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!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Jack Russell Terrier owners must never forget.
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…
Check out the 20 Things All Jack Russell Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

My jack skippy saved my life. When I would stop breathing with sleep apnea she would awaken run into my room and start licking my face to stimulate my breathing. As a result I had a sleep study done and confirmed sleep apnea.

My three, and ive always had three for the last thirty years so when we loose one from the oack that the loss is better handled among us. My babys have no idea about hitting, kicking, slapping, pinching, pushing, rolled up oapers, or any other form of punishment people inflict on their animals. They are the “best”bes

Ive had several Jack Russell’s and they have always been my favourite..till Gucci, my little Minpin decided he wanted to share my life..Minpins are so very much like J R’s: love their fearless spirit and lust for life: we are so blessed to have these little friends with big hearts in our lives!

My J R is almost two and last year she embarked on a journey that we had a great time. Last year I just some what recovered from a very bad motorcycle accident (which she stayed in bed with me for nine months) I took her on a two block ride. I went back to the house and she didn’t want to get off the bike when she did jump off we walked in she was full of excitement that’s when I told my friend we’re going to the black hills. The next day we all set out for a five hundred mile run. We stopped halfway there for refreshments and a potty break. She slept most of the way out after she realized there really wasn’t much to see. When we arrived at our destination she met the people I love as family and she had already expected them as family also by acting like a little lady. We all are getting ready to go back out very shortly. As I write this my little sweetheart is laying beside me and to be honest I can’t sleep without her snuggled up with me. Cookie is definitely a gift from GOD and I’m thankful for the gift and also thank Cookie for coming into my life.

We have a 15 mth old JR and he has brought us such joy. Very smart, cuddly and vocal. I’d like another one so Buddy has a playmate his size.

This makes love my Jack Russell even more! He’s a little stinker, but we adore him. He’s hilarious, expressive, & so loving. I’ve had a lot of dogs, but our Jack Russell is the best I’ve ever had!
