99% of Jack Russell Terrier Owners Don't Know This

[@dozergyp]

We had a jack Russell called “Gyp” She lived till the age of 19 years, Still very much missed. ❤

[@uncletoby-]

I have personally visited and paid my respects at Parson John Russell’s grave in Barnstable, England.

[@TonyBurke100]

My female was rescued and passed on to me right from the start we connected, she's incredibly loyal and protective also she's obedient. She likes to chase rats but couldn't catch one to save her life. She has caught 2 low flying birds she just jumped up and brought them down luckily she let them go when told. I've had dogs all of my life (I'm 70) and she's the best.

As a former owner big male dogs like German shepherd and malinois, we adopted/rescued a young female puppy JRT about 3 years ago. I can tell you this, she’s the best dog and companion that I ever have. I even put in my will if so happens that I died before her, let her see my dead body because they can sense death. I don’t want her to feel that I have abandoned her.❤

I have 50:years experience of Jack russel ownership . When buying look at both parents personality. Temperament is important. Socialising the pup from a very young age is vital . Unsociable people have unsociable dogs . This breed is very active and need to socialise with people and dogs all the time . An apartment is not good for these dogs . Once one has owned a jack russel you are hooked . Inquisitive and fun loving . It’s bad owners and never bad dogs . Easy to train . Our jackys were house trained in a less than 14 days . These dogs enrich peoples lives . Charismatic and protective . King Charles has two which makes them royal as well . 🤣🤣🤣. An incomparable breed .

[@Jan-iq5sm]

Give a dog love and devotion and they return it tenfold . People that moan, must look to themselves first . You will find a lot of couch potatoes and selfish amongst them .

[@paulkruger1945]

They are, in my opinion, the best dogs ever! I VERY unfortunately had to have my Jack Russell put down this last Feb (2024) after just short of 16 years - I'm going on 88y.o. & have NEVER cried as much in my entire life - have lived on my own for the past 27 years - what a friend!

[@robertcampbell9992]

My lucky is a parson jack, 15 and going strong. Chill and constant companion.

[@Jan-iq5sm]

I’m shocked at the comments. We have our 3rd jack russel . We are in our 70 s . These super intelligent, loyal ,people loving and dog loving animals are unbeatable. Full of fun , fearless , manipulative , agile , quick learning , entertaining, amazing dogs , are nothing but the best . All other dogs seem bland in comparison. Our Jackie is with a group of dogs in a park every afternoon , and has always been the star of the show . Some people should not be dog owners . They are not suitable or committed enough . Lazy or narcissistic,owners need not apply . Everyday I am thankful for FREDDY . HE Is. 2 years old , and has traveled with us everywhere. Hotels , restaurants etcetc no problems ever . All 3 have been delightful. Makes friends everywhere and extremely sociable. Omg 😱 we worship the ground his lordship , urinates on .

[@nicoobrowner]

You have a beautiful relationship with your dog. ❤ They are wonderful companions. With all due respect, idolizing an animal as lord over you, cannot be healthy though.

[@louisavanderwesthuizen8702]

I fully agree... Patsy is my 4yh JRT Love her to pliecrs

[@mgasparovamgp]

Yes, it all depends on the owner. I had an amazing JRT Bobby. He came from a dog shelter and we were healing his previous traumas from his ex-owner. Time flew and he became marvellous friend. I miss him so much.. Love can fix everything.

[@Steve-q6l4v]

I'll take him.

[@ReginaWomble]

😂

[@ianwinton7692]

My jack passed away in January this year he was over 18 years, his name was Stimpy he was my little boy, l had him from 6 weeks old. He never had a lead, he was at my side 7-24, he was so fit right up to his death, sadly he had a stroke, a blood vessel burst in his brain. I cry every day, l had him cremated and put in a little box with his name on top. Every morning I come into the front room l always say hi Stimp alright mate which l always did when he was alive. I miss him so much ❤❤❤.

[@reinokarvinen8845]

our jack like to tease our cat. but when the claws coming out you hear a whimper

[@uncletoby-]

So many things here that Jack Russell Terrier pet parents don’t know because they’re just not true Also, too many clips in here of other breeds that just have similar coloring.

[@michaelmcfadden4397]

Number 1 if you want a dog which will sit and roll and walk at your heel, you bought the wrong dog. They need lots of exercise and stimulation and you cannot be scared of or offended by their aggression or they will control you and potentially make a mess of your home.

[@bennuballbags2]

Best breed you will ever find, so loyal and entertaining. I will only ever own JRTs, cant believe that they scored so low on the intelligence level.....I think that was crap. Cheeko, my older dog is so smart I swear he understands what I say and even understands my body language. I love my to dogs so much, they are my children.

