I'd never choose one as a dog for me,if it showed up i'd take one in but they jsut are not for me. But I have met a few I have just loved. A frineds frined had a wiry haired one who ran circles around you untill you picked him up by the tail adn swung him around on this rug. He was a strange dog. He herded their chickens too. But all the others I hav emet and not liked were also horribly bred, untrained dogs so that could have a lot to do with it.
Jack Russell Terriers
- Thread starter Gallien Jacks
- Start date
i'm a huge terrier fan and jacks are by far my favorite terrier breed.
the only reason i don't have one right now is that i wanted to save a dog from the pound and it happened to be quigley who stole my heart. he's really an oversized JRT tho
, all terrier all the time, the same activity level and all.
it's just too bad that he's too large for all the traditional terrier sports. i'm looking to get a jack for performance events in the future tho.

Not the breed for me, that's for sure. I'm not a terrier person at all, but maybe that's because the terriers that come to daycare live up to the "terror" part of their name...they can play all day long, but won't let anyone else. All the dog-dog bites I've had to deal with have been instigated and dealt by terriers.
I'm with Jynx: I'll stick to my herding breeds.

I"ll have to say, that I used to judge the Lurer coursing for the pup Jacks and they are an adorable breed to watch, but to own one, it definately takes a special person for that. I have met some really fabulously trained Jacks, and then I have met some horribly trained little guys, so I'm sort of on the fence about the breed. I know I could never own one though. lol
but personally, I love the herding/working group of dogs way too much

Jack russell terriers are so sweet!
I know 2 people, who have this fantastic pupils.
I love manchester terrier too. But I don't see topic about this dogs.
Moreover I looked after very nice manchester. It was female.
At the beginning I didn't like terriers, but when I met one of them, I changed my opinion

One of my dogs is part JRT (other half is Maltese, but he's just like a bigger version of a JRT) and he was SUCH a hyper puppy. He is nearly 10 years old and still has bundles of energy at times... and still manages to jump up and down! I have to say, he is an extremely smart dog, which is why he is stubborn at times. He is excellent on the lead and never pulls, is good at 'heeling' and when he's off the lead he never runs onto the road.
I work at a dog grooming salon and last week I was *trying* to brush a JRT but she kept bouncing around the place and wouldn't stay still, all she wanted to do was to play with me!
Jack Russells do have heaps of energy, but they have great personalities.
