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:

We dont keep jrs outside ! Smooth haired jrs suffer from hypothermia in winter and sunstroke in summer ! So a good fleece for winter is needed . Many jrs are fussy eaters a well, many can be pickers and snack little and often ! Love em to bits but dont take one on if you havent got patience needed ? Most smooth coated jrs are kept indoors in Britain and mostly were mostly bred for ratting !

I love this soo much. My buddy, Winston, is on the second half of his 14th year. He has his health problems but I feel as if #20 is far away. He still runs, jumps, catches lizards, pees in neighbor dogs faces through the fence, and is overall very lively.
But #20 made me cry, regardless of his current health. Winston is such a GOOoOd boy

I know I am gonna cry. I don’t like to think of it. I am just going to enjoy the time that I have with him.
He is sooo smart. He could’ve been a TV dog, I swear! I love him like any other family member.

She was my grandson’s side-kick and my shadow. I had her for 15 years and was with her when she took her last breath. We buried her on our farm and I miss her everyday.
