What do
you get
when you
cross a
tornado
with a
medium-sized
terrier?
The Jack
Russell
Terrier!
These
highly-intelligent,
highly
energetic
working
terriers
were
originally
bred in
the mid
to late
1800's
by Rev.
John
Russell
of
Devonshire
England.
Renowned
for
their
exceptional
hunting
skills,
Jack
Russell
Terriers
are
tough,
fearless,
and
relentless
in
pursuit
of their
prey. If
you are
considering
the
purchase
of one
of these
exceptional
dogs, it
is very
important
to
carefully
consider
whether
you have
the time
and
facilities
to
properly
care for
a Jack
Russell
Terrier.
These
dogs
require
plenty
of daily
exercise
and
outdoor
activity.
With
sufficient
exercise,
the JRT
makes an
affectionate,
loyal
and
well-behaved
family
pet, but
cooped-up
in an
apartment
by
themselves,
these
terriers
can
become
"terrors"!
Don't
buy a
JRT on a
whim,
but if
you have
the time
and
facilities
to
devote,
owning a
Jack
Russell
Terrier
can be
the
experience
of a
lifetime! |

Jack

Terrier
Breed
History: |
The Jack
Russell
Terrier
is a fox
hunting
dog,
developed
in
England
in the
19th
century.
There
were
terriers
of all
descriptions
hunting
earth
dwelling
creatures
for
hundreds
of years
before
the
Reverend
John
(Jack)
Russell
developed
his
particular
"strain"
of
hunting
terriers.
The
Reverend
lived in
the
mid-1800's
in
Devonshire.
He
maintained
his dogs
with a
certain
body
style
and
temperament
best
suited
to do
the job
of fox
hunting.
Our
present
day Jack
Russell
Terriers
came to
be
solely
by the
efforts
of this
fox
hunting
parson.
The
conformation
of the
Jack
Russell
Terrier
follows
it's
original
function.
Early
British
fox
hunters
used a
black
and tan
type
terrier,
rather
than the
Fell or
Welsh
Terrier,
whose
colouring
was too
similar
to the
quarry
it was
hunting,
namely,
the fox.
Difficulty
in
telling
the
terrier
from the
creature
it was
bolting
out of
it's den
brought
about
the
desire
for a
more
white-bodied
dog. In
all
probability
the
English
Black
and Tan
Terrier
was
crossed
with the
Old
English
White
Terrier
(both
now
extinct)
to
achieve
the type
of coat
and
coloring
we have
today in
our Jack
Russell
Terriers.
The Jack
Russell
Terrier
of today
is still
able to
perform
the
functions
it was
originally
bred to
do. It
has
longer
legs
which
allow it
to
travel
on foot,
it has a
light
flexible
body
that
allows
it to
squeeze
into
underground
dens,
and it
has an
engaging
terrier
temperament
that
allows
it to be
both a
wonderful
companion
and an
excellent
hunter. |

Character:
This dog
is brave
(sometimes
excessively
so),
boisterous,
watchful,
a
self-starter,
and very
self-confident.
Temperament:
This dog
gets
along
well
with
children,
other
dogs,
and any
household
pets. It
is
however,
still a
hunting
dog, so
it
sometimes
can't
resist
the urge
to chase
the

may try
to be
dominant
over
other
dogs,
regardless
of size.
