I was so fortunate to have had a JRT. Sweet disposition. Smart! Had 30+ toys, & learned the name of EVERY one that I'd ask her to pull out of toy bowl. Loved swimming too. Became agressive when she she picked up the vibes of BAD strangers. Very protective. She was my family for almost 18 yrs. Miss her. 💖
They are devoted to their masters and mistresses for sure! I had one that needed to be put down after 14 and a half years, in November of 2020. Still tears me up. She was the best dog I ever had. She was also the most rambunctious! But I liked how she kept me on my toes. That little girl ALWAYS watched my back when I did dishes or folded laundry….no one was going to get past her! I think she rescued me more than I rescued her. Best dog EVER!
Sound like my beloved Lisa. Had her for almost 17 wonderful years. Loved everyone and loved to swim too. It was so hard to loose her two years ago, my best loyal loving friend. But now we do have another little loving JRT pup in our family and that’s amazing❤️
Mi e had a place for her toys and always put them away when done playing with them my brother in law teased her about them and moved them from there place one day didn't do that again got told off and bit
My jack Russell is 16yr old I've had him since he was 4 or 5 months old and he will not be left home alone, wherever I go, he as to come too, if I have to leave him even for half a hour he will bark constantly and urinate all over, he as bad separation anxiety and follows me everywhere even if I go into another room he'll be right behind me, he weren't even go for walkies with anyone but me but I don't mind, I love him so much he may be 16 but He's still a happy healthy little soldier and as no major health issues other than loosing most of his teeth and slight deterioration in his eyesight and hearing... he as his off days just like we all do. I'd be lost without him jack Russell's are amazing
@@gertrudesdemesa4510sadly since I posted my comment, my boy passed away 20th of may this year, he was a fit and healthy dog, and then his heath just suddenly deteriorated over a matter of weeks, I was absolutely heart broken, he played such a big part in my life for 17yr 😢
Never underestimate their intelligence. These little guys are super clever and learn things very quickly. Mine is very confident around strangers, almost cocky, but very approachable. The jealousy comments are spot on. But overall he’s the best dog I’ve ever had. We’re pretty much together 24x7 and it never gets old. Keeps us active for sure.
Super clever, our dog was trained in the sense that you could almost have a conversation with her, that being said, she knew exactly what you were asking and chose to say "no" 90% of the time 🤣🤣
I got a jack russell cross 12 years ago, she was a year old and came with a whole bundle of issues, the best dog I ever owned, half Jack Russell, but Jack through and through, oh my could that dog jump, she lost her year long battle with cushings disease in April this year, my heart was broken, so much that I vowed never to get another dog. Two weeks ago our little chocolate Jack Russell Bunty Boo arrived in our home, a little shivering scrap of a puppy, now a bouncy , lively little girl (this one is daddies girl, the other one was mine more than his) but she knows already who's in charge of the food bowl. Love this breed, lots and lots of love, firmness and attention goes into bringing them up, but oh boy do they leave a big gap when they cross over to doggie heaven...lol course I knew I'd be getting another one, the house isn't the same without them ❤
My boy was 19.9 yrs old when he passed. He was a fantastic boy. He loved to swim right up to 19 years nothing would keep him from the water. He was always sooo happy & he was never ever sick. He went everywhere with me. Best Dog I ever had & that is why when the time came to get a new puppy I had to have another jack russell. Once you go jack you don't go back.
We have just got a Jack X puppy. We previously had a toy poodle for 15 years. She was so intelligent and easy to train. However, Paddy puppy is the quickest, brightest boy! Loves people. Doesn’t bark unless he wants the toilet or to play. Very confident. ❤️ this little chap. We live near the beach so hopefully he can dig at the beach and not in the garden 😁.
I hope you're enjoying your baby! They are super clever. Ve aware their prey drive kicks in as they get older, from around 1 year old. Rabbits, rodents, guinea pigs, anything small amd fluffy that moves fast is not safe from a JRT. Even watch out for the chase instinct with birds and cats. They are delightful loving crazy beings! If holes in the yard are an issue, fill them with the dogs poop. It works. My boy only digs at the beach. Or for rats.
Oh they will dig at the beach. I guarantee that. Mine did not really dig at home. Nothing interesting to dig for. While hiking or at beach. Her favorite thing to do. Never trimmed a nail for her whole life.
I just lost mine three days ago and for such a wee thing she has left a HUGE hole in my heart. She was my fifth Jack, wonderful little girl, so intelligent so caring, greated me each time I cam back, even for an hour, with a kiss. She wouldn't go out and pee unless I went with her, she slept at the bottom of my bed and never did anything she shouldn't in the house. God I msis her.
Lost Buddy Lee October 30. She was 18,She lost use of her back legs before she was 8. Never changed her loving nature. Buddy would stay in bed all day with my Mother,who was terminally ill. She loved to ride in her wagon and get the mail. Buddy Lee will always be part of our family..God bless you.
I'm in the second month with my first Jack Russel. He isn't afraid of any strangers though 😂 he definitely tells us when he isn't done being pet though.
These are my peeps! I have had jacks since I was 12 years old and they have all been trained to assist me with my hearing loss. And I say “train” because they kind of just had to be show once… and then they understood. So smart and fierce protectors. We lost a 17 yo jack about 2 years ago and he actually chased a couple of guys out of my yard while I was 8 months pregnant when he tried to for his way in my house. Best dogs ever. Although…. It is a lot like having a perma-toddler
You have described my Jackie to a tea.. My Jackie loves food, she will take a mouth full of kibble and hide them around our house. Making sure she can have a snack when she wants one.I have found kibble in the corner of my sofa, behind flower pots, and in her bed.
We had a pond, and Jake was the 1st in it, every spring. Awesome muscles because he roamed on 6+ acres, w/livestock, bolders to climb, and vermin to chase everywhere! Fun 15 years, for sure!
My JRT LOVES anyone and everyone but his mama is his best friend. No separating us, I take him almost everywhere and he knows not to bark in stores or around people he doesn't know yet. He doesn't mind baths either, his zoomies are hilarious after one.
@@robinblackmoor8732 I was walking in the woods last week, I heard a high pitched squeal and she had a rat in her mouth, shook it to brake it's neck then dropped it at my feet, Her face was covered in rat blood,
@@dogwalker666 Absolutely. Saw that myself a few times. That is their go to move. Grab the neck, shake, bloody muzzle. I have witnessed the head come off with a pheasant. Mine liked to go after birds. Never really ate anything. Would bring them back to me. There is almost no way to stop it. I don't think you can train it out of them. On the other side, my Chesapeake Bay Retriever had a very soft mouth. Never any damage. No swim ever seemed to long for her, carrying a heavy duck.
I think most complaints are from bad owners. I hardly ever had any issues that you see in the videos. Laughing too much at shenanigans was my big issue. My Jaws hurt sometimes.
My first JR was a rescue. I swore I would not get another because I did not want a dog smarter than me! Second was a rescue also! Independent and settles down about 5-6 yrs of age! Great dog!
