Jack Russell Puppies
Jack Russell terriers were originally bred for fox hunting, and as a result they have a rich heritage of good health, strength, and profound intelligence. Jack Russells were originally selected based on chest-size, as this is the most important factor in determining whether the dog could enter a burrow during the hunt. Averaging around 14 pounds, the dogs are small but strong and confident.
Jack Russell tails are typically docked to the length of a hand grip, both for the health of the dog and for hunting purposes. Jack Russells are working dogs, and can often be vocal and energetic; for this reason, coupled with their very high intelligence, Jack Russells are very popular as pets.
These terriers are problem-solving, curious, and very smart; as a result they require proper training and attentive ownership in order to keep their minds active and discourage irrational behaviour. For an owner that has performed cursory research on owning a Jack Russell, it can prove to be one of the most rewarding pets possible.
