The breeder of this dog, It was said , was a young Theologian student of Oxford University named John Russell. He one day met a milkman with a white terrier that had spots on his eyes and ears. This dog became an interest to him which later proved to be his foundation for breeding a new dog breed that many have come to love as pets.  Another 60 types of terriers were later bred from the dog he first saw. With a terrier's basic nature to go over the ground (terrier came from the Latin term "terra" which means earth), Jack Russell terriers also have the inclination to hunt.  Thus, you will be grooming this breed often because of the dirt they gather from digging soil to either bury a treasure or to recover a hidden treasure kept long ago. A superior "ratter", Jack Russell Terriers prove to be excellent "housekeepers" since they keep most rats away from the home. Any unfortunate rat that happens to be inside the quarters of this terrier is sure to meet its instant extermination. Thus, owners find themselves with both a dog and cat in one pal. One basic character of this dog is its temperament towards strangers. They can easily decipher who must be kept away from their homes and who can be accepted into the house. This very dispostion also makes them fine watchdogs. They were designed specifically to be aggressive on preys. And while they can be very vocal, many of them only bark when they find good reason to. They do not appear vicious though. But once they smell a threat, they can show off aggressiveness that could serve as warning towards the strangers. However, once the stranger is let into the house by the owner, a Jack Russell can already tolerate his or her presence. This terrier is also a family dog and desires human companionship.  Their love for children is significantly interesting. However, once they are abused or had been shown cruel treatments, may it be intentional or accidental, they can react through aggressive behaviors. Their aggressiveness is further manifested with their lack of fear towards larger dogs which can regrettably lead to injuries, some can even be fatal. They are also marked for their intellect and good spirit. These characteristics can be highly observable through their inquisitiveness in things. Thus, they require supplementation on formal training unless you can tolerate difficult behaviors. The good thing though with Jack Russell is that it can acknowledge training and do well in most of them. In fact, they are known to champion various ring shows and other similar competitions. Hollywood has recognized the disposition of these dogs as well. Coupled with feisty and good physical characteristics, this playfellow has already made names in the screens. If Wishbone, Milo (from The Mask) and Eddie (from the Frasier) ring a bell then there is no doubt that you can recognize this dog. Jack Russell fair well with grooming. A dog of relatively small size, this breed will not exhaust you with grooming needs.