Lost my jack last year, she was one month away from being 18, we went through the best times together (2005 - 2023) she owned all the parks in our area for hours never getting tired playing non stop, she didnt acknowledce other dogs just took thier toys and never gave it back, she was pure joy her name was Chiquita, i miss her dearly.
I had 3 jrts. They were working dogs and loved ratting and rabbiting etc. Sadly they passed away. I truly wish I had bred a litter from each of them to keep their bloodline. I miss them. But I truly thank them all for the enjoyment they brought us and we brought them.
My Jack Russell loves the water! I gave her a chance to explore the lake as a puppy. She has jumped off our dock to swim with other Labs in the neighborhood.
#9 do not ask them to stop barking. They won’t. You can scream, threaten, and cry. They will not stop barking until……you put on sound cancellation earphones and play Megadeath at a high volume. You can then ignore them and after hours, they will stop. I love them. They are the absolute best.
I had three Jack russels! They were a little family. I had male & female & one of their female pups. They were my babies & I loved them more than anything! The male died at 15, tge female lived 17 yrs & the female pup was almost 16. I just lost the pup on February 2! I miss them all terribly! I’m lost w/o them! I said I wasn’t getting anymore bc it’s so painful losing them!!! Getting another one does cross my mind! I could never replace my little Russel family!!! I called them “the Russels”! lol Idk if I’ll get another! I def can’t replace them, but I need a companion! 💔❤🐾🐾🐾
I got a JRT (which is 3 years old atm). He loves other people and will introduce himself every chance he gets. He is very picky in being social with other dogs however, mostly he does not like other dogs with the exception of 2 dogs which also live in our neighborhood. He listens to me when outdoors but not indoors, with my wife it is just the other way around. With our cat he is very friendly (she is 11 years atm) he even washes her. Only if their is chicken on the menu for them it is war :) he even stays calm when the cat steals his food (except when it is chicken). Loud noises not so much of a problem we live in the center of a city and never had a problem with it (storm or firecrackers, he does not seem to be scared). Only the doorbell is his enemy :)
Yeah that is my experience. Loves adult humans. Does not like young children or other dogs. I am not sure how they mate. She is fine with the other dogs in our pack, but not so much with new dogs. Like our cats too, but not other cats too much. They are all a bit different. When you speak with JRT owners, some things are the same, while other things you don't experience at all.
@@PetsAplenty yes 3 we love Russell's. More than one is actually easier because they entertain themselves. They are so loving and lots of energetic fun.
@@50calpulse76That is what I discovered. I got mine from a couple with children that could not handle her. I took her off of their plate. Brought her to my home. She was dog 4 there. Different breeds. She became the pack leader. Smallest, youngest dog, but still leader, and she was the best dog I ever had. Sometimes your jaw got tired from laughing, but that was about it.
They hate meeting strangers 😂😂 my 12 years old Parson still walks down the street praying that some stranger will look at him so he can wag his tale and be important.
Our Dolce is an adopted dog about 5 years old .She has finally decided she is ours.This video was very helpful and she shows all the behaviours. Thank you for the info.🐶
My dog was not jealous so its not true for all JRTs. She was absolutely lovely with our newborn. Really careful and patient. Our new little pup is not jealous of our cat either, he wants to lay next to the cat and play with him (not so popular for the cat though).
This video was very helpful to me, thank you! I'm a first time J.r. owner as well as my first time having a puppy. You helped me learn things about her I didn't know. Thanks!
Maybe all of this aren’t true for your puppy. My two JRTs love everyone even strangers and loves to swim. Not jealous either. Just treated with lots of love and respect and walks and play every day.
I think the best advice I ever received as the first time owner of a JRT was that consider them (and all dogs) as toddlers. Like toddlers, they are curious, energetic, loving, and never grow up. It totally changed my view of how to handle and train dogs. That bit of advice, and one more - Be The Person Your Dog Thinks You Are
I had a sweet JRT for 16+ years. She was so affectionate & loved to swim & play soccer. Was great with the kids & had 2 litters of beautiful puppies. She liked all children & anyone who would play with her. She had no problem with strangers & used to visit all the neighbors.
My JR is told nothing until I say ' It's OK !" or. "WHO IS IT ?". HE has learned to take his cue from me ... & I him, by his bark, the deeper the tone the greater his concern. We both learned to listen the hard way. No we are not too paranoid overtly anyway.
My dad got us a Jackie for my 15th birthday in January, he's been doing well so far, but as time passed, I noticed how guilty I was after I watched this, their are times where we whip him for chewing on our shoes, now I feel bad for treating him like that as I too did the same actions even when it was my dog I didn't expect that he didn't like being confined as well I feel like I failed to care for my jackie, he's so sweet, filled with energy, excited and always there to greet us when we get home I would like to know more about how I can properly give my Jackie attention and care he needs tysm fo this video❤
My JR has always had plenty of chew toys, chewing is fun and calming, I always give him the cardboard cores from toilet rolls and kitchen rolls for him to chew, it means I have to pick up the bits of cardboard when he's finished but he never chews anything without permission, if I leave a toy or cardboard tube somewhere for him to find he always brings it to me and drops it, he won't chew it until I pick it up and give it to him. If I didn't give him something to chew he would no doubt chew anything he felt like chewing to satisfy that chewing urge Hope this helps, all the best. 👍🇬🇧❤️
Never hit any animal. He is a baby. Chewing because he is teething. Take away what he chews, say no puppy! And give them a toy or chew to have. Don't beat them. Teach them.
None of my jacks have ever been afraid of fireworks or thunder. I've had jacks for over 25 years and never had a problem. Love to be petted and always want to lay on or beside me. I do have to crate them when I go to work or leave for something only because of my new girl. She has developed separation anxiety pretty badly and crating her with my 7yo boy has helped a lot. They are jealous of one another but get along pretty well. My boy loves people, little girl has to evaluate. I haven't had a JRT yet that adheres to all of these characteristics that they describe in the video. Every dog is different so even in a breed, you can't just blanket what they will be like.
Mine, kyo is not afraid of thunder or fireworks but he can't stand the buzzer (I live in a condo and when someone is at the door they press the botton downstairs when he hears it going off he runs over to the panel on the wall like he wants to attack it
Our Jack Russell “Fonzi”….loves water, and is a great swimmer, he also loves muddy puddles …..he’s also not bothered one bit by thunder, fireworks or any loud noises even motorcycle racing, he loves being the centre of attention 😂😂😂👍🇮🇲
My jackie drives me crazy but, we love her 🥰🥰🥰 this is the 2nd jrt we have had and we are back into puppy proofing every inch of our home. We love this one year old puppy and are making the most of our time together
The issue is that the JRT is smarter than you are. No matter what I think of, mine figures out a new shenanigan to do. I swear she spends all day thinking of a new antic, or a way to cause mischief.
Yup, can't argue that. Mine was dog number 4 at the time, but she was my favorite very quickly. The other dogs were older, and I think they liked being left to themselves more when she arrived.
