[Closed] Anyone have a Jack Russell?

Yes. They're bloody ace, ours used to do 15-20 miles no worries. He loves sleeping in tents is friendly and everyone loves him. He is 15 or 16 now and can only manage a brief stroll on the beach and then he likes to sleep and have cuddles.

My JR would have got bored after 10 mins, sacked it in and called a taxi home. Could run for miles to track down a bitch on heat and had a taste for cider and chicken tikka masala.

I've got three. They run all day until they drop. Brilliant dogs.

Know a few some are nice some are bloody horrible.

I've a patterdale which is a jacks cousin and she's not really interested. Tennis balls however...

My Mum has one. I truly believe he would play 'fetch' for the entire day.

Flo, a proper unreconstituted Queen Bitch Jack Russell.
Won't even get out of bed, never mind run, unless it involves a bit of hunting, killing or eating. Very quick over a yard or two, but prefers kipping in a sunny patch.
Loves people. Hates everything else.

Never managed to tire out my girlfriends parsons Jack Russell yet. He'd make a good trail dog if I could train him to follow me instead of disappear for upto 10 mins at a time whenever he picks up a deer/rabbit/horse/badger scent 😆

Suppose its just his hunting instincts taking over. He doesn't like d/h mtb'ers either for some reason 😳

The in-laws have a Jack Russell, she's great, loves tennis balls or chasing a laser pointer dot!

get a parsons jack russell, you'll appreciate the longer legs if its for trail dog duties. as with all itelligent dogs, keep it busy or it'll be bored and mischievous

don't get one of those silly ones with the short legs unless you intend to go rabbiting with it

pic taken from facebook so hope it works. but yes ..... as the others have said, theyre ace. colin will chase and return the tennis ball day if youve got the time to keep throwing it. lovely natured little lad.

Mine can run for a couple of hours when we're out on bikes. Need to pause on long downhills for him to catch up though.

Quick snap of Meg,
