christmas. We picked her up on December 9th, at 7 weeks, and have been in love since. She was completely house broken in two weeks. She does like to chew on the kids toys, but as soon as she hears her name she drops them. She is very energetic and loves to play with her ball. She also loves the water. This is our first JR, so I can't comment as to whether this is the personality of all of them or just her. I will not hesitate to buy another one if/when the time comes. In our search for a JR we found that rescues would not adopt to...

Two of our three dogs are Jack Russel Mix dogs.  I am just in love with the breed.  One dog is a JR/Beagle mix (JackAbee) and the other is what we think a JR/Corgi mix, not sure with her but we know she is Jack.  All our dogs are rescues.  One of the Jacks, Gracie, was in a shelter with her siblings and the picture on petfinder was of her and her sister cuddled in the corner of the kennel all sad.  She grabbed our hearts right away and even though she was about 10 hours away from us and took two rescue groups to get her to us, she is definitely where she is suppose to be.  I had Gracie...

We have 2 Jack's in our house and they are very different, Sami Sue is very timid and loves to cuddle, but Scooter is hyper and very independent and wants attention when he wants it.  But they both love to sleep under the covers and always let me know when someone drives in the driveway, and even if there is a rabbit in the yard( very annoying).  They are both good guard dogs and very protective of the family.  They are great with kids and very gentle.

I adoped a Jack Russell Terrier about 5 years ago when she was 3 years old.  After reading the reviews about this breed, I was nervous about their temperment.  The rescuer told me to trust her, and it was the best decision I've ever made!  Our Jack Russell, Sandy, is the best dog I've ever had...and I've had alot of dogs throughout my lifetime. 

She's so affectionate and loving!  When I sit down, she's in my lap. If I move to another room, she lays at my feet.  She sleeps at my side...licks my face...cuddles and protects.  She's interactive and loyal.

She's smart and obedient!  When I get...

Don't believe the stereotypes, there is such a thing as a calm Jack Russell Terrier.  I own two of them and have bred them for 7 years, all of my Jacks are calm, well bred, wonderful family dogs.  If you take the time to research the breed and breeders, visit the home of the breeder before you buy and take the time to train your puppy, you will find that the Jack Russell can be the perfect pet.  They are smart, easy to train, have a LOT of personality and can be taught to be good around kids, cats, and even pet rats and mice.  They are high energy pets, they need time outside to be exercised...

My family was looking for a small family dog and decided to look at Jack Russell puppies.  We found one on craigslist for the right price - went and met him - and brought him home.  Within the first day, my son had taught him to sit and stay.  You can tell by the knowledge knot on his head that he is very smart.  Jack Russell's make good family pets and are very good listeners and learners.  Since we got him, we have also taught him how to fetch something and bring it back and drop it and how to "sit Pretty'  He is still only four months old and I have a feeling he is going to keep learning...
