Mixed Jack Russell and Pug
“Jak” is the same miniature dog as his parents. Perhaps he will be somewhat squat than a Jack Russell. He is more plump than muscular - an excellent “warmer” for the owner. The hybrid has dense short fur, color - white, fawn, “tanned” or black.
The Jak is a fairly popular mixed breed. This is an energetic animal that requires adequate exercise. But, like the parent of a pug, a mestizo may have breathing problems - jogging and exercise should always be under the control of the owner.
By purchasing such a pet, you will get a mischievous and curious puppy, the best companion for jogging. And in the evenings - the family dog, who loves “cuddles.”

Jack Russell Terrier: brief characteristics of the breed
The Jack Russell Terrier was developed about 200 years ago. The fast, agile little creatures became very popular among hunters and are still loved by active dog owners. A brave, active dog with a sharp mind and great intelligence.
Small size contributes to the animal's skillful hunting abilities. The dog's height is usually 25-30 cm at the withers, and its weight is about 5-6 kg. The predominant color is white with black or brown spots. Based on the type of coat, representatives of the breed are divided into smooth-haired, wire-haired and long-haired. Brocken is the name of a Jack Russell with an intermediate coat type.
Mixed Jack Russell and Yorkie
Yorkie-Jacks are more similar in appearance to Yorkshire Terriers. However, they get their character from the Jack Russell - the hybrids are just as curious and energetic.

By wool type
The coat of Jack Russell Terriers is noticeably different in appearance and hair structure. In the standard description of the breed, 3 varieties are distinguished:
- smooth-haired;
- long-haired;
- intermediate or broken.
The main purpose of these dogs was to hunt foxes and other animals living in burrows. For unhindered movement in a narrow underground space, the most dense wool was required. Preference was given to smooth-haired individuals. A characteristic feature of their fur was coarse, thick and short fibers. The coat fits tightly to the skin and does not bristle in different directions. The presence of a thick undercoat protects the animal from adverse weather conditions. Proper care of a short-haired pet requires regular combing and washing once a month.
Long-haired terriers look very comical: they have a short beard, thick eyebrows and a fluffy coat. The long coat has a thick undercoat. The villi are thin and hard. This type of Russell is also called wire-haired (“stiff”). Proper care of the hair requires regular trimming - plucking out dead hairs. The manipulation is carried out by a specialist groomer. It should be remembered that animal fur can cause allergies.
The intermediate type of hairline is called brocken (“wool with a break”). It is characterized by a long, coarse pile that tightly fits the animal’s body. Dogs have no eyebrows or beard on their faces.
Another type of gestures is rough. The name comes from the English word rough - broken in several places. Rough fur coats have long, coarse, curly hairs that stick out freely in all directions.
When looking at puppies, it is difficult to determine what type of coat they will grow. Distinct signs of fur appear only upon reaching 3 months of age. When choosing a future pet, you should remember that one litter may contain babies with different hair types.
Mixed Jack Russell and Beagle
Jackby sizes vary depending on the size of the beagle parent: pocket or standard. Color can be black, brown, white. The ears are large and flexible, like those of a hound.
These are inquisitive and friendly pets who love to spend time with their owner and his family. They love traveling and going into nature because of their hunting instincts. However, the pet should still be kept on a leash so that the dog does not get carried away in pursuit of the “prey”. Please note that Jackbies, with their fast metabolism, love to eat.

Mixed Jack Russell and French Bulldog
French Jack is one of the most playful, outgoing, friendly dogs who loves to spend time with his people. He endures loneliness calmly: he simply sleeps while waiting for his owners, filling the area with bearish snoring. This is an intelligent, but stubborn animal: to train a French Jack, you need to be able to be demanding and strong-willed.
As for size, they are similar to Jack Russell Terriers. However, the mixed breed is somewhat bulkier and plumper - this is the heritage of the French bulldog. This pet has a crocheted tail, a flat muzzle, and long and cute ears.
