Jack Russell mix with Poodle is also referred to as Jack Russell Poodle, or simply as Jack Russell. Jackadoodle (Jackalope) is an elegant and intelligent designed breed originating from the Jack Russell breed and mixed with a Poodle. Jackapoo (jackass) is an exceptionally small and gentle designed breed, with an expected lifespan of fewer than twelve years. Jackadoodle is considered to be one of the most popular crossbreeds among many dog lovers the world over.
Jack Russell Mix With Poodle
The mixed-breed dog, jack-a-poo, is expected to bring health and good quality of life to its owners. The traits that the poodle has been missing in the past were compensated for by the jack-a-poo through extensive training in the modern method. In addition, jack-a-poo also have inherited the advantageous characteristics of a poodle. This breed is more compact with a square head, round tail, long legs, stocky build, low activity level, and a short tail. Jack-a-poo has also inherited a slower growth rate and a shorter temperament.
This is the typical behavior of the jack-a-poo dog; quiet and shy with a very sweet disposition, although these traits are also present in the poodle mix breeds
These dogs also have high energy levels, but very low temperaments. They have great endurance, agility, but they can also be aggressive to other animals and people. These dogs need training from a young age as the nature of their work requires high intelligence, attention to detail, and protective skills. A jack Russell poodle mix with a Poodle may cross its path with many unsuspecting humans because of their love of excitement. However, this high-energy mixed breed can make a good family pet.
It’s not easy to choose a jack-a-poo or Russell dog mix as they’re like jack-o-lanterns: you either love them or you hate them! These dogs mix extremely well with almost any type of poodle, however, they’re not the best option for those who want a small dog, low energy, and high maintenance. A jack-a-poo with a Poodle will require twice as much time and effort as a regular poodle to achieve the same results, so if your lifestyle doesn’t allow for this type of dog then stay away from them.
A jack-a-poo with a Poodle can become a great family pet, but it’s not an easy task, and training them is often more difficult than training a regular poodle
Poodles are known as highly intelligent and well-behaved small dogs, and jack-a-poo dogs can get very bored if they don’t have anything to do. They’re also extremely quick at picking up new behaviors, so you’ll need to get up to speed on how to properly train your jack-a-poo. Because they have such high energy levels, it can be easy to let them go off training for a few days, but that’s the only way to teach them basic manners.
The first thing you should always remember when training your jack-a-poo with a poodle mix is never to give in. Poodles naturally want to control the pack, and they can get overly aggressive if they believe they aren’t being respected. Always be firm with your jack-a-poo, and don’t give in when they beg. This will only teach them to think they can get away with it since they’ve been training you incorrectly. Instead, show your anger by snapping your fingers or another form of action similar to a command, then quickly take over by saying your command in a firm, non-angry tone.
Another mistake you shouldn’t make with the Russell poodle mix is to use too many commands at once
A good example would be to say, “Sit” followed by, “Down”. While it can be tempting to do this, it is best to use only one command at a time, and stick to it. It’s much easier to teach a small dog simple commands like sit, down, and stay. Instead of teaching them 50 commands, you’ll be able to use just five or six commands and still maintain control.
The last mistake you shouldn’t make with a jack-a-poo with a smaller dog is to let them roam free. Before long, jackrabbits are masters at running up and down the stairs. If you don’t have a crate, it is best not to allow your smaller dog free run around the house. They may end up either getting caught up in furniture or the carpet. If your Russell with Poodle has any tendency to roam, you should probably invest in some quality doggy proofing.
