The Jack Russell

The Jack Russell is a small breed of dog that is a member of the Terrier typing. The Jack Russell is also commonly known by its initials, 'JRT, ' or simply as a 'Jack.' The Jack Russell was originally developed for the purpose of hunting foxes. The breed was designed to be athletic enough to be able to chase and intimidate their quarry while also having an even unaggressive temperament, which keeps it from attacking the fox and effectively ending the hunt. Both the Jack Russell and the Fox Terrier descend from the same group of dogs owned by Reverend Jack Russell in 1795. Originally Jack Russell's with white coat colorations were favored due to the fact that there was a need to be able to distinguish between the dog and their prey. Due to the fact that the Jack Russell has a working background, the breed has hardly changed over the last 200 years. The breed still has a predominately white coat with black, brown or tan markings. The Jack Russell has three potential coat types: rough, smooth and broken (which is a combination of the rough and smooth coats). In modern times the breed is still commonly used for working purposes - however it is more commonly used for vermin control purposes rather than sporting/hunting purposes. The Jack Russell is commonly used to trap vermin, such as foxes and groundhogs, in their dens while their owners dig to the vermin. The temperament of dogs is normally affected by the following factors: individual personality, heredity, training and socialization. It is therefore important to make sure that you meet the puppy's mother before purchasing a Jack Russell. It is also important to make sure to thoroughly socialize your Jack Russell with strangers, children and other animals during its puppyhood. Generally speaking, the Jack Russell is a highly intelligent, friendly and energetic breed. They make a good pet for households with an active lifestyle. It is important to note that the Jack Russell was developed for hunting purposes and therefore has a high prey drive. The Jack Russell will commonly pursue smaller animals, such as squirrels or cats, which can make it an unsuitable pet for household with multiple animals. It is also important to note that as a working breed, the Jack Russell has a high amount of energy which needs to be expended. If the Jack Russell has a buildup of energy it is likely to develop destructive behaviors due to boredom or hyperactivity. Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet.
