Caring for a Jack Russell Terrier

Health

Prone to patellar luxation, lens luxation, and hereditary ataxia (a neurological condition affecting coordination); some deafness also occurs in the breed.

Nutrition

A quality diet in measured portions; genuinely high energy means calories should match real activity level.

Grooming

The short or wiry coat needs minimal brushing.

Training

Highly intelligent but strong-willed — consistent, engaging training and serious daily exercise are essential, or that energy turns into digging and other unwanted behaviors.

About the breed

A small, energetic English terrier bred to hunt foxes by going to ground, famous for tenacity well beyond its size.

Bold, intelligent, and endlessly energetic, Jack Russells need real daily activity and mental engagement to stay content.
