ALL ABOUT JACK RUSSELL TERRIER: THE TENACIOUS TERRIER 

Watching Jack Russell videos on RU-vid while my 10 years old jack Russell sleeping in your arms is what I call my happy place

I love how she talks about breeding not for show but for functionality - breeding out health issues as well. We've mutated some dog breeds to the point where they can't even reproduce naturally.

An amazing breed! My first JRT lived till 18 years old. I now have a 5 month old JRT puppy. Once you go Jack you never go back lol

Had these dogs as a kid . they have an unreal amount of energy.

Thé highlight of my day is coming home from a slog on a building site and my Jack Russel going bonkers when she sees me! They truly are the best dogs.

My jack russell is almost 15 now, she's the best dog I've ever had!!

I really like the way she talk about the functionality of the dogs, every dog breed deserves a breeder like her

My Jack Russell is everything you said they are. Full on, lovable, loyal. Thinks he is 6 feet tall and can smell a rat from a mile away. My best friend

Best breed out there. Jack's are the master dog race. I couldn't imagine life without at least one Jack in it.

This is probably the best Russell judge ever ,she taught me all I know her and her sadly late husband Bob ,they bred them ,showed them and both have them have judged all over the world . I was so happy to come across this video

Smart, healthy, strong, compact, loving, protective, loyal, courageous, clever...AND FUNNY.....discribes the Jack Russell Terrier...the best dog I have ever owned...because I discipline with kindness, praise and rewards...and I don't let him outsmart me....which...he might try occasionally..😊....VERY SMART DOG....Makes me laugh every day....reads my mind..amazes me with being clever.

I grew up riding horses and the woman who owned the ranch always had a bunch of these running around. They're not like other miniature dogs. They have a lot of energy.

The biggest , toughest little dog you'll ever love , mine think's she is ten feet tall and bulletproof . They are smart and natural comedians . She is my very best friend in the world ❤️😆👍🏼 my girl is 16 yr's and 9 month's , slowing down but still bossy and sassy and funny ! Yes it's a good idea to have land with a JRT my when I had my first one I had an acre and 1/4 . With this one we have lived on a boat since she was 8 week's old she started as First Mate and quickly became the Admiral , I am merely the Captain she loves he boat ⚓️⛵️🌴☀️😎👍🏼❤️ very nice video thank you .

I love this. I rescued a Jack Russell six years ago, and this is my favourite breed so far.

Thank you so much for this awesome video! I truly appreciate your descriptions of their behavior and temperament they are truly wonderful family pet and companion. I just laid my Thor, who was 17 going on 18, to rest. He was a Jack Russell Whippet cross whom I adopted, bonded deeply with immediately and never looked back with regret once. We were best friends for over 13 years who I do not have to miss - we spent almost every waking and sleeping moment together, and made so many happy memories together. I truly cherish my life Journey shared with Thor, he was just like me that is so true about us and why we were such a good match - both difficult 😂. I love you Thor, my friend and companion. You taught me much about life and myself and I keep reflecting, always in Joy. ❤

Great video! Had the privilege of owning a Parson for 15yrs. Best friend I ever had. Nuff said.

One of the best terrier breeds 🐾 So happy to see this, Dogumentary best dog youtube channel going !

I love my JRT! I never have to worry about rodents or snakes. She kills everything, then comes inside and acts like a teddy bear. So affectionate, but loves to work outside. I recommend this breed to anyone with a half acre or more so that the dog can exercise.

What a fantastic video! Although we do show Russell Terriers, they are still very game. Wonderful dogs, loyal, loving and so much fun and yes, it does take a special person to deserve the LOVE of a JRT!

Great video. Thank you for coming to our club event! Love my little white dog. Thank you for catching him in your video.

What a wonderful breed. Thanks for having a breeder and judge sharing all her knowledge. Great video.

Had a Male lived till 16 and female till 14 years. Best doggos I ever had!

I just adopted a JRT a week ago and I can already say that I’m in love with the breed! She is two and full of energy. She is my bestie and is the sweetest lil miss!

Best breed ever! Cant live witout them🙏 Awsome dogumentary! Legendary!

