He'll excavate your garden and your living room with just as much determination as when he’s digging for a critter. It is the legacy of his legitimate work eradicating vermin on the farms where he originated. Those traits include a tremendous drive to dig – something bred deep in the Jack Russell. It should be celebrated by someone who loves the very traits that drive many JRT owners insane. His endless desire to be digging, barking and investigating can't and shouldn't be squelched. More to the point, those dogs had full-time jobs, which is what the JRT wants and needs. If you're wondering why your Jack Russell isn't as well-behaved as Eddie or Wishbone, it's because the dogs that portray those characters have full-time trainers on staff to keep them in line.
#JACK RUSSELL FULL#
If you have a job in mind for him that will push his limits and engage his full and enthusiastic attention, then you may be that rare person who is right for one of these dogs. They were created for active work, and it's what they love and what they are driven to do. That's not because Jack Russells are bad dogs.
No matter how enamored you were of Eddie on Frasier or Wishbone from the PBS show of the same name, the fact is this: The Jack Russell Terrier (or the Parson Russell, as he's known in AKC circles) is almost certainly not the breed for you. The Parson Russell and the Jack Russell are essentially the same breed, with minor differences in size in their breed standards. The name Parson Russell Terrier is used by the American Kennel Club and Britain’s Kennel Club to avoid confusion with terriers that use the name Jack Russell Terrier, which is trademarked by the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America.
