English Jack Russell Terriers Are Great Dogs For Family
The English Jack Russell Terrier has a long history dating back to the 1800s in England. The breed was bred for its tenacious hunting skills and loyalty.

It’s one of the few terrier breeds with a dual purpose: hunting fox and controlling rodents.
The Jack Russell Terrier is a sturdy breed that should have a well-balanced head and body proportion. The skull should be flat and moderately wide at the ears, and narrow and tapering towards the eyes. The head should have a stop, which is the transitional area between the back skull and muzzle. The stop should be slightly shorter than the distance from the nose to the occiput. The black nose is an important characteristic of the Jack Russell breed.

If you’re looking for a friendly companion with high energy levels, consider a different breed.

A Jack Russell needs a daily exercise routine. Besides yard games, long walks are essential. Jack Russells also need mental stimulation.

So, be sure to provide plenty of exercises. And if possible, give him a dog run if you have the time.

Despite these characteristics, these terriers became popular companions for hunters. However, due to financial constraints, he had to put them up for sale. He died in 1883.
In 1909, an attempt to promote the Jack Russell was made to establish a club dedicated to it. This organization later adopted a standard that was based on the standards set by the South East Jack Russell Terrier Club.
