Seems like a Jack Russel, yes. A lot of energy in those doggos
A coworker is a professional trainer of Jack Russel terriers. When properly trained they are really funny dogs, but they need A LOT of activity to be happy
Hunting breed made for killing small mammals. Not meant to be a companion dog. Don’t get one unless you plan on hunting something or have a rodent problem. There’s far better companion dogs or dogs suited for training various tasks. They are stubborn, hard to train and not to be trusted around other small animals or children. Too see what’s the natural state of a jack russel terrier look up ‘Ratting’ videos. That’s what they want to do and how much of a prey drive they have. It’s a working dog.
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.
