I’ve never owned a dog but recently my neighbor threw his dog out the door (out of anger), and he scratched my door during the rain. My little guy finally has been in my home for a month taking away some of my depression, made me more active and in general so happy. I’m very sad he got kicked out that way but so glad he is in my home as my first best friend ❤️

[@t.m.i.1245]

I researched this breed after I became a single mom many year's ago, and wanted a house dog. A breed that was compact but with strength and a big dog attitude. Also that had a loving and fun disposition. I found it all in the JRT. My first time raising a JRT and after all of these year's I must admit that my experience has made me very partial to the breed. ❤ Sadly, I very recently had to say goodbye to my sweet old shortie Jack Russell Terrier as he crossed the rainbow bridge. 19 year's of our wonderful, happy journey together. He was an absolute delightful bundle of energy as an 8 week old puppy, when I first braught him into my life. He was quite the comic relief and guardian as an adult dog, then a wonderful snuggle bunny, couch potato and confidant as an senior. I do not regret a single moment, day, week, or year with my furry friend. What a gift of unconditional love a dog gives. His name was "Mojo" and chosen because he completely stole my heart the moment I saw him. What a lucky lady I consider myself to be to have had such a great dog. He was highly intelligent and very sweet. He is most certainly missed, but never forgotten. 🐾

[@Huyle18]

Wow 19 years is a good long time!

[@t.m.i.1245]

@@Huyle18 Indeed. I'm blessed to have had him so long. I'm cinvinced giving him daily glucosamine starting at age 7, helped his mobility for sooo long.

Jacks are a very special dog, I sadly just lost mine. She gave me 11 of the best years of my life. Maggie was her name, she was so smart and jealous. She would pout when she was unable to be between my wife and me. I miss her so much. They definitely make you laugh, Maggie brought so much happiness to us, she was friendly, great with kids, loved to go for a car ride, especially to get ice cream. If you are lucky enough to have a jack, take great care of it, love it, as it will love you back unconditionally. I miss mine very, very much.

I know that jacks are smarter than most people but all dogs have a very good sense of what is going on around them. I have heard many so called experts say dogs don't know what you are saying but only pick up the tone of your voice. I talked to Maggie like I would talk to my wife or kid, she always knew what I was saying and exactly what I meant. Almost like she was reading my mind. NEVER had to tell her anything twice, she remembered everything. I miss her so much. I know I will never find another one with a personality like hers, she always knew just what to do to cheer me up. Like I said, smarter than most people. Thanks again Heather, you take care of yourself and your Jack.

She was very jealous of my wife, I thought it was funny. My wife would argue with the dog and all too often would lose the argument. She was usually a step or two ahead of the wife. Thanks again Heather, it does my heart good to remember how special she truly was. Take care of yourself and your Jack, they continue to get smarter every day. I think that is some of what makes jacks so special. Their little brain is like a sponge absorbing everything they see and hear, and they don't forget, even years later. It's actually pretty amazing.

Oh the life of a JRT parent. Speaking from experience (mum of 3), these little workhorses never run out of energy even after 2 solid hours of running and constant play. Smart from birth and extremely protective of their human family members. Loud and brash, big brains trapped in tiny bodies and lovers of everything rubber, these darlings are going to make you laugh each day. Fondly sleeping on their backs outside or with their backs pressed against a wall, they never cease to amaze. True athletes and bold little friends all around great and longtime family members.

[@MichaelBrown-ny3et]

I’ve been here with 2 JR’s. As long as they still seem interested in life and interact with owner, they will be fine. You should really know your dog by now and if they seem to be ready to go, then it’s probably time to put them down. I can’t explain how you will know if they are ready to go but you will. I had many long moments of welcome attention which is a sign of saying goodbye on their part. Most don’t want to be held long or be bothered. I know it’s hard. I just put my boy down a couple of weeks ago and he was 16.5 yrs and he looked great. He was nearly blind and deaf and I could tell he’d had enough. It tore the heart out of my chest to put him down but the pet can’t suffer due to an owners selfishness. If you have a good vet, they will let you know when it’s time as well. Another note; the quickest way to recover from grieving is to get another one, if circumstances permit it. Once you’ve had a Jack Russell from cradle to grave, no other dog will do. They are a very special breed. Good luck!

My JRT Milo died in March. He was 19 years old! Had him since I was 11 and he was a wicked creature and friend.

