I am thinking about getting one or should I re home an older dog, boss has agreed I can bring it to work with me so it wouldnt be at home alone all day

Thank you

Jack Russells are lovely dogs. Full of fun.

Personally I would re-home an older do. Puppies always get a home, adults are less fortunate.

That was my thinking and older dogs will already be house trained (hopefully) are there any reputable re homing societys purely for JRT's

fingers crossed as I have always wanted either a JRT or manchester terrier

Have 2 JR's. Right little bundles of mischief. Very loving but can get quite snappy with strangers. Someone said 'a Jack Russell is a great big fierce dog trapped in a tiny body.' Don't know about re-homing. I had both mine as pups.

The best ever !

Just need firm training right from the start then it's all fun and love and... Intelligence !

. Agree with daisymay66, they really ARE like "big dogs trapped in a tiny body"

I have a wee little Boris a JRT, he's full of mischief and and is so sweet, I wouldn't swap him for the world... I am sure u would find few JRTs at rehoming centres. Boris is currently at the vets for castration so i am bit concerned for him at the moment.

I hope Boris is ok, I am really going to give it alot of thought before commiting myself to a JRT as I know its for life
thanks I know saff gets on with terriers so thats a good start

We had a ten week old JTR three weeks ago. Her name is Dotty as she is all white with a dot on her back and dots on her ears !! Love her so much they are so much fun, we have a miniture snauzer who is eleven who is tolerating Dotty ! ! when she hangs on Sculleys beard and eybrows she lets her know she does not like it !! Perhaps they should be called Jack Russell Terrorists !!
