About the Jack Russell Terrier
The Jack Russell Terrier is a small dog breed originating in England. Adult dogs typically weigh 13 to 17 pounds and live 13 to 16 years. The breed is described as fearless, energetic, prey-driven, intelligent.
Very active households with secure fencing that can give the breed daily vigorous exercise and a job. Famously tireless. Sedentary or apartment homes, families with very young kids, or homes with free-roaming small pets.
Adult Jack Russell Terriers need about 60 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 75 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
