What is a true Jack Russell?
The Jack Russell Terrier is a small terrier that has its origins in fox hunting in England. It is principally white-bodied and smooth, rough or broken-coated and can be any colour. Small tan and white terriers that technically belong to other breeds are sometimes known erroneously as “Jack Russells”.
Do Jack Russell terriers shed?
The Jack Russell terrier comes in three different coat types: smooth, broken and rough (coarse, longer straight hair). All the coats tend to shed.
Do Jack Russells ears go up?
Well, most Jack Russells do have ears that fold forward, and this is really how the ears are supposed to be carried. But some do prick up, it’s true, and some dogs have one ear that folds forward and one that pricks up, or pricks halfway up, or cants off to one side.
How do I get my Jack Russells ears to lay down?
Although there are several “home remedies” that claim to fix this problem, there is really nothing that can be done to get the ears to fall to their normal position (i.e., folded over). Pay careful attention to the dam and sire of the puppy prior to purchase to see if your puppy may develop this condition.
What makes a Jack Russell Terrier A JRTCA breed?
That is the uniqueness of this diverse terrier. The diversity within the JRTCA breed standard is what makes the Jack Russell Terrier suitable for a variety of working and performance abilities – in contrast with the narrow, cosmetic breed standards of many show breeds.
