Jack Russell information
A
sturdy, tough terrier, very much on its toes all the time. The
body length must be in proportion to the height, and it should
present a compact, balanced image, always being in solid, hard
condition. The head should be well balanced and in proportion to
the body. The skull should be flat, of moderate width at the
ears, narrowing to the eyes. There should be a defined stop,
which is the transition area from back skull to muzzle,
but not over pronounced. The length of the muzzle from the nose
to the stop should be slightly shorter than the distance from
the stop to the occiput. The nose should be black. The jaw
should be powerful and well boned with strongly muscled cheeks.
Eyes Should be almond shaped, dark in colour and full of life
and intelligence. The ears are small "V" shaped drop ears
carried forward close to the head and of moderate thickness.
Mouth Strong teeth with the top slightly overlapping the lower.
Two bites are acceptable; level and scissor - scissor being
preferred. The neck is clean and muscular, of good length,
gradually widening at the shoulders. The shoulders should be
sloping and well laid back, fine at points and clearly cut at
the withers. Forelegs should be strong and straight boned with
joints in correct alignment. Elbows hanging perpendicular to the
body and working free of the sides. The chest should be shallow,
narrow and the front legs not too widely apart, giving an
athletic, rather than heavily chested appearance. As a guide
only, the chest should be small enough to be easily spanned
behind the shoulders, by average sized hands, when the terrier
is in a fit, working condition. The back should be strong,
straight and, in comparison to the height of the terrier, give a
balanced image. The loin should be slightly arched. The
hindquarters should be strong and muscular, well put together
with good angulations and bend of stifle, giving plenty of drive
and propulsion. Looking from behind, the hocks must be straight.
The feet are round, hard padded, wide, of cat-like appearance,
neither turning in nor out. The tail should be set rather high,
carried gaily and in proportion to body length, usually about
four inches long, providing a good hand-hold. The coat is
smooth, without being so sparse as not to provide a certain
amount of protection from the elements and undergrowth. Rough or
broken coated, without being woolly. Colours, white should
predominate (i.e., must be more than 51% white) with tan, black,
or brown markings. Brindle markings are unacceptable. Gait
movement should be free, lively, well coordinated with straight
action in front and behind. Old scars or injuries, the result of
work or accident, should not be allowed to prejudice a terrier's
chance in the show ring unless they interfere with its movement
or with its utility for work or stud.
An Irish-type called
Jack Russell Shortys have shorter legs than the English-type.
Temperament
The Jack Russell Terrier is a cheerful, merry, devoted, and
loving dog. Spirited and obedient, yet absolutely fearless.
Careful and amusing, he enjoys games and playing with toys.
Stable Jack's are friendly and generally kind to children.
Children should be taught not to tease or hit the dog. They are
intelligent, and if you let them take an inch, they can become
wilful and determined to take a mile. It is paramount that you
are this dogs pack leader. He needs to be given rules to follow,
and limitations as to what he is and is not allowed to do. Do
not let this little dog fall into Small Dog Syndrome, where he
believes he is pack leader to all humans. This is where varying
degrees of behaviour problems will arise, including, but not
limited to guarding, snapping, separation anxiety, and obsessive
barking. They are highly trainable, able to perform impressive
tricks. They have been used on TV and in the movies. However, if
you do not show authority towards the dog , they can be
difficult to train. They need a firm, experienced trainer.
Jacks who have been allowed to take over can be aggressive with
other dogs. Some have killed or been killed in dog fights. Be
sure to socialize the Jack. They have strong hunting instincts
(stronger than your average terrier) and should not be trusted
with other small animals. This hunting dog likes to chase,
explore, bark and dig. Only let them off lead if they are well
trained or in a safe area. Will get restless and destructive if
they do not receive enough exercise and activities to occupy
their keen minds. Jack Russell's climb, which means they can
climb over a fence, they also jump. A Jack that stands 12 inches
high can easily jump five feet. JRTs are not the breed for a
inexperienced dog owner. The owner needs to be as strong-willed
as they are, or this little guy will take over. With the right
owner the Jack can really excel, but is not recommended for
those who do not understand what it means to be a dogs true pack
leader. Jacks who are mentally stable, with all of their canine
instincts met, will not display these negative behaviours. They
are not traits of the Jack Russell, but rather human brought on
behaviours, which are a result of inefficient leadership, along
with a lack of mental and physical stimulation. They will thrive
with a job to do. The Jack Russell Terrier must present a
lively, active and alert appearance. It should impress with its
fearless and happy disposition. It should be remembered that the
Jack Russell is a working terrier and should retain these
instincts. Nervousness, cowardice or over-aggressiveness should
be discouraged and it should always appear confident.
Size
Height: 10-15 inches (25-38 cm)
Weight: 14-18 pounds (6-8 kg)
Needs
The Jack
Russell Terrier is a pleasant companion when it is sufficiently
exercised; however if they do not get enough, they may become a
nuisance. They need to be taken on a long, daily, brisk walk. In
addition, he will be in his glory with space to run, hunt and
play.
If the
Jack is left alone during the day be it in an apartment or a
house, they should be well exercised before the human leaves for
work by taking them on a long pack walk or jog, and then taken
out again when they return home.
The Jack Russell Terrier will
do okay in an apartment if they are sufficiently exercised. They
are very active indoors and will do best with at least an
average-sized yard.
Grooming
All coat types are easy to
groom. Comb and brush regularly with a firm bristle brush, and
bathe only when necessary. To show, owners must strip the coat.
Like the rough coat, the broken coated Jack needs to be stripped
out also.

Russell Origins
The breed
was named after a clergyman named Rev. John Russell. They were
used as a small game hunting dog particularly for red fox,
digging the quarry out of its den in the mid-1800s. On English
hunts, the dogs needed to be long-legged enough to keep up with
the hounds. Breeders had emphasized its working ability, so the
standard was very broad, allowing a wide range of accepted body
types. Not happy with this wide variety of working type Jacks,
as of April 1st 2003 the Jack Russell Terrier Association of
America, was changed to the Parson Russell Terrier Association
of America. The working types remained Jack Russell's while the
American show types became known as the Parson Russell
Terrier. Some of the Jack Russell's
talents include: hunting, tracking, agility, and performing
tricks.
