How to care for a Jack Russell Terrier

Should I have a Jack Russell Terrier in an apartment?

A dog can feel good in apartment conditions. The owner must devote enough time to the pet, especially walking it. Otherwise, an active dog will turn everything upside down out of boredom. The breed needs physical exercise, frequent walks, and jogging without a leash.

Appearance of Jack Russell Terrier

For your information! The dog has an excellent hunting sense and can catch any living creature.

The best place to live is an apartment near a forested area, where the dog can run freely like a child.

Education and training

A dog needs not only prohibitions, but also affection. Remember that an animal that lacks love, affection and communication tries to attract the owner’s attention with its antics.

The energy output of a mobile and active dog should be directed in the right direction. We are talking about physical activity, long walks in the fresh air, training and practicing certain commands and skills. According to experts in the field of cynology, the Jack Russell Terrier is considered one of the most intelligent and easily trained breeds. A smart dog easily learns commands, including those he hears for the first time, and applies them perfectly in agility competitions.

Caring for a Jack Russell Terrier is always fun. The simplest thing you can teach a Jack Russell at first is to know his name (respond to it), to know where to go to the toilet (diaper or litter box). And a well-mannered dog knows that begging for human food is prohibited and a sign of bad taste. Train your dog to know its place from 2 months. After all, character is formed up to six months, then it is more difficult to correct it.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with: Toy Terrier and Chihuahua differences. How to distinguish?

The dog easily learns commands, although due to lack of perseverance the puppy may be distracted. Engage him with treats and praise. The dog must know that it needs to walk only near the left leg, for example, next to the owner. When you need to cross the street, command him to sit and wait so that the dog does not throw himself under the car. All this is difficult in the first stages, but believe me, then you won’t have to do anything.

The dog will soon love your team games, and in some of them he will force you to participate. One such trick could be: the jack bends his paw and waits for you to put a stick on the ground. The owner moves away, and the jack, without moving, watches him while you approach and grab the stick. Then, in a matter of seconds, he grabs a stick and fights for the right to own the “trophy.” You can come up with many such games and everything is in your hands.

Each Jack Russell Terrier has its own character, phobias and eccentricities. Keeping such a pet is pleasant and troublesome at the same time. If you have already fallen in love with this breed, we wish you a lot of patience and the ability to forgive tricks. After all, living happily ever after is possible this way!

Keeping and feeding a puppy

For the puppy, you need to select and arrange a place where he will sleep. You need to find a permanent place for a bed in your apartment. The bed should be of a suitable size so that the dog can fully fit on it, not too soft or hard, and covered with natural fabric.

In addition to the sleeping place, it is important to take care of a place for the enclosure in case the owners are absent. It should be equipped with a thick mattress and a bowl of water. It is recommended to leave several dog toys so that the puppy can play independently without damaging home furnishings or shoes.

Note! The Jack Russell Terrier is an active breed, so the puppies run a lot, are constantly on the move, and love to jump. If the apartment has several floors, you need to limit his movement along the stairs. After all, a puppy has rather fragile bones that can break easily.

For healthy development, a puppy requires a balanced diet, including the required amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins.

Initially, it is better to feed a small Jack Russell the same food that he was fed by the breeder, so as not to cause digestive problems. Often, the nursery provides puppies with good quality dry food. To switch to natural food, it is important to introduce foods suitable for the pet’s age into his diet every day for several weeks.

Important! It is strictly forbidden to give food and natural food at the same meal.

The basis of a natural diet should be meat, vegetables and cereals. When feeding, you need to take into account the recommended proportions of 2:1:1.

If the puppy is 1 month old, you can give dairy products, but at an older age it should be excluded, because the breed is lactose intolerant.

Toilet training

Raising a small puppy begins from the first months of life. The first toilet for a puppy is a diaper, because without vaccinations it is dangerous to take him outside. To teach the puppy to relieve himself on it, you need to put it in a diaper every time he starts fussing around in search of a comfortable place. This way he will quickly remember where his “toilet” is.

