    I rescued my Jack russell when he was 6 years old. He was a lover and a lap dog. He had a fenced in back yard. And he loved laying out in the sun. He followed me every where. He came down with cushings disease when he was about 12. He had 4 pomeranian brothers and sisters. He barked alot but he let the others know I was his. He lived to 18 and had dementia so bad, ,but I played doggie music for his anxiety and he slept next to me until it was so bad I had to make the ultimate decision to let him go. I miss him so much!!😪😪😪😭😭😭

    Former goober owner, his name was Cooper.
    -You can't tell your terrier to respect someone, that person has to earn it. All I could ever do was teach guests to grow a spine, or he'd walk all over them. He could hear the sincerity in your voice when you said, 'no'. If you don't know how to say 'no' like you mean it, you'll be his tennis ball launcher for the next 18 hours.
    -Absolutely not a lap dog. Lap sitting was a shallow pretext to play. He'd lie on you with his eyes open, heart racing, and the second your hand touched him he was on his feet ready to play some game.
    -He was the best dog I had as a boy, and I had 4 before moving out. I think I got him when I was 8, and people always said Cooper and I were the same being, in different bodies. He kept me out of the house, he taught me about respect and determination, how hard work can be a love language, how to stick up for yourself no matter the difference in power, etc. That dog was a little champion. He wasn't disrespectful, he had high expectations of you, and did the dog version of scoffing at your bad attitude. We all need to be a bit more like terriers. They know a human's potential better than most humans.

    My miniature Jack is nearly nine I have had her since eight weeks old she has never been a digger, she is just not interested, she does like to roll and rub along the ground and actively seeks out bird crap in the grass to roll in, she chases Rabbits, Squirrels and Birds but has never killed them she just enjoys the chase. She is the least affectionate dog I have ever owned and only gets close in Winter when the house is cool she climbs under the quilt to keep warm, she also goes through periods of eating nothing them periods of eating big and scoffs down all her food and some extra, she can easily go on a five hour hill walk and never runs out of energy. I agree about children she has no time for little people under 4 ft and barks at them to go away. Love her to bit though never a dull day with a Jack in your life just entertaining in every way and great for security she barks at anything that comes near the house that is unknown

Now our Jack is a bit of a pig. I would not leave him alone with children. He has a wonderful nature but if the show isn't running according to his expectations, there will be consequences.

    I had a Jack Russell live to age 19. He was a great hunter. He was very loving. He wasn’t as energetic as my family’s new JRT, but loved to play in his younger years. Throughout his life he brought in at least 50 animals, including a rabbit just a few months before he died. I also hate to admit this, but when he was like 1-2 years old he brought home a dead kitten.
    He really was the best dog I have ever had. He was with me from 12 to 31 years old. He was part of our family. Everyone in the neighborhood loved him as my grandmother just let him roam. He had her trained! He knew all he had to do was bother her or bark and she would let him go outside. He was an extremely loving and loyal dog. My family’s new JRT has big shoes to fill.
    RIP Winston

    we had 2 female jrt's growing up, they defiantly have their own personalities. one was very uptight and the other so laid back!
    now that i have my own family we have a neutered male jrt he is the SWEETEST dog ever! it is 100% how you raise them!!! we had a 3 yr old boy and a 6 yr old girl when we got the jrt, but we trained him to be gentle with the kids, and he is great with the kids! i have seen my son stick his hand in the dogs food bowl as the dog was eating and the dog just walked away. BUT... he is prone to chasing rabbits and small animals around the farm so we keep him on a leash, but he is GREAT with the goats, even if they aren't very nice to him. he just wants to play, and NEVER bites or growls at them. i am a FIRM believer of you get out what you put into training your dog!

Lastly no two Jacks are ever the same, they are creations of individuality and a force of nature.

    Our mini Jack was raised with chickens, turkeys, ducks, and cattle from early puppyhood. She never bothers the birds and, of course, the cattle are just huge and not always dog tolerant. She hunts squirrels, mice, rats, and rabbits around the barns and shops. She's downright vicious with them. She is very vocal with growling and baring teeth. She's physical. But, it's mostly talk. She grabs while playing but doesn't clamp down hard. Jacks definitely need room to be who they are. I'm retired, so I have time. A person has to be ready for the huge personality in a tiny package. Their influence in a household is very large.

    These dogs are the best for active kids. My grandsons who both played football, baseball, and skateboarded were 11, and 12. This JR went everywhere he could with them. He loved to retrieve baseballs, he would go for hours. He loved going in the boat when they went fishing, he also loved being at the river where he could dig to his hearts content. He was a sweet loving companion to those boys, and their friends.