I am not sure about that one. Mine loves adult humans. Does not like young children or new dogs that much. She can probably be dog napped real easy. Just ask if she wants to go for a ride and she would probably get into anybodies car.
@@robinblackmoor8732 yeah I tested that before. I have a friend she never met before. So I told him to dog kidnap my dog and see if she'll follow... he grabbed her leashed and told her to follow and she did... but after a minute, she did get worried on where I was so she resisted until she slipped out her harness. He tried to chase her but she outrun him. My dog is easily trusting. But she's smart enough to know if something seems wrong.
My Jack Russell runs to the end of a rope by the street to greet people that walk by especially if they have a dog. She usually brings her ball so they can play. And she loves to play with other dogs when people that have dogs stop by it's the only time she barks. Soon there will be a chorus of dogs barking it's actually the only time she barks. Although once during a Christmas special she sang along with Beethoven the Saint Bernard. She also knows a dozen tricks but gets too excited to perform them in front of strangers. Unfortunately once when I was stranded out of town for a surprise car repair I was gone for 36 hours. No one's going to believe this but 36 hours later when I open the door she had to go to the bathroom so bad she made it off the porch but not off the sidewalk and urinated but did not urinate in the house for 36 hours. I was sick for a week so she didn't get to go out for anything except to relieve herself. Fortunately she can play soccer by herself in the house so she did and spent much time by the door standing there looking at me and a few times screaming like only a Jack Russell can in a demand to go out and play. She was remarkably easy to train and everything she learned she took very seriously. She doesn't chew anything except her toys. But until she got old never enjoyed being petted because that meant play time. Now she climbs up on the sofa and demands belly rubs. And sometimes when she wants to treat she'll come over and start to do tricks and then demand to be paid on treats immediately. The only normal thing she does is have a hatred of cars and loud noises and hates the 4th of July with a passion.
All very true for my boy. He's a snuggler, but only when he wants. I get booted if he doesn't want to be touched 😅 or he'll grunt. I ask if he wants cuddles, he'll step back if ge doesn't. He likes swimming, though, we had early intros to it as we live by the ocean. He's very jealous, aloof with strangers. They listen... in the end. He is the love of my life ❤
Now I know my JRT (SPANKY) is messed up. He loves meeting new people, he's not scared of my friends Harley Davidson and he sits and looks at fireworks.
Mine is a Jack Russell x Border Terrier. A really wonderful dog. Clever, healthy, beautiful, fit. A bit too friendly with strangers. Sings loudly to any music or church bells! Never had a fight. Never runs away from us. Very independent.
My Jack Russell doesn't care about fireworks or gun shots, he associates guns with outdoor fun. He will swim trough open water, hop through swamp mud and lilly pads when he's stalking waterfowl. He runs along whitetail deer like he's Forest Gump. Will lose his mind if you udder the word chipmunk or squirrel. Will stop any bad behavior if you say the word penitentiary. He thinks honey bees are tasty treats. He makes noises like a whitetail buck when he's pissed off by breathing out trough his nose. Chases turkeys in the woods like he's in a pinball machine. He been known to throw bones and toys at the TV. His favorite show is watching south poll cattle on Greg Judy's RUclips channel. Tell me, is this considered normal behavior?
My female JR wags her tail when a stranger approaches but if the stranger gets too close she lets our a nasty growl which develops into a loud stay away bark. It's quite hilarious. If we're with a bunch of friends who know her we start laughing because we know what's next when some knuckle head thinks the wag is an invitation. She'sfunny
My Jack Russell is deaf so she loves to meet strangers and shes so friendly. She loves to play with my hair in the morning for sure and she has 2 different beds since she LOVES to go under my sheets so she got a bed with a blanket on it. She also chases lights.....i don't know if that's normal for a dog. I never had any of my dogs do that ALSO she is so jealous i can't even pet my other dog. She's nice tho some days just don't stare at her too much she will bark at you. She's going to be 1 year old in 3 months! They also grow so fast!!!
@@i_steal_countrysI never had more than the one. She was 4th dog in the pack and became the leader. Never had issues with her. When at work, she played with the other dogs. Easy dog to have for me. Best dog I ever had.
First one we got about two months ago. Ten year old rescue and super friendly and cuddly too. Loves his belly rubs! Only problem is he barks like crazy at other dogs and sometimes people when out for a walk.
Huh???? Our doggo Chloe-The-Chlo-Meister-Bestest-Pupper is evvvvvvveryone’s BFF. You come in our house? She is the ultimate welcoming hostess. Live our JRT gal!!
I can say another thing Jack Russells don’t seem to like at least mine anyway spending a long time on the computer mine gets very jealous and starts barking as if he’s demanding attention. Gets very annoying when I want to do something like work on my web site
Our daughter and husband own a 2yr old female JR. We're asked to care for her on occasional long weekends. She loves our sunroom, but won't nap because she barks at every bird or squirrel that happens to spend time on the yard! She has anxiety and will bite if over tired! How do we make our time together more enjoyable?
Wicket, a Jack/Tibetan Terrier, was 5 yrs old when I welcomed into my home. I bought 2 sweaters for him and Ollie, a Chug, both about the same size. When I put it on Wicket, he Froze. Wouldn't move, wouldn't blink, wouldn't pant, looked like a statue. No sweaters for him! Ollie's got a 'wardrobe' now. He also freezes when the leash gets wrapped around his legs. Just stops.
This confuses the heck out of me, my Dad has a Jack Russell and he's the best dog but none of these things fit except for that he likes attention. He loves being cuddled anytime, all the time. He doesn't mind if he's alone, he sleeps, plays with his toys, sleeps, goes for a walk in the yard, sleeps. No digging, no barking, he's totally chill with it. Loves strangers, will bark to alert if one comes to the door but then just wants them to pat him or play with him. I think that's Dad's reaction to the strangers, they're never there for bad reasons, if Dad was not happy that they were there I think he would behave differently. Likes the water. Dad has a small house and a small garden. He loves it. He doesn't do anything destructive and he's not anxious or bored. He's extremely smart and he loves to play but he's just as happy to lie on you and sleep and be cuddled and he's still young, only just stopped being a pup, it's not like he's super calm because he's old. He's just a cool dog. Probably the best dog I know, love him to bits.
My Jack loves water. Baths are just baths but swimming is something else. The amount of money I have to pay for fines I've got because she jumped in the water in park where it is forbidden. Now with a knee injury it is the best physiotherapy
I have a 7 month old Jack, also have a 15yr old Shih tzu & a 15yr old ragdoll. It was fine when he was really small, the cat would play with him all the time. But my dog couldn’t tolerate him, still can’t. I love him to pieces but i am concerned that he’s getting a bit aggressive.
My girl gets sad if we leave to go visit other family for the weekend even though she doesn't stay home alone. She's my shadow and she waits for me on the couch until she hears the door.