To quickly train your pet to use the toilet outside the home, you need to follow these tips:

• You need to take the dog out for a walk after 5-10 minutes. after eating food. In addition, when the dog wakes up, you need to immediately go outside with him;
• if the puppy is not yet 6 months old, it needs to be walked every 2-3 hours. Frequent walks will help quickly accustom the four-legged dog to defecation on the street. After 6 months, walks are reduced to 2-3 times a day; their number should be reduced gradually;
• If in the apartment the dog begins to behave fussily, sniffing the floor, looking for the right place, you need to take him outside as quickly as possible.

Several techniques to help train your dog to go to the toilet outside the apartment:

• After bowel movements, the puppy needs to be praised;
• treat dog treats;
• play with your pet.

Note! After such simple actions on the part of the owner, the dog will understand that his behavior evokes positive emotions in the person, and that after this he is treated and praised. The dog will try to evoke such emotions every time.

How to choose a puppy

The conditions for choosing a puppy depend on the purpose of its establishment: as a pet for a family, for breeding or showing at exhibitions, for hunting. To keep a family, they do not buy an expensive show-class puppy. A dog with average characteristics is ideal. When choosing a representative of the breed as a family companion, consider the following points:

1. Dogs are very active; walks with them should be at least three hours a day. If it is not possible to walk outside for a long time with your mega-active pet, ask the breeder to choose the calmest bitch in the litter.
2. A dog purchased for a family must have a calm and balanced disposition. If you take a puppy into your home from parents who specialize in hunting small animals and rodents, the dog will show its hunting skills on household items.
3. A family with a child needs a non-aggressive puppy; it is advisable to ask the breeder in advance about the pet’s attitude towards children.

When a dog is bought to participate in shows, receive awards, or conduct breeding activities, then the selection is approached with the utmost rigor. You should select a puppy from the show class category, ideally meeting the standards, with impeccable characteristics of the breed. When purchasing a puppy for exhibitions, we are guided by the following selection criteria:

1. A successful show career is possible for a puppy whose parents are registered with the FCI. The cynological organization guarantees compliance with all breed standards and documentary evidence.
2. The puppy's parents must have multiple awards from exhibitions. If possible, you need to look at one or both parents to see if they really correspond to the indicators stated in the documents.
3. Before meeting with the breeder to make a deal, you need to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the breed standard, according to the FCI, in order to check their presence in the puppy you are purchasing.
4. The gender of the animal is important. For breeding activities, they buy bitches. Cable needs to be shown more frequently to maintain his status as a breeding dog.

Hunters buy Jack Russell Terrier puppies from parents with special certificates. Hunting qualities are inherited from adults to offspring. By checking the documentary evidence of the presence of hunter genes, the future owner receives an excellent working dog. Whatever the purpose of the purchase, there are general requirements for the condition of the animal:

• shiny wool;
• straight paws;
• normal structure of all parts of the body;
• correct bite;
• clear eyes;
• bright pink mucous membranes;
• healthy (no discharge, bald patches, etc.) genitals and anus;
• drooping testicles (in males).

How much does a Jack Russell Terrier dog cost and where to buy it?

Kennels in Moscow, the Moscow region and St. Petersburg sell puppies at prices ranging from 20,000 to 40,000 rubles. In the nurseries, all puppies are vaccinated according to age, branded, have a pedigree document and a veterinary passport. It is possible to purchase a terrier from private producers at a cost of 3 to 8 thousand rubles. The living conditions, health and genetics of the parents in such cases are very questionable.

Keeping an adult dog at home

Jack Russell Terrier: description and characteristics of the breed

The Jack Russell Terrier requires special care and maintenance. An adult terrier needs a place where he can walk in the fresh air every day, satisfying his needs for movement. Ideally, there is a fenced plot of land near the house without vehicle traffic. But this is not necessary, he can be taken to a park, planting, quarry, etc., where you can remove the leash from him and let him frolic.

Given the Jack Russell's small size, it can do well in a small apartment. However, it is worth remembering that if the owner does not have enough time for the dog, it is not worth getting such a breed. To ensure the necessary physical activity, the owner must walk the pet at least one hour a day.

