Description: The Jack Russell Terrier is a small but highly energetic breed with a strong prey drive and a lively, expressive face. It features a compact, athletic body with either a smooth or broken coat, and often displays a white coat with tan or black markings.
Characteristics: Typically weighing between 6 to 8 kilograms, Jack Russells are muscular and agile with a weatherproof coat that requires minimal grooming. Their sturdy build supports their intense activity levels and agility.
Lifestyle: Jack Russell Terriers are known for their vitality and longevity, commonly living 13 to 16 years when properly exercised and stimulate.
Temperament: Fearless, intelligent, and enthusiastic, Jack Russells require active homes with plenty of physical and mental stimulation. They do best with owners who can match their intensity and provide consistent training. While affectionate and playful, they may not always be tolerant of small children or other pets without early socialisation.
