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...

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.

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...