How to feed an adult Jack Russell Terrier

The diet of an adult Jack Russell Terrier should replenish the required amount of vitamins and microelements. Before the puppy is 1 year old, the owner needs to decide what to feed the dog - natural food or ready-made food. The transition from natural food to prepared food or vice versa is quite difficult for the animal; digestive problems often arise, and the pet refuses food.

Ready food

For optimal food selection, consult your veterinarian.

If the owner prefers ready-made food, it must be of high quality

Dog food comes in the following types:

• Economy class. They are made from poor quality products, they contain very few vitamins and microelements;
• premium class. The composition does not include by-products, a certain percentage of vitamins is provided;
• super premium class. Made from quality products. The advantage is the composition, which provides the required amount of vitamins and microelements. This type of food will be more expensive than other types. When consuming it, your pet does not need additional vitamins or supplements.

Important! When dry food enters the stomach, it increases in volume and absorbs liquid. Your pet needs constant access to water, otherwise constipation may occur due to dehydration.

Natural feeding

If you prefer natural feeding, you should keep in mind that the menu should be varied and balanced. The diet should contain the following products:

• meat - at least 50% of the total food. Ideally, feed the animal beef. You can also give by-products, but you should not abuse them;
• cereals (25% of the total food). You can cook oatmeal, rice and buckwheat;
• vegetables (15-20%);
• fish. From time to time, instead of meat products, you can give fish without bones;
• fruits. Instead of treats, you can pamper your four-legged dog with small portions of bananas, apples, and pears.

How to raise and train a Jack Russell Terrier puppy

From an early age, your pet needs to be educated. The breed has an active specific character. If you don’t have time for this, you can raise a very wayward and uncontrollable dog. Ideally, owners turn to professional trainers. The specialist will recommend how best to train your dog, stop inappropriate behavior and reward good habits.

Before buying a small terrier, you need to determine its place in the house, buy a couple of good toys so that the animal chews them, and not slippers or a sofa. From the very beginning, it is necessary to stop the pet’s attempts to bite the owner. The dog must feel who is the main boss in the family.

When raising a Jack Russell Terrier, you should show moderation, severity and some perseverance. It is strictly forbidden to hit an animal. The pet of this breed is responsive to praise, love and affection.

He must follow standard commands: “sit”, “come to me”, “lie down”, “fu”, “near”, “give”, “place”, “fetch”. You need to act persistently and with confidence, not paying attention to the dog’s pranks and tricks.

How to care for a dog

Raccoon dog: what it looks like, keeping it at home

If you like the Jack Russell Terrier breed, caring for and maintaining such a dog at home will not require excessive work. To reduce possible diseases, and for the dog to always look neat, you need to take into account some rules.

Grooming must be timely

Wool

The Jack Russell Terrier should be brushed several times a week. You can remove tangles and dead hairs using a furminator or a rubber comb. When your dog sheds, you should brush him every day.

Note! This dog doesn't need a haircut. Sometimes during hygienic care it is allowed to cut the hair in the groin area, between the paw pads.

Bathing

Water procedures are carried out no more than 2 times a year. This is due to the fact that frequent bathing causes dandruff and dry skin. Because of this, the pet may encounter skin diseases (eczema, dermatitis, etc.)

To avoid drying out your skin after bathing, it is not recommended to use a hairdryer; wiping with a towel is sufficient.

Important! During bathing, the ears are covered with cotton wool.

Ears

Frequent rubbing of the auricle disrupts the microflora of the ear. If dirt is found, it can be removed using a cotton pad or ear swab, previously soaked in a special ear cleaning solution. After this, the cleaned area should be blotted with a dry swab. If you notice strange discharge or an unpleasant odor from the ears, you should seek help from a veterinarian.

If the dog's ears have a healthy light pink tint, there is no unpleasant odor, ear cleaning is not required

Eyes

The condition of the eyes should be given special attention. The corners of the eyes should be wiped regularly. If a lot of mucus accumulates in them, the eyes turn sour, it is better to take the four-legged dog for examination to a veterinary clinic.