This lady is so right about Jack Russell Terrier. I had one almost 9 years, until she developed bladder cancer had to be put to sleep. My family and I loved that dog soo much and we miss her deeply. I used to call her a big little dog. Now, we adopted a 7 year old beagle last year, who's now 8 years old. But, I still want to get another JET, be it purchased or adopted. We have a large fenced in yard and all my dogs lived in the house.

Small with the heart ❤of a lion! And full of caricature. Great wee dogs 👍

My Ringo is 3 years old! He's my best friend as a matter of fact he is everybody's best friend no one is a stranger he loves everyone and everyone loves him! He is a mischievous love bug who has patience with everyone and would never ever nip or bite anybody!!

JRT's best dogs in the world. Energetic, intelligent, funny and loyal.

I love mine, so happy to see the video about them, and the opinion of the expert, excellent, mine has so much drive, and also is so loving, agree with the versatility, she can be running and jumping and also a cuddler.

ONE OF THE BEST BREEDS EVER!

I love Jack Russells I saved my Jack Russell I was working at the time and my neighbors would not feed him at all and he would escape a lot running around freely but he would never have no food and no water then I move and decided to take him with me and ever since he's been the best he never even had to call her

The thing that i see in my Jack is his sense of his family and his need to guard them. Family is important to them even extended family.

Great video...I'm not a JRT fan, but I can always appreciate the content and quality of ur videos. Great job!

My favorite small dog.😊

Best dogs ever. I love my Jack puppy! 💕 This lady is supremely knowledgeable.

My mother has a JRT mix, he is the best watchdog I've ever seen, he sleeps watching the front door every night.

I laughed when she said the owners and dogs were both pretty much the same. I owned a Jack Russell, rat Terrier cross that I told people needed to be determained because all my two legged children were that way.

Very nicely done.

JRT is a wonderful breed, also my good hiking buddy.

Thank you for this ❤️

One of the best breeds for sure

These Dogs are amazing, mime helped me through sickness. I can't let her down..I Will take of her until she dies...still many years to come, she's 8 years old.

One day I was looking for a boxer on Craigslist about 6 years ago , I seen a nice looking add for boxer puppies for free !!! I contacted them and got a girl who I named cortana , few months later I was like she still weighs around 12lbs. Needless to say I couldn’t of been happier to have been scammed out of a boxer with my love bug jack Russell

We got 21 years of love and loyalty from our beloved JRT. Miss you, Hudson!

My female is my protector, if there's another dog near us then it's toast and that's from my mobility scooter to the horizon. She has pulled low flying birds out of the air amazing.

Thank you so much!

Had one for 17 years. Amazing, challenging dogs to own. An early warning sign....you go to a big box pet store and look at muzzles in different sizes named large, medium and small, and often a special separate category labeled "Jack Russell"....should give you pause😅

ALL DOGS ARE SO AWESOME BETTER THAN MOST HUMANS

Mines a jack russel terrier and beagle mix. Cute but deadly.

Great video thanks for the info

My first 2 JR ladies lived to 17 and 18. (Mollie and Forri) After deciding to never get another dog again after losing my old girls, I went and bought another one! Bonnie, aged 1. They leave such a gap in your house once they are gone you have to get another one. You describe the breed better than anyone I have ever known and the way you equate the JR breed with the owners is sooooo true. I could easily get a Labrador or spaniel but a passive dog like that would not suit my family. We love the non stop random full on never ending fun that is a JR.

Thanks for the video on JRT.

Only small dog i like lol

Great information! I recently started a channel dedicated to my Jack Russell pack because I meet people with so many question about owning them! Love the breed and all their challenges!

I have a 9mth old jack Russell staffishire bull terrier mix and he's such a smart dog. He has the body of the staffy and the personality of a jack. I can't wait to watch him grow to be an amazing dog.

We hv just got a 2 month old puppy home and just fits the description in the video... superb Xmas addition to our family

Best dogs ever! Thanks for the great video!

I've a patterjack, great little dog, intelligent plenty of spirit and a good companion

Great video. Proper jack Russell's! Mine is rough coat male 15 inch. He is awesome athlete and chases everything. My 4th jack. Best Dogs for fun adventures.

