Anyone here own a Jack Russell Terrier?

Thinking of getting one, and I know they require a lot of exercise.

I'm looking for responses from people who owned one, not someone's boyfriend's father's cousin's brother.

A very good friend of mine has one. What would you like to know?

They do need exercise...very hyper dogs!
 
Our Jack Russell was great. No different to any other type of dog, really. Loved burrowing though, under covers, bedclothes, baggy jumpers etc

And white hairs moulting/shedding is not fun :D
 
I love Jack Russells! They are very spirited little dogs that love to play! They make great show dogs too!

If you get one post puppy pictures!
 
Had one once...

He was the snobbiest animal I ever met.

He loved me but he made me earn it!

:cool:

How badly do they shed? We had a Golden Retriever that shed year round, and it was a real hassle.
 
They shed worse than some dogs, not as bad as others!

Does that help?? :D

Not all year round. But its just so much more noticable with white hairs. If you're gonna snuggle with it, make sure you're not wearing something you want to go out in :D

Lovely dogs, though
 
They're mental little bastards, Miles, compared to a Lab.

These are smaller than Labs, livlier, but not as nuts as a JRT....follow the pic URL to more info.

WTF are you talking about?

1. Jack Russel Terriers are mental little bastards compared to Labs.

2. The dog I posted, a duck tolling retreiver, is smaller and a little higher energy than a Lab, bigger and less crazy than a J.R.T.

3. The pic link, deconstructed, will take you to a site to learn more about duck tollers.

Talk To Yer Vet About Diet!

If Ya Wanna Muscle Him All Up, He Can Be Put On A Special Diet:D

Wild, Very Mouthy, And Wicked Smart, All Equaling An Ultra Stubborn Beast!

If You Have A Lot Of Time At Home, Then You Yerself Could Train Him/Her, But If Ya'll Are Working And Such, Then I Would Suggest Lessons. Unless Yer Gonna Show Him, Then You Don't Need A Show Quality Beast, So Look And Ask For Pet Quality, Or Maybe Even Go About Finding A Mix! ALOT Cheaper.....

Above ALL Else Love Him, AND SHOW US THE PICTURES!!!:D

Edited Ta Say,

I Own A Weird Little Beast Called A Shkipperkee{sp?!} And She Is A Wonderful Little Doggie!

See Other Post Fer A Pic!

Duck Tollers?

They charge ducks to use roads?

huh?
 
Well, we have a JRT mix. She's stubborn, smart, energetic. A lot of fun too.
But she was also a rescue dog, so she's a bit mor mental than most :D