Teeth

You also need to take care of your teeth. To do this, it is enough to examine the animal’s mouth once a week. If inflammatory processes are noticeable, you should seek specialized help. To combat plaque on your teeth, you can let your dog chew on a bone or try brushing his teeth with a special paste.

Claws

Usually the claws wear down during street walks on asphalt or hard ground, but in winter they can grow back significantly and cause severe discomfort: it hurts the dog to walk, the claws break, and the dog’s posture changes. Therefore, the claws can be trimmed manually with a nail clipper.

When trimming nails, the main thing is not to touch the blood vessels.

Taking care of your health

The Jack Russell Terrier breed is characterized by good health and resistance to pathogens of many diseases. With proper organization of care and maintenance of a pet, carefully thought-out and well-established nutrition, the dog maintains strong immunity throughout its life.

Typical diseases of the Jack Russell Terrier include diseases of the ears, eyes and nervous system, as well as problems with the musculoskeletal system. The risk of developing a particular disease can be prevented by timely vaccination and annual routine examinations of the dog by a veterinarian.

The first vaccinations for Jack Russell Terrier puppies are given at the age of 1.5 months. Dogs are given a comprehensive vaccine against hepatitis, enteritis and adenovirus. The second vaccination is given 3-4 weeks later.

Before starting vaccination, it is necessary to do a test for worms and deworm your pet. Please note that only healthy dogs can be vaccinated, so it is recommended to first show the Jack Russell Terrier to a veterinarian who will assess the dog’s condition and well-being.

Jack Russell trimming

Depending on the type of coat, the following types of Jack Russell Terrier are distinguished:

• smooth-haired;
• brocken;
• wire-haired;

Species with long or coarse hair require special care for their coat. These dogs do not shed. The hairs of the fur die off, acquire a yellowish tint and remain on the animal, which significantly worsens the appearance. In addition, it prevents the growth of new hairs, so it is important to trim regularly, especially for dogs participating in exhibitions.

For your information! Trimming is a procedure during which dead hairs are plucked out. The first procedure is carried out when the puppy has reached 4-6 months, during which time the puppy's coat changes to that of an adult.

Jack Russell sheds heavily: what to do

The short-haired breed is subject to shedding in certain seasons, which does not cause allergic reactions in people and has no odor. This is a natural process, but the dog’s fur may grow too much, which indicates a health problem or improper care. In the second option, you need to change food, shampoo, and comb it more often.

What to do if she sheds a lot?

Shedding is a natural process, but if it is too heavy, you should take your dog to the vet - in some cases, increased hair loss may indicate health problems.

If the examination reveals any disease in the pet, the doctor will prescribe the necessary treatment; if the Jack Russell is healthy, the problem is due to improper care.

It is necessary to review the dog’s diet, change shampoo and conditioner, comb and bathe the pet more often.

Walk

It is recommended to take the puppy outside after all vaccinations and pest control have been completed. The time of the first walks should be 10-15 minutes, then it gradually increases to at least 2 hours a day. In winter weather, to avoid hypothermia, you should get warm clothes for your dog. In hot weather, it is better to walk your pet in a shaded area.

It is advisable to find a fenced area to let your dog off the leash. He needs to be given time to hunt small animals. The Jack Russell loves to sniff around and dig holes in the hope of getting to his “prey.”

Important! Regular street walks have a positive effect on the overall health of your four-legged friend, so you need to go outside every day, regardless of weather conditions.

Terriers need long and frequent walks with active games.

The Jack Russell is an active breed and is suitable for people with the same active lifestyle. The owner will never get bored with such a cheerful pet. It is important for owners to satisfy their pet’s needs for movement and timely care. Regular hygiene procedures and a balanced diet contribute to the dog's healthy development and attractive appearance.

How and why to glue ears?

According to the standard, the Jack Russell's ears should be slightly raised at the cartilages, and the tips should be lowered to the line of the eyes. However, genetic predisposition, excess calcium in the dog's blood, changing teeth, vaccinations and other factors can cause the ears to become straight and high folded.

CAREFULLY!

Perked ears are a serious defect. Such dogs cannot participate in exhibitions and breeding.

If you notice this deficiency in time, it can be corrected. The most suitable age for a pet to install ears is 3-4 months.

