The dog I´ve chosen to write about is a Jack Russell terrier.
The Jack Russell is a small terrier that has its origins in foxhunting. It is principally white bodied and smooth, rough or broken coated. However, a broken coated dog may have longer hair on the tail or face.
Many people confuses the Jack Russell with the Parson Russell terrier and the Russell terrier, which is a shorter legged, stockier variety of the Jack Russell.
The Jack Russell does not get bigger than 10-15 inches (25-38 cm).
The Jack Russell are an energetic breed really need a high level of exercise, and are relatively free from serious health complaints.
Due to their working nature the Jack Russell, remain much as they were from 200 years ago. The dogs weigh is between 14-18 inches (6.4-8.2 kg)
As I told earlier is the dog originally bred to bolt fox from their dens during hunts, the working Jack Russell Terrier is required to locate quarry in the earth, and then either bolt or hold in peace until they are dug to.
To accomplish this, the dog will not bark but will expect attention to the quarry.
The breed is very healthy with a long lifespan. The Jack Russell can live from 13-16 years given the proper care.