Wonderful! Keep up the great videos! I like all the breed videos you do. I would be interested in seeing more on working dogs doing their jobs or in training, like scent work, search and rescue, assistance dogs, therapy dogs, even more of the jack russels digging and catching animals. You have a lot on protection work and a bit on herding but not much on the rest.

Mankind's Greatest Inventions : Terrier !

We have been lucky enough to have been owned by 3 Jacks over a period of 27 years.................There is no better dog =on this earth😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I remember when I wanted my own Wishbone.🥰 I still ponder them sometimes, they’re so cute! 🤭

Jacks rule

I have a JRT/lab mix. He has an unreal amount of energy, and is too smart for his own good haha. Hes an awesome dog, but definitley needs a lot of discipline and a firm voice.

Love my jack russel. Great dog.

Ya! I lost my jack A couple years ago. (Bret Maverick)! He was the smartest dog I had ever known. He saved my son's life twice from seizure's. had killed better then A 100 rates, loved to chace Squwirls. He was with me 24 hours A day until he cleaned up some vomit after my son got sick he was dying from cancer and was taking a lot medication! I took him strait to the vet but they wouldn't take him in because of covid 19. He dyed at 5 the next morning! Now I'm missing them both! God bless.

Love these lil guys

Jacks are relentless hunters of snakes and rats, etc… they LOVE to play ball… my Jack is my bestie. She is 12 years old and plays ball every day. She loves playing outside with the kids.

Everything velvet hammer said! And more. I had my wonderful companion Parsons Russell named Rocky. He was the love of my life and he passed away at 15+ yrs and it was so very hard on me and I am still grieving his being gone. I miss him more than is possible to even explain. I am handicapped person and Rocky understood everything I needed, was patient and loving and never was disobedient for any reason. Always did what was expected and it was the most difficult thing to be separated from him. I will never replace Rocky but I am always looking for a Rocky somewhere in this country of the USA that I could have for my own again. They are a very desired breed and very hard to get.

had a purebred rough coat jack russell for 15 years. best dog i'll have ever had.

I had to put my Boglin Terrier down 4 weeks ago I told my wife I need a break 2 weeks later I came home with my first Jack Russell I got to say the little guy has filled my broken heart. I am looking forward growing old with Scranton.

Great #dogumentary 🐶🐶🐶🐶

Man these are some of the only small dogs I like. Had a Jack Russell mix as a kid, she was a tank. Extremely athletic and had a lot of moxie. Not scared of anything or anybody. She lived to 16. Would recommend this breed for anyone.

My beloved Fox Field was truly one of a kind. Amazing breed.

I’ve had two JRTs. One just recently passed at 18 yrs old and my first one passed in 2019 at 21 yrs. Both were fantastic dogs and once I get a home w a yard, I’ll look for another. The problem w longevity is the hole they leave in your heart. They both ended up having many of the problems JRTs have. Benign tumors were probably the worst to watch. But I cared for them as best I could. I highly recommend them for the right family. They both were very loving dogs but picked one person (me) and weren’t as close to others in the family. My older one didn’t do very well w my small son but she fell in love w him after he grew up and wasn’t messing with her so much. I miss them both so much.

I might have to get one when we get some land.

We have a Jack Russell named Maddy. She is very much like like how Lynn describes. She is fearless and loving. When Maddy met our new grandson, her maternal and protective instincts kicked in. She loved on that baby and laid next to him. When I went to pick him up, she whined a little. She then nipped at me as I did pick him up. When our granddaughter found a newborn kitten which was abandoned, Maddy's maternal instincts kicked in again and she took care of that kitten and dry nursed her as we had to bottle feed her. Maddy doesn't like cats but she is still protective of her cat and they play constantly together. By all means, have a fenced in yard. If one of the kids leave the gate open, Maddy takes off and it sometimes takes an hour to find her. Overall, my opinion is they are a very smart dog. They know when they have done something wrong but I believe she thinks it is better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission... Great watchdog and so good with the grandkids and all kids, come to think of it. She does have an Alpha personality when it comes to being with other dogs..

