THE FACTS
Jack Russell Terriers grow to 10-12in (25-30cm) in height.
They are active dogs so they need some form of exercise
– walks or playing with the owners.
Obedience training and socialisation are important for
a happy, healthy JRT.
All JRTs need regular brushing to help with shedding.
They shed all year round.
Broken and rough coated dogs also need their
coats ‘stripped’ regularly to keep the coat harsh
and water proof. (Ask your puppy’s breeder to show
you this grooming technique).
Jack Russell Terriers need a family that will spend
plenty of time with their active, little dog.
They are people-orientated.
They are suited to older children, but can happily live with
young children so long as they are always supervised
together to prevent them from hurting one another.
Jack Russell Terriers participate in Conformation
(Dog Shows), Obedience, Agility, Racing,
and Earthdog. The more activities, the better for your dog!
Train, train and more training for a well-adjusted dog.
