Adopting a Jack Russell Terrier-Maltese Mix Dog For Your Family
If you’ve been considering adopting a Jack Russell Terrier-Maltese mix, there are many things to keep in mind. The Jack Russell breed is highly intelligent and eager to please. They have been bred for years to follow commands and respond to training, but they’re not for everyone. This breed of dog may not be right for you, but it can do wonders for your family. This breed can have a unique personality, so make sure to research the best training methods for your new dog.
A Jack Russell Terrier-Maltese mix should not be left unattended when you’re not home. This small breed has a sensitive bladder, so house training them may be difficult. It’s recommended that you take them out at least one time every hour. However, if you’re unable to provide enough attention, this breed is not a good choice for you. Make sure to take your puppy to doggie daycare regularly and socialize with new people.

Both breeds of terriers have distinct personalities. The Jack Russell Terrier is intelligent, and the Maltese dog is highly motivated to learn new tricks. Maltese dogs are highly affectionate and enjoy socializing with people, and they’re usually more tolerant than their Jack Russell counterparts.

Maltese-Jack Russell mix dogs have health risks. The Maltese are prone to eye problems, ear infections, and joint dysplasia, and a Jack Russell Terrier may develop bladder stones. A Maltese-Jack Russell Terrier mix is more prone to develop these problems than its purebred counterpart. But that doesn’t mean it won’t be playful and gentle!
The Jack Russell Terrier was first developed by Parson John Russell in the mid-18th century.
The breed was originally intended to be a working terrier, but the modern name is Parson Russell Terrier. Jack Russells range in size from about 10 inches tall to 15 inches long and weigh thirteen to 17 pounds. They can also be found at shelters and are still available for adoption. But be prepared to make a huge commitment to owning a Jack Russell Terrier, and do your homework before deciding to adopt one.
The Jack Russell terrier is a highly sociable dog. It is great for families with children. They are gregarious and love to play and cuddle. This breed is an excellent choice for families, and the same traits are present in the mixed breed of the two dogs.

While the Jack Russell Terrier is smaller than the West Highland Terrier, it is not as hairy as its parent breeds. They don’t shed like the purebred JRT, but you may need to spare time to keep their coats clean. A Jack Russell Terrier can be anywhere from eleven inches to fifteen inches in height, and a Westie can be even smaller than a purebred JRT.
