Jack Russell Terrier Dog Info!

The Jack Russell Terrier was used in the south of England in the 1800’s to work in European red fox hunts. This terrier was named for the Reverend John Russell because his terriers followed the hounds and caused the foxes to bolt from their dens so the hunt could continue.

The Jack Russell Terrier is a medium sized dog alert and confident in statue.

 

What does a Jack Russell Terrier look like?

Above Bobby - His story "Someone abandoned Bobby and it took the dog catcher some weeks to catch him. When we got him from the kennels he was a little ball of fury he had been badly beaten and hated everyone.  He bit the entire family growled when you went near him and scared us all to death.  Three years on he is a much loved spoiled but still tough little character he loves to be cuddled and I love to cuddle him, after all he has been through he deserves to be a little spoiled.  The vet still wont examine him without us giving a little dog sedative.   We think he is around 4 or 5 years old. Cute isn't he."
