This is a space designed to show off your Jack, or your terrier mix. We all know that Jacks are more of a dog type than anything of specific pedigree.
The little dogs were bred to work in the fields, flushing rodents, keeping up with horses on a fox hunt, and all at around 15 pounds!
Also feel free to present any queries you have about Jacks and hopefully one of us will have the knowledge to help, or at least point you in the right direction. As we all know, sometimes JRTs have some peculiar qualities, and unique problems that other owners may not be acquainted with.

Found a ball, chased a squirrel up a tree, came home and convinced mom to give me some human food. A pretty good morning!
This is Louie! Jack Russel x pug! He is a good boy
And still a complete puppy spirit.
We just found out she has cataracts, so we are looking for a decent light to attach to the front to help her at night. Any suggestions?
Hey guys! I have a super active 2yo JRT. I’ve got the physical activity covered but just wondering if you all have any games or activities you do for mental stimulation? It’s getting dark and chilly now so I’m looking for things to do in the evening. Thanks!

Hi everyone! My little man is going to be turning 5 months old this month and I wanted to ask you all some questions. Before we get started, this is my second JRT, he is scheduled to be neutered next month, and he is the only dog in the house.
He is in the trenches of teething atm and being so mouthy with everything. He’s showing little interests in all his toys (both soft and hard) and actively wants to bite/chew/nibble on me. Are there any fixes you have to correct the behavior? I’ve been trying to redirect him onto something else and majority of the time he does not care in the slightest. He will immediately go for my hand or arm. Not drawing blood on me, but definitely hurts as you can imagine.
Potty training is going great BUT he absolutely despises his harness. I’ve tried high value treats, leaving it around him while he goes about his activities, sniff tests, got a whole new harness thinking the original was uncomfortable, etc. I live in the country and do not trust him being attached to me by a collar. It’s been months and nothing seems to fix the issue. I would love to hear more suggestions.
Appreciate you all!!! 🐶🦴🖤