[@deliaellarma1325]

The smartest loving loyal dog, won't trade Coco for anything else.

[@carlosmendez1423]

My Russel Terrier is only two months old, he understands all the commands given to him ! Except “ don’t pee inside the house , go outside ! He goes out but holds his pee until he is back inside !

[@simphiwek-ig7uy]

My jack i reckon his mix bred cos his all brown wth white line under neck, paws still growing the white color thou... Will soon take him to vet cos i think his 2months old now bt look muscular

[@lisawells9905]

Very stubborn breed but want to please their people. Just glad I'm just as stubborn. We make a great team. We have each other's backs, protect each other.

[@rfreeman5012]

I have the perfect dog, 3/4 rat terrier 1/4 jack Russell. She is awesome, can chill out but has the best traits of the Russell.

[@johnf.johnson424]

Why no mention of Milo in "The Mask" starring Jim Carrey?

[@15halerobert]

The biggest problem with Jacks is that they all think they are German Shepherds

[@Steve-q6l4v]

More like King Kong

[@robertcaudill2544]

Isn't that true! My JRT is so stupendously fearless. She once ran up to a pretty large Pit Bull, grabbed it's lower lip with her mouth and wouldn't let go. The Pit was so surprised and shocked by her aggression, it had no idea what to do, luckily so, cuz that pit could have killed her effortlessly with one crunch of its jaw around her little neck. But our dog was acting like she was the biggest badass ever. Luckily friends owned the pet, so we avoided a lawsuit!

[@jtpalooki7757]

The biggest problem with most Jacks is that they have the wrong owner! Alpha dogs need Alpha owners or else you wind up with a frustrated doggy delinquent!

[@ephraimcamacho9600]

We love jackrussels ❤❤❤ we have our second one .Amazing dogs!

[@frankkoolosko4255]

My neighbors 12 year old half Chihuahua have Jack Russell terrier acts like a puppy. My neighbor had a stroke and we had her dog for three months. There couldn’t be a more perfect dog.

[@90sDRgirl]

[@chicagogarza2012]

My boy Jax was awesome.. miss my boy

[@Lana-or5dz]

Where can I adopt a Jack Russell? I have not came across a lot of Jack Russells in California. I want one.

[@c.m.walter4129]

Hickory Hills Jacks in Fairfield, iowa.. you can't go wrong to buy one from them ...the dogs all have great personalities..

[@Jessica-ul6me]

My Abby girl is my shadow. We do everything together. She loved my kitty max before he passed but he was in the house first and she associated him with dinner time since I fed them both "kitty meats."

[@Rochelle_Chi-Chi_Bernardino]

I didn't know the name of this breed before. I just called them "Milo", the dog from the movie "The Mask", starring Jim Carrey." 🐶🐶🐶

[@viperstorm4123]

A fact you missed: a Jack Russell with testicles will hump your leg

[@lynnedunn1541]

Uou should find another home for this Dog ASAP Doesn't sound like you should Own a JRT at all.!!!

[@sharonsteele8915]

My pup is all brown with white heart shape around his face and some white on his chest, is laid back but doesnt like other animals or people so not sure if he is a jack russell or a rat terrier and mixed with Chihuahua

[@Semprini537]

I have a Jackie female and she made babies with her Parson boyfriend. His name is LEMMY. Never a dull moment with them

[@koltybam3800]

What are some dog breeds that can win in a fight against a Jack Russell, when that small dog turns aggressive? 😔 😞 😮‍💨 🤔 🧐

[@mariarin9222]

You Might Not Be Doing Something Right

[@SRTifiable]

84th in Obedience and Working Intelligence. But really…it’s specifically the obedience part 😂 And they will also fight a tiger for their human.

[@samking5170]

my miniature jack Russell is only 10 pounds but he thinks he's a biggest dog in the world 😁

[@attila2946]

My Jack Russell weighs 13 kgs.

[@kingkracker1998]

glad my jack isn't a digger

[@Frank9532]

Yeah sure agressive, but if a sub 20 pound little dog makes you scared, you're better of with a goldfish hahaha I love mine, 11 years old and counting!

[@Dwarister]

you speak too fast

[@darrenmeears3912]

A PROPER JRT SHOULD BE LEAST 60% WHITE 👌🤔

[@MrJonathandcrow]

I pulled My Jack Out Of Her Litter She Was Attackin Her Siblings She Rules The Roost Here Very Aggressive She's Half The Size Of My Other Jacks ,

[@johncradick1265]

Woof...