I have a rescued Jack Russell/ Yorkie mix. She has the coloring of a Yorkie but the rest is pure Jack Russell. She is like a tank: she runs through anything and prances around like she owns the world. I named her Tank and she lives up to the JR reputation. Full of spit and vinegar. I just adore her.

My JRT got a big chest he is fiery too but a sweet baby too. We give him alot of exercise so we dont have to crate him. He can stay home alone and he will nap while we are out running errands. Thankfully I have a big yard for his zoomies my mom loves when he gets them

My Jack Russell loves all dogs and people. Mine is fine on his own when I go to work as I have a dog flap into the garden. Nothing gets chewed. He loved to steal contractors tools when they do stuff in my house 😂

Total pocket rockets 🧨

I like her style how a lot of these working breeds are being transformed for show and house pets

Great Video. Pound for pound, I personally have yet to see a tougher or better hunting dog. Amazing breed!

Zeke. Need to do a video on the Canis Panther, Lori Berg Rock of Ages Kennel. Thanks for all you do😎

Finally ty

I have a rescue Jack and Lab. Love my rescue fur babies. I'm getting older so when the time to adopt again comes, I'll be looking for a senior rescue

My JRT mix is training to be my service dog. He notices all bugs and critters and as someone with an animal phobia he is awesome. He is soooo fast and I’m getting him into agility

You are so right. Our Luna is 1 year. We have a big fenced yard. She loves to hunt. We have a cat. They are friends. She is never alone. Always with me, I work at home. I walk 2 hours with her and we play a lot in the garden. With her bal and agililty training. I love love my little brave Luna. She is like a pistol. You are right the owner must have the the terrier charecter.

Jack Russell's are one of the BEST breeds around! Not always good with kids so a word of caution there, but they are true heros and they make the best friend! R.I.P. Toby, we will NEVER Forget you and ALWAYS miss YOU!

Can you do a video about Nova Scotia duck tolling retrievers please ?

These are amazing creatures. They almost require their own species rather than a breed of the common dog! Everything good about the dog archetype is hardwired into these guys from birth and if you give them attention, stimulation, fun, and training you will have a perfect pet (IMO). They're engaging, sociable, love people, they're excited to get out of bed (or over anything) and have a deep love for life. JR's are committed ballers and it seems that Fetch is their religion..They will NEVER quit until the task they want to accomplish is complete because everything is important to them. They all think they're Big-Shots and somehow, despite their compact size, they're convincing ("in the blue corner weighing in at a whopping 14 pounds...JR!!".) My JR (named "Jack," lacking creativity but he doesn't mind) will follow me anywhere and every day is better for having him. P.S. They're "fun-sized" too so you can sneak them in places easily.

About fences - I taught my 2 Jack Russells to respect my barb wire fences and stay within its boundaries. And they do because they are in Jack Russell heaven - all nine acres big.😊 I am planning to raise sheep and plan to use the male for rounding up the sheep next year. Any tips on training them to coral sheep will be appreciated. Thanks

If I may throw out a request: I'd love to see a documentary on one of the smaller spitz breeds such as American Eskimo, Japanese Spitz, German Spitz, Icelandic Sheepdog, etc! The American Eskimo especially, since they seem to have a reputation for aggression sometimes, yet others say they're the best dogs ever...

My Jack Russell is only half (her father is a pitbull), but man she is EXACTLY like this 😅