For some reason mine likes biting my hand or feet or stuff I think she does it for fun but it gets quite a struggle when I'm trying to do some work and she keeps interrupting me in middle 😅 Some said to get her a calcium bone but oh well that didnt help guess she loves chewing on my hands too much
I miss my little Simon so much. My heart just breaks to look at these little guys. Simon was white black and tan. He was one of the original breeds of jack Russell.
My Gobe didn't conform to this list much at all. I'm trying to adopt rescue JRT but too many issues family gatherings other dogs kids ect. Any suggestions adopting or puppy without feeding puppy mills? I found Gobe polaroid ad in a gas station small outstanding breeder
1 - my JRTs dont like to be petted 😂 they are like cats haha 2 - true. They love to be alone BUT when they have open doors to the yard. If i close the door and they cant go out they’ll distroy anything they find. 3 - yup. Hate kids AND hate strangers 😂 they’ll bark….but if they come to the house and stay for some time they will like them. 4 - yes, they are jealous asf. Never met a dog that jealous. 5 - true: porsche with no breaks 6 - idk about that. They are okay with taking baths (not their fav thing to do but with snacks it’s okay). Still didnt take them swimming so idk if they’ll like it. Will find out soon :) 7 - my love thunders and lightings, fireworks etc but they HATE when human make some random sounds (even taking loud deep breath - they’ll attack you) 😂 8 - my love learning new trick. But they dont want to listen if im not having snacks (yet 😅)
My jack russell loved people. HATED children. We adopted him and they estimated him to be 6 or 7 years old. We had him for 9 great years. He was the opposite of every jack I've ever met. He hated toys, activity in general, and being outdoors. His favorite word was, "bed." I miss him so much!
@@PetsAplenty was :'( We had to put him down on my birthday this past year. We adopted him thinking that we were going to give him a good home to live out the last few years of his life. Almost a decade later, he was still around! He was so great.
@@PetsAplenty one of my friends had one that visited sometimes, they would play a game where she would get as close to his owner as his Jack got to me. It was a tit for tat competition.
OK wonderful dog-intelligent, loving, possessive, energetic. But we're having problems. I don't know what to do and don't have thousands of dollars for behaviorists. We have an 8 yo border collie mix, 7 yo jack russell and a 5 yo boxer lab mix. The 2 older ones are getting into fights. They have had 5 fights over about 5 years. Vicious terrifying fights - not just growling - biting. We keep them separate - if they are with me I take turns one loose and one in their crate. The jrt had some ear infections that I thought aggravated the issue. We brought het to the vet and even a vet specialist for allergy and Dermatology. The last two during this summer were not related to an ear infection. What can I do?
When walking my jr i met a woman with a jr cross border collie, absolutely gorgeous dog the size of a border collie but the head and coat of a jack Russell.

I was so fortunate to have had a JRT. Sweet disposition. Smart! Had 30+ toys, & learned the name of EVERY one that I'd ask her to pull out of toy bowl. Loved swimming too. Became agressive when she she picked up the vibes of BAD strangers. Very protective. She was my family for almost 18 yrs. Miss her. 💖
They are devoted to their masters and mistresses for sure! I had one that needed to be put down after 14 and a half years, in November of 2020. Still tears me up. She was the best dog I ever had. She was also the most rambunctious! But I liked how she kept me on my toes. That little girl ALWAYS watched my back when I did dishes or folded laundry….no one was going to get past her! I think she rescued me more than I rescued her. Best dog EVER!
Sound like my beloved Lisa. Had her for almost 17 wonderful years. Loved everyone and loved to swim too. It was so hard to loose her two years ago, my best loyal loving friend. But now we do have another little loving JRT pup in our family and that’s amazing❤️
Glad mine is never agressive, he loves everyone and everything.
Mi e had a place for her toys and always put them away when done playing with them my brother in law teased her about them and moved them from there place one day didn't do that again got told off and bit
We have four and I couldn’t imagine life without them
My jack Russell is 16yr old I've had him since he was 4 or 5 months old and he will not be left home alone, wherever I go, he as to come too, if I have to leave him even for half a hour he will bark constantly and urinate all over, he as bad separation anxiety and follows me everywhere even if I go into another room he'll be right behind me, he weren't even go for walkies with anyone but me but I don't mind, I love him so much he may be 16 but He's still a happy healthy little soldier and as no major health issues other than loosing most of his teeth and slight deterioration in his eyesight and hearing... he as his off days just like we all do. I'd be lost without him jack Russell's are amazing
I hope you will be together for a long time. He is so sweet! ❤️❤️❤️
My Jack Russell was healthy but because of his dental disease he passed last May 11. He was almost 17 years old 🥲😞🙏
@@gertrudesdemesa4510sadly since I posted my comment, my boy passed away 20th of may this year, he was a fit and healthy dog, and then his heath just suddenly deteriorated over a matter of weeks, I was absolutely heart broken, he played such a big part in my life for 17yr 😢
I think my jack is broken, he literally loves strangers and will go out of his way to introduce himself LMAO
My too
Mine too. He hates other dogs but not strangers 🤪
No your Jackie is not broken he’s just a very loving affectionate little angel! But then again you knew that!
Same
Same 😂
Never underestimate their intelligence. These little guys are super clever and learn things very quickly. Mine is very confident around strangers, almost cocky, but very approachable. The jealousy comments are spot on. But overall he’s the best dog I’ve ever had. We’re pretty much together 24x7 and it never gets old. Keeps us active for sure.
Super clever, our dog was trained in the sense that you could almost have a conversation with her, that being said, she knew exactly what you were asking and chose to say "no" 90% of the time 🤣🤣
I got a jack russell cross 12 years ago, she was a year old and came with a whole bundle of issues, the best dog I ever owned, half Jack Russell, but Jack through and through, oh my could that dog jump, she lost her year long battle with cushings disease in April this year, my heart was broken, so much that I vowed never to get another dog. Two weeks ago our little chocolate Jack Russell Bunty Boo arrived in our home, a little shivering scrap of a puppy, now a bouncy , lively little girl (this one is daddies girl, the other one was mine more than his) but she knows already who's in charge of the food bowl. Love this breed, lots and lots of love, firmness and attention goes into bringing them up, but oh boy do they leave a big gap when they cross over to doggie heaven...lol course I knew I'd be getting another one, the house isn't the same without them ❤
Well, I learned hard lessons to keep them In leash next time we walk outside, my dog chased the rabbit down the street🤣
@@risukakazari5642 aaa
Especially when they want something.
My boy was 19.9 yrs old when he passed. He was a fantastic boy. He loved to swim right up to 19 years nothing would keep him from the water. He was always sooo happy & he was never ever sick. He went everywhere with me. Best Dog I ever had & that is why when the time came to get a new puppy I had to have another jack russell. Once you go jack you don't go back.
Sorry to hear that.
My Jack Russell hates water.
Wow, I hope mine hangs in there that long. Had him since 10 weeks and hie turns 9 this year.
My Jack loves people! He thinks everyone that comes over comes to see him!!! 😅
I don't get that. My Jack Russell terrier loves adults. Does not like young children, does not like other dogs that much.