I currently have a Jack who's six, turning seven in December. She's adopted and was left at home a lot as a puppy by the previous owner due to his job (which is why he found her a new owner in the first place). She was already an adult when we got her, so she does have some anti-social behaviour. She barks at dogs, bikes and anything that runs past us when we're walking, and sometimes she'll stop and growl at anyone walking behind me. She also enjoys barking when people walk past the garden. Other than that, she's a gem and very gentle and loving to those she's gotten to know. Even though she doesn't do well with dogs while on walks, she's gotten to know my sister's dogs very well and loved playing with them before the lockdown. Her favourite toys are the ones she can swing around. I can confirm that Jacks have very strong jaws since it's almost impossible to get a toy out her mouth once she's got it. She sleeps in a bed next to mine and I feel very safe having her next to me. Definitely not going to get burgled unknowingly with her around.

Mine is 4 years old. he is amazing and never runs out of energy!

[@fredbloggs8369]

I had a Scottish-Jack cross when I was a kid and he was an awesome little dynamo. When he pinned those ears back he could run like the absolute clappers. And even when he was fifteen he was still utterly hyper whenever I came home. A brilliant little fella - but def a handful. I would not necessarily advise a Jack unless you lead an active lifestyle because these guys may look small, but by god do they have some energy.

I’m here because I am getting a jack russell puppy today! 🥰he’s so small and cute! I never had a jack russell before, I only ever had chow’s and chihuahuas, this wonderful lady lives right up the street from me and is giving her puppy away for free for me and my mother, since he was the last one left and all of his siblings have already been sold!

[@TJC_]

I have some tips and tricks: Don’t free feed them and give them meals in a routine (around 2 times a day) Make sure to give them walks daily or maybe give him a dog walker to get a day for you to relax If your jack Russell is crazy (like mine) and barks all day long, put one sheet of paper on the window and he will still be able to see outside Sorry if this doesn’t help, I just tried to tell you what I do with mine He’s been alive for 8 years

[@dogworld744]

Did you get your jacky?

[@tynessiaharrold2335]

My Jack Buddy is one years old and drives me crazy. I'm so in love with this dog and I'm not even a dog person. I got him for my grandchildren and I couldn't help but fall in love...What is he doing to me I'm hooked.

[@SCHEY101]

Haha, my Jack is 9 months and called buddy as well. Go Buddy, go Buddy!

[@troycleek3985]

I've got a Jackaranian and she's mostly Jack Russell. One badass little dog but very loving too.I love little Hazel LOL

[@makyasims801]

My Jack Russell Terrier is spoiled rotten she literally gets her way with anything I just love her ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kamiwhite825]

❤my jack Russell has been in my house for 11 years and my husband recently passed & the dog 🐕 is sad too but he cheers me up when I’m depressed 🙏🏾

[@sherrywilson6109]

We had two Jack Russels, one Parsons and one original Jack Russell. Our male (original Jack Russell)we had to put down at almost 18 and our female (Parsons) is 14 and in great health! Thy are very smart and easy to train!

[@westernwagal9493]

I have a dog that is a Jack Russell Chihuahua mix and she’s a doll

[@Solarmyr]

Easily my favourite breed of dog. They have so much personality!

[@LT.Bubbles]

My jack is so special and unique. Me and my partner rescued her at the age of 2. She isnt active but she sleeps a lot. Yet shes a cuddles and gives us so much attention. Shes a brilliant dog and I love her

[@ianpatin5474]

I have a 6 month old Jack, Im only 11, but she will keep me company till i move out. I hope. I love my Jack named Jackie

[@harrietteburns1237]

Hello, Just wanted to comment on your post. I got my Jack Russell terrier when he was 5weeks old and had him the next 17 years. He was our Boomer Baby. Boomer started acting very strange like a drunk person 1 day. The next day I took him to the vet. He had developed a brain tumor, and we had to have him put down just that fast. My heart still hurts for him. It has been 3 yrs. He was my best friend and the best protector.All the drive-in restaurants new him and all of the people wanted to know where he was. Alot of the people cried.Boomer was the best one of my kids,as a matter of fact my human kids referred to him as there little brother. I am just letting everyone know that J.R.T. are wonderful. If I ever get another baby, I would want a Jack Russell. He was not aggressive unless anyone tried to come near us or came next to his babies (my grand children.) I had him cremated and he sits on my dresser. I talk to him every day.I would not have changed a thing!

[@scarabmango]

DO NOT underestimate these dogs. EVER. They can be found standing over the bodies of MUCH bigger things than you'd think.

[@tobicampbell986]

Really I have kne he is so barky at other dogs but I couldn't imagine him winning againts big dogs but idk

[@sherrywilson6109]

Our cat brought in a rat through the doggie door and Lulu killed it in about two seconds, they are extremely quick and she is definitely a critter getter! Lulu is 14 and going strong!