I actually found online a security /personal protection dog training for Jack Russells, and ideally, if you had a pack/team of, say four, five or six, you could quickly thwart a bad guy from his evil doings should they come looking around your property or your person... you can teach each one of the dogs to attack a certain area of the body; the neck/shoulder, hand /wrist, back of the knee/hamstring, and crotch - even if female would get real worried if a dog attacked her crotch! In this, the dog would be trying to grab the male parts, and not finding any, bite the upper thigh in the same area. Various sizes of Russell dogs would work they can all jump like crazy, maybe the longer legged ones would do better at the knee/ hamstring. A smaller Jack could run up the body and go to the neck and really just be too small to catch a hold of a leg, but maybe the taller Buzzsaw would be the one to do the job - if you taught them to 'tack from the back - which definitely seems to me to be the way for the dogs to avoid being caught and thrown. The reason they should not be taught to go for the Achilles tendon on the ankle is because they could be kicked and stomped; The shorter dogs could definitely go for the crotch in the hand/wrist. Now, I don't know if this is the way they train Jack Russells for personal protection and I must add that, most of these tactics I've mentioned so far, are ideas from a military man who told me how his dog was trained. It was a technique of hand-to-hand combat in tandem with a soldier; the soldier would fight the face, and the dog would fight the back of the enemy. The dog would be baying at the enemy of course, gnashing of the teeth certainly, and furthermore, always stayed exactly opposite of his Soldier - if his Soldier was at the back of the enemy, then the dog was at the front of the enemy, you see what I mean? And if the Soldier made a strike at the enemy, or enemy makes connection with the soldier, than the dog takes a chunk out of them somewhere and gets the enemy to release the soldier. If that doesn't work then the dog is trying to go for the neck of the enemy or the crotch by command of whatever his Soldier tells him to do, such as bite the lower part of the forearm so hopefully the dog gets a hold of one of the bones and might also sink one of his fangs into the wrist and in between the tiny bones of the wrist to the carpal band and one of the three different nerves (radial, medial, ulnar) there, which will definitely make the hand malfunction. Which means the enemy can't operate his knife or his gun against the dog's Soldier or against the Soldier's dog. These are Shepherd type dogs they definitely have a big enough mouth and big enough fangs to do damage, but Jack Russell's got some pretty big mouths on them too and some pretty damn big teeth for a little dog. I had a 50/50 Jack Russell purebred × Heinz 57 that was at least 25% Dachshund, there was Shepherd, Heeler/cattledog and Pitbull in the mix too*. Suffice it to say, she had a long beak on her, good for snatch 'nd grabs. "Though she be but little, she is fierce" ** The only real requirement is to have an appropriately large mouth, or maybe I should say long enough jawline, face, whatever, you get the idea. But regardless of my not finding the right word(s), four Buzzsaws coming at you in unison, attacking different parts of the body will make you give up your mission if yer a badguy! * there was lots of different baby daddies. I knew the whole family tree, and not one of them looked related to the other - my dog's own mother look like an escapee from a genetics research lab it was a regular Frankendog. Basically a white dog with a shepherd beak and nose kind of a square head like a pit, body a little bit like a barrel-chested boxer, the back end looked totally gsd-legged and Bluetick & merled, front arms were thick and straight and far apart kind of like there was bulldog back too many generations ago for me to know. Tail, was that of any Shepherd, fluffy and long with typical black and golden tan hair and fluffy petticoats that were the color of GSD that branched out from the Blue Tick Merle in spite of it being there and coloring the rump, and face was black and white like a border collie yet the patches that cover the side of the face and the German Shepherd like ears were colored brindle instead of Simply black but there was no long hair like the Border Collie except what looked like dangly feathery earrings from the ears. Very odd. ** A Midsummer Night's Dream; act 3, scene 2; said Helena, about her friend Hermia, because of a "chick fight" they had. Alack and alas, there were no dogs present to help her against her momentary foe!

I am blessed. I am terrified. I am blessed because for the past fourteen years my best friend has been a Jack Russell Terrier. He's made laugh when I didn't want to and go for walks when depression was holding me in bed. As far as having the drapes pulled, that didn't work for him and so sunshine was brought back into rooms that he discovered. When that ball came at my ankles, he would dance and bark until I picked it up to throw it which meant we had to go to the back yard. By now you know who God sent to help me out of my depression and you have to know why I am terrified. He's not as spunky and he sleeps a lot but I need to get over this feeling and enjoy our time together.

Yessssssss!!!!!

I have one. I love her so much. Great hunter. Indestructible. Possum, squirrel, racoon, frogs, snakes, insects. She will kill them all. Such a great protector. She is a terminator! Love my adopted Mia ❤

JRTs for 25 years! I've always thought I needed an easier breed! There's no other for me! I've bred, Shown at JRTCA trials , agility....couch potatoes, you name it, I love them all. Going into retirement I think I'm on my last 2......but who knows!
