The Jack Russell Terrier is a small companion dog. Let's look at who the Jack Russell Terrier is, a description of the breed, character and photo of the pet. He can hunt with other dogs. When a wild animal runs into a hole, the dog easily drives it out and sends it to its owner. Its origins begin in Great Britain.
Brief characteristics of the breed Amenable to training:
Gets along with animals:
Dirt in the apartment:

Immunity and health:
Attachment to the owner:
The main task was to breed a hardy dog. Therefore, the animals did not have an attractive appearance. They had a short body, a thick neck, and a wide head. Then dog breeders decided to participate in exhibitions with them. The appearance has changed, but the hunting skills have become a little worse.
History of the origin of the Jack Russell Terrier
The dogs appeared thanks to a pastor from England, Jack Russell, who lived in Devonshire. He was engaged in horse hunting and breeding fox terriers. Created the first description of the breed. At exhibitions his opinion was very highly regarded.
The priest bred a special burrowing dog to help in fox hunting. Fox terriers were mixed with border terriers, small bull terriers, and Lakeland terriers. After his death, the work continued, and the resulting animals became known as “Pastor Jack Russell Terriers.”
Long-legged and short-legged representatives appeared. The former had a height of more than 30 cm, the latter – up to 28 cm. The long-legged ones were very popular, they were called Parson Russell Terriers. Short-legged dogs (Jack Russell Terriers) were not so in demand.
Australia is the country of development of the dog breed. Here their first club was formed, where the standard was fixed. It became established at the global level in 2001.
The first representatives were brought to Russia in 1999 from the USA. A couple of years later, offspring appeared and breeding began. The club was formed in 2003, then they organized the first national exhibition. Ten Parson Russells and eighteen Jack Russells were present.
Currently, they cannot be crossed, so the danger of buying one breed instead of another has been significantly reduced. Now these dogs are among the five most popular terriers in Russia.
Jack Russell Terrier: who does not tolerate loneliness
This dog was originally created for burrow hunting, but today the vast majority of people perceive it as a companion dog. A significant role in this was played by the once incredibly popular Hollywood comedy “The Mask” with Jim Carrey, where the main character had just such a dog - loyal and selfless. Let me introduce you to the Jack Russell Terrier, or simply Jack Russell, a recognizable dog named after its first owner.

NAMES AND NAMES FOR DOGS
Yes, yes, “Jack Russell” is nothing more than the first and last name of the person who created this breed. It was the English priest John (Jack) Russell who set out to breed the ideal terrier for burrow hunting. He is considered one of the founders of the Kennel Club of Kennel Breeders, who were involved in breeding Fox Terriers. It was on the basis of the Fox Terrier that a new breed was created - work on it continued until the 20th century, and the final standard was recognized only in the 21st century, even receiving several clarifying branches. But today we will talk specifically about the Jack Russell Terrier, which his owner Anna @supermax_jrt

- An, hello! Introduce us to your boyfriend.
- Hello! This is Max, the Jack Russell Terrier. Max is two and a half years old.

- Max, very nice! How did you fall into the hands of such a mistress? From your silence, I guess that you are giving the right to vote to Anya. Anh, can you help Max?
- Certainly! )) I wanted a dog for a very long time, but my husband did not dare to take such an important step for a long time. And now, it’s done! All that remains is to decide on the breed. I wanted to get a beagle, but my husband agreed only to a Jack Russell, since this breed is more compact. There was no dispute about the gender of the dog - both wanted a girl. We found it and went to choose. When we got to the place, we were greeted by a whole bunch of little fluffy balls - choose anyone! Only one puppy continued to calmly sleep on the sidelines. As you understand, the choice fell on him, although before that we talked with each child. This was a very unexpected decision for all of us, because, firstly, the puppy did not show any interest in us, and secondly, it was a boy! But intuition in such matters is especially important. And this time she didn't let me down.

- Sure?
- Naturally, time has proven me right! Today Max is a full-fledged member of our family, the third child (we have two of our own). He always wants to be the center of attention and is very worried when not enough time is given to him - he is jealous, of course. But this jealousy is never aggressive, aggression is definitely not about Max. The worst punishment for our pet is loneliness, which he really endures very painfully. Fortunately, such moments in his life can be counted on one hand. And the most desired reward for Max is a walk. He can spend an eternity on the street: he runs incredibly fast, jumps well and generally feels like a fish in water.

“So this is exactly what you were looking for and expecting.” But let’s still try to maintain objectivity and look at this breed from different angles. Can you remember any difficulties or problems in more than two years? Perhaps in care or health.
— I can’t point out any difficulties in care - this breed does not require special care. Jack Russells are compact, have short hair and are generally unpretentious in everyday life. The only thing I would like to highlight separately is the high-quality walking of the animal. I have already mentioned Max’s incredible activity and his love for walks. This is not just a character trait, but also a feature of this breed. The Jack Russell will use up all the energy that is not wasted on the street at home, and this can result in unforeseen consequences. But if the walk is a success, he will gladly fall asleep, restoring his strength for new adventures.

As for health, everything doesn’t look so good here. Over the course of two years, we were pretty worried about Max. While still a puppy, he had an attack of pancreatitis - the veterinary clinic made the wrong diagnosis, and we almost lost our beloved pet. Fortunately, they changed the medical facility in time, where they managed to save the dog. Since then, he spent a year and a half on a special medicinal gastro-food. And only now are we beginning to carefully transfer Max to regular holistic food. I really hope everything works out for us!

“I don’t even doubt it; caring owners always succeed.” Besides Max, do you have any other animals in your family?
— Now Max is the only pet in our family. While still a puppy, he found an elderly and very capricious Scottish Fold cat with us. Unfortunately, they never got along in character, although the Jack Russell really wanted to be friends, so now we don’t risk conducting such experiments. However, the main reason is the lack of space. If we lived in a private house with a vast local area, we would definitely get ourselves another dog, I love them very much.

- I sincerely wish that your dream comes true. But I believe that even now your life is quite busy, especially in the company of a Jack Russell.
- And do not say! So one day I went for a walk with the children, this time without Max. I return home, he meets us - everything is as usual. I bring the baby into the house, turn around - there is no dog! Escaped! This was both terrible and unexpected, because Max had never left the apartment without asking before. He hates climbing stairs. And we live on the tenth floor! Probably, the dog noticed the absence of his husband, thought that he had lingered somewhere and ran to look for him. I literally gave up - I had no idea where an active dog could go, not used to walking outside alone. Surely Max was very scared, left without owners in an unfamiliar environment. The nightmare ended twenty minutes later when my phone rang. The woman who Max accidentally bumped into called. We were helped out by the address tag attached to the collar, thanks to it we were able to get out quickly. Therefore, today I advise every owner - do not remove the address tags from the collar even at home, because it is completely unknown what can happen at any moment!