[@dr.calebrobbins.3177]

Absolutely - big mistake to underestimate them in any capacity !! My little bloke had no qualms biting and holding onto a 6' potential ' mugger ' during an attempted robbery. He sunk his teeth right into this idiot's ankle - I could hear the gristle. The bloke screamed like a wee girl Call you dog off or I'll shoot it (with What?) ... it just made Fergus sink his teeth in al the harder. Even I thought he deserves a VC. !

[@rice_9027]

my little jack russel used to sneak out at night go hunt badgers

[@kayleym.5523]

I adopted a half JRT half blue heeler and she is the light of my life. I have never loved a dog so much. She’s got so much energy! Always running cuddling and being her mommy’s baby

[@DOOM1715]

I got 16 great years out of my Jack Russell Petey, so thankful I had him in my life.

[@Study-sm2gq]

I have a Jack Russel and a Parson terrier. They’re my entire life. I love them so much

[@imbored8696]

My dog diesel, lived for 21 years. I miss him very much same with my jr Tilly. 💞

[@josh3306]

i had a jack russell for nearly 13 years till he died 2 years ago and recently got a jack russell puppy and they are the best dogs in the world. they are so loyal

[@glow3115]

My family has a jack russel terrier, he’s old as he’s turning 13 this year, you can see his grey hairs, he’s very scruffy though his ears never seem to age. His name is Alex and we all love him very much. He’s mischievous and gets distracted easily. I think he’s adorable, and he always makes us happy. Alex can be funny too, and makes us laugh. We’re currently going through a divorce and we just said goodbye my childhood home today, it was heartbreaking and I cried for a long time beforehand. But now at my dad’s house, Alex is able to be more of an indoor dog and he makes us feel better and forget our troubles. I’m only 12 turning 13 and I just wanted to share. 🙂

[@geniesgalleria]

We have had many Jack Russell’s and they all lived to be 17 - 18 years old. We just got a new puppy JRT a couple weeks ago. I’m in love!

[@chaz2wells]

Having had Russells all my life i can't think of another dog with their personality and determination... they are little monsters :-) .... think what they would be like if they were the size of a pit bull.....

[@denisesteel9632]

I just lost my Jack named Jasper and he was half Parsons Jack Russell & half Pit Bull and everybody says he was the biggest Jack Russell they had ever seen!

[@shinsou2080]

I have one and she is amazing. We never taught her to do this but because I have autism, whenever I cry or get angry, she won't leave my side. She isnt confident around other people so we are training her to be a emotional support by socializing her

[@mariaaa371]

This whole video describes my beautiful angel may he Rest In Peace ❤️

[@michaelcornwell557]

I really miss my girl we had her put to sleep because she was in lots of pain is her last days she was 16 years old. Best dog I ever had . I still cry just thinking about her. She was a big part of our family. Best dogs ever

[@philipbarnard497]

My short leg Jack Russel was 21/22 when she passed away :( and was still at that age active and playfull:)

[@maebe7668]

After growing with all outdoor German Shepard's my first indoor dog is a Jack Russell. She has realy taught me the importance of patience but I cant imagine life without her now.

[@MiloMiloMathsDog]

Totally agree! When I got my Jack Russell Terrier, Milo, he was 8 weeks old puppy. He's so little cute puppy and very curious one. So I decided to teach him a lot of tricks and even Maths :)

[@cesartorres6951]

That’s my dog name too

[@josephmonstere]

my childhood best friend, my beautiful jack russel terrier nikki lived to be 13 years young. she passed april 2018 from cancer. we have been thru so much together (i’m getting emotional already writing this) she was always my source of comfort from good days to bad days. i miss her so much every single day. not one day passes where i don’t think about her 💕

[@mattypuddingfingers1217]

My poor JRT got lime disease from a tick when she was about 12 years old and she lost so much energy but even at 14 with lime disease she's still as energetic as my shar-pai. Her favorite thing is playing with kids and waiting for the mailman so she can bark. I think in her mind she's scaring away the mailman because for the next two hours after she's so proud of herself.

[@kimberlystaubin7097]

I had mine for 13 yrs and has crossed the Rainbow bridge this last July He was my best friend I miss him everyday.

[@kobethejackrussel5369]

[@brandonvalentin5399]

We had to put Simba down last March after only 6 weeks short of turning 18. He was suffering these random seizures, blindness for two years and could not seem to hold his meals often towards the end. When I tell you he was "Super Simba", he really was. From the age of 8- 26 (Myself) could not asked to grow up with someone better. I will always misss our hour long daily walks in central park and across Manhattan. Best dog, bigggest heart and lots of energy.