#9 they hate being called "Jackies."
We have just got a Jack X puppy. We previously had a toy poodle for 15 years. She was so intelligent and easy to train. However, Paddy puppy is the quickest, brightest boy! Loves people. Doesn’t bark unless he wants the toilet or to play. Very confident. ❤️ this little chap. We live near the beach so hopefully he can dig at the beach and not in the garden 😁.
I hope you're enjoying your baby! They are super clever. Ve aware their prey drive kicks in as they get older, from around 1 year old. Rabbits, rodents, guinea pigs, anything small amd fluffy that moves fast is not safe from a JRT. Even watch out for the chase instinct with birds and cats. They are delightful loving crazy beings! If holes in the yard are an issue, fill them with the dogs poop. It works. My boy only digs at the beach. Or for rats.
Oh they will dig at the beach. I guarantee that. Mine did not really dig at home. Nothing interesting to dig for. While hiking or at beach. Her favorite thing to do. Never trimmed a nail for her whole life.
My jack loves to snuggle with me. And mine stays in the house while I work. He's a ball of energy.
I just lost mine three days ago and for such a wee thing she has left a HUGE hole in my heart. She was my fifth Jack, wonderful little girl, so intelligent so caring, greated me each time I cam back, even for an hour, with a kiss. She wouldn't go out and pee unless I went with her, she slept at the bottom of my bed and never did anything she shouldn't in the house. God I msis her.
She is so sweet. I am so sorry for your loss.
Lost Buddy Lee October 30. She was 18,She lost use of her back legs before she was 8.
Never changed her loving nature. Buddy would stay in bed all day with my Mother,who was terminally ill. She loved to
ride in her wagon and get the mail. Buddy Lee will always be part of our family..God bless you.
My condolences
She sounds so beautiful ❤️
@@lucasgiglio2929 She is still, in my heart but my first xmas without her means that I am alone for the first time. My life feels wrong.
I'm in the second month with my first Jack Russel. He isn't afraid of any strangers though 😂 he definitely tells us when he isn't done being pet though.
These are my peeps! I have had jacks since I was 12 years old and they have all been trained to assist me with my hearing loss. And I say “train” because they kind of just had to be show once… and then they understood. So smart and fierce protectors. We lost a 17 yo jack about 2 years ago and he actually chased a couple of guys out of my yard while I was 8 months pregnant when he tried to for his way in my house.
Best dogs ever. Although…. It is a lot like having a perma-toddler
I lost my beloved 17 year old just before Christmas last year. I'll never stop missing my little love
Awe, I send you condolences. Sorry for the loss of your loved one. Now he may be your angel
I love a jack Russell. I lost mine in march this year. I have his paw print and name on my arm . I have another jack and chihuahua.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@michealk3322 thank you .
@@PetsAplenty thank you
You have described my Jackie to a tea.. My Jackie loves food, she will take a mouth full of kibble and hide them around our house. Making sure she can have a snack when she wants one.I have found kibble in the corner of my sofa, behind flower pots, and in her bed.
We had a pond, and Jake was the 1st in it, every spring. Awesome muscles because he roamed on 6+ acres, w/livestock, bolders to climb, and vermin to chase everywhere! Fun 15 years, for sure!
My JRT LOVES anyone and everyone but his mama is his best friend. No separating us, I take him almost everywhere and he knows not to bark in stores or around people he doesn't know yet. He doesn't mind baths either, his zoomies are hilarious after one.
Jack Russell’s will love you beyond belief. Jack Russell’s are also hunters. You CAN NOT get away from this!
That's true. They are really loving!
They definitely hate Rats if you know what i mean.
@@dogwalker666Oh yeah! Any rodents.
@@robinblackmoor8732 I was walking in the woods last week, I heard a high pitched squeal and she had a rat in her mouth, shook it to brake it's neck then dropped it at my feet, Her face was covered in rat blood,
@@dogwalker666 Absolutely. Saw that myself a few times. That is their go to move. Grab the neck, shake, bloody muzzle. I have witnessed the head come off with a pheasant. Mine liked to go after birds. Never really ate anything. Would bring them back to me. There is almost no way to stop it. I don't think you can train it out of them. On the other side, my Chesapeake Bay Retriever had a very soft mouth. Never any damage. No swim ever seemed to long for her, carrying a heavy duck.
I found this content to be the most accurate, as related to my own experience with them. THANKS MUCH :)
Working with many breeds, and owning JRT's. I know they are the best dogs i could ever ask for
JRT's are naturally sweet
I think most complaints are from bad owners. I hardly ever had any issues that you see in the videos. Laughing too much at shenanigans was my big issue. My Jaws hurt sometimes.
My first JR was a rescue. I swore I would not get another because I did not want a dog smarter than me! Second was a rescue also! Independent and settles down about 5-6 yrs of age! Great dog!
Great dogs right! haha
Lost my jack last year, she was one month away from being 18, we went through the best times together (2005 - 2023) she owned all the parks in our area for hours never getting tired playing non stop, she didnt acknowledce other dogs just took thier toys and never gave it back, she was pure joy her name was Chiquita, i miss her dearly.
You will not go to the bathroom alone.
You will not shut any door in the house.
That's true
I am finding that out after two months
Yup. Always wants to be able to see you.
I had 3 jrts. They were working dogs and loved ratting and rabbiting etc. Sadly they passed away. I truly wish I had bred a litter from each of them to keep their bloodline. I miss them. But I truly thank them all for the enjoyment they brought us and we brought them.
I am sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️
My JRT is almost 2yrs and I want to breed her just once and keep one of the pups..
My JR absolutely loves the pool😂😂😂😂 it’s the first thing her punk ass wants to do when we go outside. She jumps in that damn pool
He loves the pool. That's cool!
My Jack Russell loves the water! I gave her a chance to explore the lake as a puppy. She has jumped off our dock to swim with other Labs in the neighborhood.
Swim with other Labs that's really cute!!
Mine would play in water all day. When it was bath time, she acted like she was going to be murdered.
My jack(Eddie) hates when my alarm goes off in the morning. He likes to sleep in until 9:00am!
My Jack Russell will also go round the house sleeping with the last to get up. He'll lie in til 11.00AM no problem at all....😁
Well, think about it. ...are you overjoyed to be woken up from a beautiful sleep by an alien machine that makes such annoying noises??!!
Both mine JRTs loves everyone (humans, cats and dogs) and are so happy to say hello😍❤️
They are so cute! ❤️
#9 do not ask them to stop barking. They won’t. You can scream, threaten, and cry. They will not stop barking until……you put on sound cancellation earphones and play Megadeath at a high volume. You can then ignore them and after hours, they will stop.
I love them. They are the absolute best.
Mine did not bark. Really only did it to announce that somebody was on the porch. Barked before they could ring bell. Did not really need a doorbell.
