Developed in England some 200 years ago to hunt foxes, the Jack Russell Terrier, also known as the Parson Russell Terrier, is a lively, independent, and clever little dog.
He’s charming and affectionate, but he’s also a handful to train and manage. For experienced dog owners only!
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Jack Russells are no exception!

If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Jack Russell owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…

I can imagine every one of those thoughts coming from my sweet JRT – dear Molly. It was hard to decide to let her go but I cannot imagine not being with her all the way through her final journey. It was so hard to do but you simply owe it to your best buddy to stay by them, to hold their paw, to stroke their back. They need the comfort of you being there and hearing your voice as they drift away. Miss you so much Molly.
