The problem is that most owners don’t train their dogs and a JRT is not a good option for someone just looking for a friendly dog to have at home despite looking like one. There’s a reason you can often find one at a shelter given up, very few people are prepared for that much energy and killer instinct. It’s like the honey badger of small dogs.
This is all true, however my dog is half jack Russell half Yorkie and I swear to God this is the perfect dog breed. Never barks,nips,chases cats,shows any sign of aggression. Also is way cuter than any full breed Russell or Yorkie lol. I might be a little biased but I promise if you ever come across a Yorkie/Russell mix get em. You won't regret.