I had three Jack russels! They were a little family. I had male & female & one of their female pups. They were my babies & I loved them more than anything! The male died at 15, tge female lived 17 yrs & the female pup was almost 16. I just lost the pup on February 2! I miss them all terribly! I’m lost w/o them! I said I wasn’t getting anymore bc it’s so painful losing them!!! Getting another one does cross my mind! I could never replace my little Russel family!!! I called them “the Russels”! lol Idk if I’ll get another! I def can’t replace them, but I need a companion! 💔❤🐾🐾🐾
I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️
Dixie absolutely has never met a stranger. She loves EVERYONE!
I got a JRT (which is 3 years old atm). He loves other people and will introduce himself every chance he gets. He is very picky in being social with other dogs however, mostly he does not like other dogs with the exception of 2 dogs which also live in our neighborhood. He listens to me when outdoors but not indoors, with my wife it is just the other way around. With our cat he is very friendly (she is 11 years atm) he even washes her. Only if their is chicken on the menu for them it is war :) he even stays calm when the cat steals his food (except when it is chicken). Loud noises not so much of a problem we live in the center of a city and never had a problem with it (storm or firecrackers, he does not seem to be scared). Only the doorbell is his enemy :)
He is very friendly with your two cats that's so sweet! Thank you for sharing this to us! ☺️💕
@@PetsAplenty just one cat ;)
Yeah that is my experience. Loves adult humans. Does not like young children or other dogs. I am not sure how they mate. She is fine with the other dogs in our pack, but not so much with new dogs. Like our cats too, but not other cats too much. They are all a bit different. When you speak with JRT owners, some things are the same, while other things you don't experience at all.
@@robinblackmoor8732 our cat is friendly with dogs, other cats and she becomes the warrior princess of hell. :)
I have 3 JRT's and love this breed they are super smart. Love every minute with them
You have three!? That's cool!
@@PetsAplenty yes 3 we love Russell's. More than one is actually easier because they entertain themselves. They are so loving and lots of energetic fun.
@@50calpulse76That is what I discovered. I got mine from a couple with children that could not handle her. I took her off of their plate. Brought her to my home. She was dog 4 there. Different breeds. She became the pack leader. Smallest, youngest dog, but still leader, and she was the best dog I ever had. Sometimes your jaw got tired from laughing, but that was about it.
They hate meeting strangers 😂😂 my 12 years old Parson still walks down the street praying that some stranger will look at him so he can wag his tale and be important.
Our Dolce is an adopted dog about 5 years old .She has finally decided she is ours.This video was very helpful and she shows all the behaviours. Thank you for the info.🐶
Glad we could help!
Mine is a rescue I got her as a 6yo she took to me instantly and hates my leaving her.
My dog was not jealous so its not true for all JRTs. She was absolutely lovely with our newborn. Really careful and patient. Our new little pup is not jealous of our cat either, he wants to lay next to the cat and play with him (not so popular for the cat though).
I will probably always have a Jack Russell.
This video was very helpful to me, thank you! I'm a first time J.r. owner as well as my first time having a puppy. You helped me learn things about her I didn't know.
Thanks!
Hope you have lots of energy, because they certainly do 🤣 but you can't find better friends💞
Maybe all of this aren’t true for your puppy. My two JRTs love everyone even strangers and loves to swim. Not jealous either. Just treated with lots of love and respect and walks and play every day.
I think the best advice I ever received as the first time owner of a JRT was that consider them (and all dogs) as toddlers. Like toddlers, they are curious, energetic, loving, and never grow up. It totally changed my view of how to handle and train dogs. That bit of advice, and one more - Be The Person Your Dog Thinks You Are
I had a sweet JRT for 16+ years. She was so affectionate & loved to swim & play soccer. Was great with the kids & had 2 litters of beautiful puppies. She liked all children & anyone who would play with her. She had no problem with strangers & used to visit all the neighbors.
Thanks for sharing!!🐕
My JR is told nothing until I say ' It's OK !" or. "WHO IS IT ?". HE has learned to take his cue from me ... & I him, by his bark, the deeper the tone the greater his concern. We both learned to listen the hard way. No we are not too paranoid overtly anyway.
My dad got us a Jackie for my 15th birthday in January, he's been doing well so far, but as time passed, I noticed how guilty I was after I watched this, their are times where we whip him for chewing on our shoes, now I feel bad for treating him like that as I too did the same actions even when it was my dog
I didn't expect that he didn't like being confined as well I feel like I failed to care for my jackie, he's so sweet, filled with energy, excited and always there to greet us when we get home I would like to know more about how I can properly give my Jackie attention and care he needs tysm fo this video❤
My JR has always had plenty of chew toys, chewing is fun and calming, I always give him the cardboard cores from toilet rolls and kitchen rolls for him to chew, it means I have to pick up the bits of cardboard when he's finished but he never chews anything without permission, if I leave a toy or cardboard tube somewhere for him to find he always brings it to me and drops it, he won't chew it until I pick it up and give it to him. If I didn't give him something to chew he would no doubt chew anything he felt like chewing to satisfy that chewing urge
Hope this helps, all the best. 👍🇬🇧❤️
Don't ever whip your dog because you didn't figure out that puppies chew on things
Never hit any animal. He is a baby. Chewing because he is teething. Take away what he chews, say no puppy! And give them a toy or chew to have. Don't beat them. Teach them.
Also, see a dogs mouth like our hands...it's how they work.out what stuff IS sometimes.
None of my jacks have ever been afraid of fireworks or thunder. I've had jacks for over 25 years and never had a problem. Love to be petted and always want to lay on or beside me. I do have to crate them when I go to work or leave for something only because of my new girl. She has developed separation anxiety pretty badly and crating her with my 7yo boy has helped a lot. They are jealous of one another but get along pretty well. My boy loves people, little girl has to evaluate. I haven't had a JRT yet that adheres to all of these characteristics that they describe in the video. Every dog is different so even in a breed, you can't just blanket what they will be like.
Abby scared of loud noise
Mine cringes at thunder
Mine, kyo is not afraid of thunder or fireworks but he can't stand the buzzer (I live in a condo and when someone is at the door they press the botton downstairs when he hears it going off he runs over to the panel on the wall like he wants to attack it
Yeah JRT don't match breed behavior as much as other breeds. Some things owners will agree they do, others no.
Our Jack Russell “Fonzi”….loves water, and is a great swimmer, he also loves muddy puddles …..he’s also not bothered one bit by thunder, fireworks or any loud noises even motorcycle racing, he loves being the centre of attention 😂😂😂👍🇮🇲
Love that! You dog is beautiful! 💕
My jackie drives me crazy but, we love her 🥰🥰🥰 this is the 2nd jrt we have had and we are back into puppy proofing every inch of our home. We love this one year old puppy and are making the most of our time together
Aaw! That's so cute! 🥰🥰
The issue is that the JRT is smarter than you are. No matter what I think of, mine figures out a new shenanigan to do. I swear she spends all day thinking of a new antic, or a way to cause mischief.
I love my jack Russell. He’s so cute
"they believe that they are your everything" well duh, she is! 🥰
Right? They really are!