There are several methods for gluing ears:

• Taking the dog's ear by the tip and bringing it closer to the outer corner of the eye, determine the fold line. On the outside of the ear, just below this line, stick the patch, leaving a 1-2 cm margin at the edges and repeat the procedure on the inside. To strengthen the bandage, stick on several more layers of plaster, and put a coin between them - it will pull the ear down. Glue the ends of the patch together and carefully trim off the excess.
• The difference from the previous method is that the ear must also be folded lengthwise, forming 2 creases at once: a horizontal one, continuing the line of the skull, and a vertical one, reaching the lower edge of the ear. Apply the patch around the ear in several layers without placing a coin.
• This method is used in case of formation of irregular creases in the fold line. It is necessary to lift your pet's ear, pulling it up by the tip, and stick several layers of adhesive tape on the inside, along the auricle. Determine the fold line, adjust the ear along it, make a fold and fix it.

It is necessary to ensure that there are no diaper rashes on the skin.

If they appear, you should remove the bandage for several days and treat the ears with salicylic alcohol, preventing the spread of bacteria.

Correction of ear placement

To carry out the correction at home, you will need a medical plaster; it must be of good quality in order to be firmly fixed on the ear for several days.

It is important to correctly determine the width of the adhesive plaster. The most convenient width is two centimeters; you can use a wider one by cutting off excess edges.

First, we find the fold line to create the perfect fold. We take the puppy's ear by its tip and bring it to the outer corner of the eye.

It is necessary to ensure that the end of the ear is in line with the eye and points straight forward. Thus, we get the bend that we want to achieve.

This is the future fold line, and we will follow it further. The line divides the terrier's ear in two, the base and the tip of the ear.

The adhesive plaster is glued to the second part, to the outside, slightly moving away from the conventional border of the fold.

The most important thing is to carefully glue the adhesive plaster, without forming folds . The edge of the glued adhesive plaster should have an allowance of about one centimeter from the sides of the ears.

After this, we repeat everything with the inside of the ear. Adhesive plaster around the edges, carefully trimmed.

For the purpose of additional weighting, several more are glued on top of the initial layer. As a load, a coin is placed in the layers of the plaster.

Before this, it must be covered with adhesive tape, then it will be securely held in place.

Temper and character

By nature, the Jack Russell Terrier is sociable, sociable and affectionate. Having taken a puppy of this breed into your home, it is recommended to introduce the baby to the household and other animals; dogs have strong hunting instincts, and in the absence of education they can lose themselves in the game and pursue “prey”.

It will be surprising if a cheerful and active Jack Russell Terrier, with a character corresponding to its original purpose, does not dig a hole in the garden - the dog is having fun, the pet loves to catch moles or mice. Jack Russell is a thunderstorm of rats and hamsters, rushes after hares and deer, insects and birds, and starts hunting for flying leaves or pieces of paper. The history of the breed celebrates the Jack Russell Terrier named Vampire, who exterminated a ton of rats in the UK in a year! Due to the boundless ebullient energy that needs to be released, the dog owner will have to take long walks in any weather.

Jack Russell Terrier puppies are recognized as passionate hunters and tireless athletes. Kids are characterized by an eternal search for fun and the object of the hunt. They love to be the center of attention. The puppies will not sleep peacefully in the corner, they are always ready to cause trouble, except for the mess, they will have to constantly keep the puppies busy. Children are always delighted with tireless pets. This is a come to life dream of a friendly, incredibly smart and tireless playmate for children. Kids adapt perfectly to any conditions - they feel great in a private home, in a city apartment, and are strongly attached to people.

The nature of the Jack Russell Terrier makes it impossible for older people to keep the dog. A sporty and athletic dog requires excess movement. He lives as comfortably as possible in a family where they love jogging and an active lifestyle. The Jack Russell Terrier is not devoid of attentiveness and learning abilities. Puppies are in demand among people looking to purchase a family dog, guide dog or gun dog.

As a hunting dog, the Jack Russell will not be an obedient toy, unconditionally following commands. The final right to choose is reserved.