    I've had two Jacks so far, and the male I have now is just the biggest ham, when you take him in the stores he allowed to go into. He watches TV, and sings to the radio in the car, or the Semi.
    My last one, a female, when we were out on the Mississippi river, every time we hit the shore, she would jump off and go dig up a dead fish, then roll in it, EVERY TIME.
    So the dog shampoo stayed in the boat. She was the sweetest dog I've ever owned, smartest one too. I'd walk around the house with her hanging off the tug of war rope, snarling.
    Great Breed, but they can shed you a throw rug in about an hour.

    I have a
    JRT/Chihuahua mix and I’m really lucky that’s what happened bc he has a personality mix of both.
    He is an anxious little dog, shadow and lapdog, very barky but great at basic obedience besides coming when he is called unless treats are involved he is highly food motivated.
    I recently decided to adopt a kitten.. we’re having fun.. maybe one day he’ll stop barking.. one day..

    Great video! We've been owned by a JRT for the past 13 years. She fits all the things you mentioned. We've already given her a ramp for the bed. The only thing is that she now can walk without a leash for short periods. We had her trained by professionals - twice. (She failed the first time.). One question - why did this short video have THREE ads??

    Have a Welsh springer cross Jack Russel , 12 now , bit everyone but the wife when a puppy , realised when he started growling it was better to leave him alone and once we did this he was great . I can take food off him now and do anything with him now he trusts us . Still in good shape and I am going to miss him greatly when the time comes . Had Basset Hounds before , fantastic dogs and totally the opposite but knew I would never replace the last one , so got a totally different breed . Glad I did .

    Saw a video of hounds that cornered a cougar on a mountain cliff. It was a ferocious standoff until the Jack Russel showed up. He barked and snarled, then jumped into the cougar. Both disappeared over the edge and a minute later the little dog climbed back onto the ledge with the other dogs. He looked okay, and I thought what a tough little guy he was. And fearless! The smallest one was most courageous of all. 😮

    When I first got my JRT poodle mix, I didn’t know how to carry her. Turns out, the “like a football” is the best way. She’s not a snuggly dog, so carried head first is better for her than “like a baby” or held close to your body. Also, watch The Dog Hotel to see how the actors deal with the JRTs close body issues. 😆

    I’ve had 3 JRT’s and loved them all. Greatest personality of all dogs, nuttiest dogs on the planet, tenacious as hell but loving, funny and as tough as old boot leather. Our first dog was a houdini and escaped anywhere we put her, went to the shop and waited for the owner to give her a freddo frog, she tried ham, chicken and cheese but wouldn’t leave the store until she got a chocolate frog (the shookeeper billed me whenever I came to the store). Our second JRT terrorised the postman from our side of the fence, chased him and barked like crazy, till I invited the poor frightened postman into our yard to meet. I then showed him she could actually open the gate by herself, it had just been fun for her to scare him. He laughed so hard he cried knowing the dog could have got to him but never even tried. Our last JRT was a dog for our 51 (over an 11 year period) foster kids, kindest most loving and intuitive dog ever. In my 60’s now and have just got a maltese, fragile, loving, gentle, non shedding lap dog, love her to bits but only about 10% of the JRT’s personality.

    I had a JRT, "Pip" for fourteen years. If I had watched this video, I would not have gone for the breed, and the poster may have it right for most of the dogs. My dog was actually pretty good. Never jumped on furniture, or bolted; I used to walk her at heel for long distances without a leash. She was good with people, but deadly on small animals. Did not get along well with most other dogs, but there were exceptions. Interesting thing: she was digging a lot in the yard. We were concerned, but it turned out that we needed a new drain field for out septic system so the dog was smarter than us. Had a big problem with fleas! Our current Maltipoo and Bisonpoo never a flea!

    I have had 3 Jack Russell and never experienced most of these traits. Only one of them was territorial of her home and she would escape when you opened the door to lead you on a chase. They are wonderful dogs and make great companions. All of mine loved to ride in the car as long you weren't headed to the vets office. None ever tried to escape from the fenced in lot. Two of them were lap dogs. The alpha female did not get along well other female dogs but acted like street whore around males. They were all rescues are very good at training people. The last one(the alpha female) lived to be 17. I miss all of them.

    A Jack Russell/Beagle mix can be the best of both breeds or the worst. We are pretty sure our Beagle has some Jack Russell in her>>she is smaller than a normal beagle, can jump pretty high and has a LOT of energy. Our last beagle was also likely a Jack-a-Bea by looking at size and build but was much calmer.

    My girl is definitely a lapdog, when she wants to be. She is also a rabbit, squirrel, and mouse killer. She demands attention, both from her people and our other dog. She is fearless and tenacious at the dog park too, even with dogs much bigger than her. She can play for hours, wearing out several other dogs. She is the consumate toy destroyer, only the hard black rubber stuff stands a chance. Also, my back yard looks like the surface of the moon.