Indeed
Yup, can't argue that. Mine was dog number 4 at the time, but she was my favorite very quickly. The other dogs were older, and I think they liked being left to themselves more when she arrived.
I have had jack's my whole life , would not have any other dog , just wonderful friends
They are wonderful dogs!
My Jack Russell loves meeting new strangers. In fact, she would love to walk with them.
Aaw! That's cute!
I am not sure about that one. Mine loves adult humans. Does not like young children or new dogs that much. She can probably be dog napped real easy. Just ask if she wants to go for a ride and she would probably get into anybodies car.
@@robinblackmoor8732 yeah I tested that before. I have a friend she never met before. So I told him to dog kidnap my dog and see if she'll follow... he grabbed her leashed and told her to follow and she did... but after a minute, she did get worried on where I was so she resisted until she slipped out her harness. He tried to chase her but she outrun him.
My dog is easily trusting. But she's smart enough to know if something seems wrong.
Best breed ever!!!! 😍😍😍
I think this is a pretty accurate summary of this breed.
Thank you for supporting our channel! Appreciated that! 🥰❤️
Yeah, it is pretty good.
I’ve had the pleasure of owning 4 jacks n fostering several, they are a wonderful breed. They take a lot of patience!
They really are wonderful dog! 🥰
Thanks for the information
You're welcome! 💕
My Jack Russell runs to the end of a rope by the street to greet people that walk by especially if they have a dog. She usually brings her ball so they can play. And she loves to play with other dogs when people that have dogs stop by it's the only time she barks. Soon there will be a chorus of dogs barking it's actually the only time she barks. Although once during a Christmas special she sang along with Beethoven the Saint Bernard. She also knows a dozen tricks but gets too excited to perform them in front of strangers. Unfortunately once when I was stranded out of town for a surprise car repair I was gone for 36 hours. No one's going to believe this but 36 hours later when I open the door she had to go to the bathroom so bad she made it off the porch but not off the sidewalk and urinated but did not urinate in the house for 36 hours. I was sick for a week so she didn't get to go out for anything except to relieve herself. Fortunately she can play soccer by herself in the house so she did and spent much time by the door standing there looking at me and a few times screaming like only a Jack Russell can in a demand to go out and play. She was remarkably easy to train and everything she learned she took very seriously. She doesn't chew anything except her toys. But until she got old never enjoyed being petted because that meant play time. Now she climbs up on the sofa and demands belly rubs. And sometimes when she wants to treat she'll come over and start to do tricks and then demand to be paid on treats immediately. The only normal thing she does is have a hatred of cars and loud noises and hates the 4th of July with a passion.
Omg i love my Jack so much 🥰🥰🥰
All very true for my boy. He's a snuggler, but only when he wants. I get booted if he doesn't want to be touched 😅 or he'll grunt. I ask if he wants cuddles, he'll step back if ge doesn't. He likes swimming, though, we had early intros to it as we live by the ocean. He's very jealous, aloof with strangers. They listen... in the end. He is the love of my life ❤
Now I know my JRT (SPANKY) is messed up. He loves meeting new people, he's not scared of my friends Harley Davidson and he sits and looks at fireworks.
My Jack used the chase fireworks 💥 hahaha she was a great dog 🐶
My Jack loves water and swimming!
Really? That's good
Mine is a Jack Russell x Border Terrier. A really wonderful dog. Clever, healthy, beautiful, fit. A bit too friendly with strangers. Sings loudly to any music or church bells! Never had a fight. Never runs away from us. Very independent.
Very independent. That's good
My Jack Jumps on people who come to visit and won’t stop till they pet him and give him attention. 🤣🤦🏻♀️
I gonna get my jack russel terrier puppy TODAY!!!!
Really?! That's nice! 😍
My JRT with strangers "Here's a sucker dumb enough to give me free people-food."
My Jack Russell doesn't care about fireworks or gun shots, he associates guns with outdoor fun.
He will swim trough open water, hop through swamp mud and lilly pads when he's stalking waterfowl.
He runs along whitetail deer like he's Forest Gump. Will lose his mind if you udder the word chipmunk or squirrel. Will stop any bad behavior if you say the word penitentiary.
He thinks honey bees are tasty treats. He makes noises like a whitetail buck when he's pissed off by breathing out trough his nose.
Chases turkeys in the woods like he's in a pinball machine.
He been known to throw bones and toys at the TV. His favorite show is watching south poll cattle on Greg
Judy's RUclips channel. Tell me, is this considered normal behavior?
Only 1 or 2 of these apply to my JRT
💕
My Jack Russell hates sleeping by himself and sleeps everyday with me. He cries if he doesn't sleep with me and under the blankets with me.
Aww. He is so sweet! 😍
Yup, mine has to be tucked in, head on pillow on her side of the bed. There is no negotiations. You better plan on getting in bed too.
My Jacks list of dislikes are crystal clear: rain, ravens, squirrels, touching her paws, strangers, loud noises & not getting any of my ice cream 😂
That's funny! HAHA
@@PetsAplenty My JRT gets depressed when it’s raining out and snuggles up in our bed with the duvet over him. It’s really cute
Strange, my JR loves strangers, he loves water and he likes to swim
Your dog is great! You can easily bathe him because he loves water ❤️
My female JR wags her tail when a stranger approaches but if the stranger gets too close she lets our a nasty growl which develops into a loud stay away bark. It's quite hilarious. If we're with a bunch of friends who know her we start laughing because we know what's next when some knuckle head thinks the wag is an invitation. She'sfunny
My Jack Russell is deaf so she loves to meet strangers and shes so friendly. She loves to play with my hair in the morning for sure and she has 2 different beds since she LOVES to go under my sheets so she got a bed with a blanket on it. She also chases lights.....i don't know if that's normal for a dog. I never had any of my dogs do that ALSO she is so jealous i can't even pet my other dog. She's nice tho some days just don't stare at her too much she will bark at you. She's going to be 1 year old in 3 months! They also grow so fast!!!
She get jealous HAHA that's so cute! 🥰❤️
Quick question, how many Jacks do you think is a good number
I had no idea but it depends on how many of them you can take care of
@@PetsAplenty thanks 👍
@@i_steal_countrysI never had more than the one. She was 4th dog in the pack and became the leader. Never had issues with her. When at work, she played with the other dogs. Easy dog to have for me. Best dog I ever had.
First one we got about two months ago. Ten year old rescue and super friendly and cuddly too. Loves his belly rubs! Only problem is he barks like crazy at other dogs and sometimes people when out for a walk.
You can change his behavior, just teach him well how to behave around people and other dogs
@@PetsAplenty How, we tried the click method and rewards but no luck
@@goodlight42day inside a cuddle bunny, and outside almost the Tasmanian devil. J/k. Not usually that bad
Huh???? Our doggo Chloe-The-Chlo-Meister-Bestest-Pupper is evvvvvvveryone’s BFF. You come in our house? She is the ultimate welcoming hostess. Live our JRT gal!!