At the same time, the dog is loyal and attached to its owner. In case of danger, he will fearlessly begin to protect a person. Will become an excellent watchman in the house. As a rule, Jack Russell Terriers are not particularly fond of barking for no reason. In a family, dogs are playful and sociable, open to people, and do not see humans as an enemy.

Brief history and “Mask”

The Jack Russell Terrier dog is small, but the breed cannot be called decorative, as it seems at first glance. The animal is a representative of a hunting breed bred for burrow hunting of foxes. Due to its small size, the dog moves freely in the hole. The smooth, coarse coat will not be a hindrance in a dark, cramped place. Incredible courage and powerful jaws help fight.

The breed is a little over two hundred years old. The history of origin, with possible subtleties and secrets, did not have time to become covered with the cobwebs of time. Once upon a time there lived a simple English priest, John Russell, who had the unexpected nickname “Jack”. In addition to spiritual matters, he showed a great passion for hunting and dog breeding. One day, without telling anyone anything for a long time, he began breeding a new breed intended for use in hunting burrowing animals. The fox terrier, popular at that time, was taken as the basis. To breed the desired breed, priest Jack compiled a long list of terriers, indicating the main advantages in hunting. There is some debate as to whether the father of the breed ever thought about the dog’s exterior, or whether his energy was directed exclusively at hunting qualities.

However, the priest achieved the result. Even if the appearance of the resulting breed remained indifferent, it turned out to be very successful. Not as serious and correct as other English terriers, but a Jack Russell is pleasant to watch.

If you've seen the famous Hollywood movie "The Mask", funny and bouncy Milo is a Jack Russell Terrier. Funny, restless, attached to his owner, often stubborn and independent-minded, like the main character of the film.

The release of the film The Mask marked a worldwide wave of popularity for the breed. At a crucial moment, the dog market turned out to be unprepared for such an increase in demand, which was hundreds of times higher than supply, and prices for Jack Russell Terriers soared to obscene levels. Sometimes the price for a puppy was an amount equal to the cost of a decent foreign car in the CIS countries.

Until 1992, the Jack Russell Terrier breed was not recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale. The description of the breed, which was not bred in purity, changed slightly.

Initially, the breed was bred for hunting purposes. The goal was to obtain a dog that was strong and durable enough to keep up with large hounds, and compact and agile to get a fox or hare out of a hole. The hunter's strong instincts have a tangible impact on the character and behavior of the dog. This creates periodic difficulties in training a dog, and disappoints people who, when buying a puppy, expected to receive a trained, obedient dog, capable of performing fantastic athletic feats on command literally from the cradle. No, the dog will need to be trained for a long time and carefully. Left to their own devices, representatives of the breed become uncontrollable villains, who are extremely difficult to calm down.

Is it necessary to dock the tail?

In accordance with the ICF breed standard No. 345, tail docking for Jack Russell Terriers is an optional procedure. There are also no medical indications for her.

Despite this, many breeders prefer to shorten the Jack Russell's tail, arguing that the dog's physique becomes more harmonious and the risk of injuring a limb is minimized (shown in the photo).

When thinking about what to do, it is important to remember that this procedure has a number of significant disadvantages:

• the wound can become inflamed and fester, and an infection can get into it;
• the natural balance of the animal’s body will be disrupted;
• motor skills will weaken.

In addition, tail docking is an inhumane treatment of the animal.

In European countries, Wales, England and Scotland, dogs with docked tails are not allowed to participate in the exhibition.

Walking the dog

The first walks with the puppy should not be long - 10-20 minutes a day is enough.

Over time, you should increase the duration of the walk - as the Jack Russell gets older, it becomes more resilient and it takes more time for him to expend energy, but you should always proceed from the physical condition of the dog.

Regular active walks are the key to your pet’s physical and psychological health, as well as its successful socialization, so you need to walk your Jack Russell every day, regardless of weather conditions.

It is important to remember that representatives of this breed are sensitive to temperature changes, therefore in the cold season they need warm clothes, and in the heat they should choose shaded places for walking.

You can walk your pet only after completing a two-week quarantine after the 2nd vaccination.
