| 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! |

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. |

Jack Russell Terrier
Breed Temperament: |
| 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 family cat. It may try to be dominant
over other dogs, regardless of size.

Terrier Breed Exercise Requirements: |
| This breed has a seemingly inexhaustible
supply of energy. It must be given many
opportunities to burn it off. It needs to
run and play, and enjoys agility skills and
playing catch. Digging is among its favorite
activities. It is happiest on a farm or a
home with a large backyard where it can
frolic. |