Link is 10 and he’s super healthy. Pretty grumpy old dog lol
8 things my JR hates...
Early shift
Other dogs
Rain
Bath time
Getting brushed
Getting dried
Dental chews
Crows and magpies.
I love my Jackie
I can say another thing Jack Russells don’t seem to like at least mine anyway spending a long time on the computer mine gets very jealous and starts barking as if he’s demanding attention. Gets very annoying when I want to do something like work on my web site
#3 They Hate Meeting Strangers: Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh............not my boys!
Really? That's cute!!
The thunder I'd always say
Don't worry it's only the angels playing bat n.ball.thats all.
HAHA
I have a 2months Jackie Russell can it live with a cat that is about a month old?
1. Empty handed visitors. You better bring food. 2. Baths 3. Dogs 4. Cats 5. Foxes 6. Possums 7. Squirrels 8. Birds
Yup, pretty good list. I would add young children for mine.
Our daughter and husband own a 2yr old female JR. We're asked to care for her on occasional long weekends. She loves our sunroom, but won't nap because she barks at every bird or squirrel that happens to spend time on the yard! She has anxiety and will bite if over tired! How do we make our time together more enjoyable?
Dogs love playing games. Even a simple game of fetch or throwing a Frisbee is sure will make them happy.
Thank you So Much
You're most welcome ❤️
I'm getting a jack Russell in 8 days so I'm getting to know them
I hope we helped you. Thank you for watching our video!
Prepare for being covered in little white hairs. And having lots of cuddles.
I got a girl 4months old and never have before I am so happy about have her ..
Wicket, a Jack/Tibetan Terrier, was 5 yrs old when I welcomed into my home. I bought 2 sweaters for him and Ollie, a Chug, both about the same size. When I put it on Wicket, he Froze. Wouldn't move, wouldn't blink, wouldn't pant, looked like a statue. No sweaters for him! Ollie's got a 'wardrobe' now.
He also freezes when the leash gets wrapped around his legs. Just stops.
My jack russell loves strangers, in fact he cries if they don't play with him
Aaw! Why don't they want to play they are so cute
Our Jack Russell hated moles, snakes, mice and rats.
Other breeds don't like those too 🤢
This confuses the heck out of me, my Dad has a Jack Russell and he's the best dog but none of these things fit except for that he likes attention. He loves being cuddled anytime, all the time. He doesn't mind if he's alone, he sleeps, plays with his toys, sleeps, goes for a walk in the yard, sleeps. No digging, no barking, he's totally chill with it. Loves strangers, will bark to alert if one comes to the door but then just wants them to pat him or play with him. I think that's Dad's reaction to the strangers, they're never there for bad reasons, if Dad was not happy that they were there I think he would behave differently. Likes the water. Dad has a small house and a small garden. He loves it. He doesn't do anything destructive and he's not anxious or bored. He's extremely smart and he loves to play but he's just as happy to lie on you and sleep and be cuddled and he's still young, only just stopped being a pup, it's not like he's super calm because he's old. He's just a cool dog. Probably the best dog I know, love him to bits.
They are really smart!
My Jack loves water. Baths are just baths but swimming is something else. The amount of money I have to pay for fines I've got because she jumped in the water in park where it is forbidden. Now with a knee injury it is the best physiotherapy
I have a 7 month old Jack, also have a 15yr old Shih tzu & a 15yr old ragdoll. It was fine when he was really small, the cat would play with him all the time. But my dog couldn’t tolerate him, still can’t. I love him to pieces but i am concerned that he’s getting a bit aggressive.
My JR mixed 8 mo puppy wants attention when he wants it ~ Period! If I am texting he will put his paw over my phone. 😂
My girl gets sad if we leave to go visit other family for the weekend even though she doesn't stay home alone. She's my shadow and she waits for me on the couch until she hears the door.
For some reason mine likes biting my hand or feet or stuff
I think she does it for fun but it gets quite a struggle when I'm trying to do some work and she keeps interrupting me in middle 😅
Some said to get her a calcium bone but oh well that didnt help guess she loves chewing on my hands too much
I miss my little Simon so much. My heart just breaks to look at these little guys. Simon was white black and tan. He was one of the original breeds of jack Russell.
I'm so sorry for your loss
My Gobe didn't conform to this list much at all. I'm trying to adopt rescue JRT but too many issues family gatherings other dogs kids ect. Any suggestions adopting or puppy without feeding puppy mills? I found Gobe polaroid ad in a gas station small outstanding breeder
Jack russell is one of the best dog breeds to adopt 💕
@@PetsAplenty any sites I can try or small breeders that anyone can recommend
1 - my JRTs dont like to be petted 😂 they are like cats haha
2 - true. They love to be alone BUT when they have open doors to the yard. If i close the door and they cant go out they’ll distroy anything they find.
3 - yup. Hate kids AND hate strangers 😂 they’ll bark….but if they come to the house and stay for some time they will like them.
4 - yes, they are jealous asf. Never met a dog that jealous.
5 - true: porsche with no breaks
6 - idk about that. They are okay with taking baths (not their fav thing to do but with snacks it’s okay). Still didnt take them swimming so idk if they’ll like it. Will find out soon :)
7 - my love thunders and lightings, fireworks etc but they HATE when human make some random sounds (even taking loud deep breath - they’ll attack you) 😂
8 - my love learning new trick. But they dont want to listen if im not having snacks (yet 😅)
I have A jack Russell terrier x Japanese Spitz they are very playfil
My jack russell loved people. HATED children. We adopted him and they estimated him to be 6 or 7 years old. We had him for 9 great years. He was the opposite of every jack I've ever met. He hated toys, activity in general, and being outdoors. His favorite word was, "bed." I miss him so much!
9 years?! He is quite old. That's so cool!
@@PetsAplenty was :'( We had to put him down on my birthday this past year. We adopted him thinking that we were going to give him a good home to live out the last few years of his life. Almost a decade later, he was still around! He was so great.
Yeah the people one is weird. Mine loved meeting adult humans. Did not like young children and not into other dogs that much too.
I second the jealousy trait
jealousy haha
@@PetsAplenty one of my friends had one that visited sometimes, they would play a game where she would get as close to his owner as his Jack got to me. It was a tit for tat competition.
You forgot Postmen.
OK wonderful dog-intelligent, loving, possessive, energetic. But we're having problems. I don't know what to do and don't have thousands of dollars for behaviorists. We have an 8 yo border collie mix, 7 yo jack russell and a 5 yo boxer lab mix. The 2 older ones are getting into fights. They have had 5 fights over about 5 years. Vicious terrifying fights - not just growling - biting. We keep them separate - if they are with me I take turns one loose and one in their crate. The jrt had some ear infections that I thought aggravated the issue. We brought het to the vet and even a vet specialist for allergy and Dermatology. The last two during this summer were not related to an ear infection. What can I do?
When walking my jr i met a woman with a jr cross border collie, absolutely gorgeous dog the size of a border collie but the head and coat of a jack Russell.
