Lock jaw meaning tetanus or lock jaw meaning can they lock there jaws? No dog can lock there jaws. I know your hear novice dog owners saying pits can lock there jaw but its untrue. Pits are bred to bite and not release, doesn't mean they lock there jaws. So by any means if you were talking about tetanus then yes. Anything can get tetanus.

I have a 14 month old Jack Rat and I want to get a Jack Russel puppy around 2 or 3 months. Is it better to go with a male or female?
Either is fine. It all depends on your older dog's personality and how he does with other dogs.

For a couple weeks now I have been trying to get my APBT to not pull on the leash by stopping and turning the opposite way when he pulls, but it doesn’t seem to be working. He will do good and then go back to pull 5 minutes later. Do you think a gentle leader is ok for him or should I try something else? I could use any advise right about now….thanks!
Some people prefer haltis. I prefer a prong collar for my APBTs.
Fitted and placed correctly, they are extremelly effective, and cause no tracheal damage.

I don't mean to be rude…
but if you can't afford a vet you shouldn't have a dog.
Borrow the money from someone, your poor dog is suffering.

I am considering adopting a Jack Russell Terrior, and have 2 cats at home. Can they get along?
I love the fact that you are considering adoption. Good for you! Well, You should try it out and see. every dogs behavior to cats is different. the shelters will host a meeting between your current pets and the potential to pet to see if they will get along. is your mind set on a Russell? If not, speak to the shelter adoption counselor and they will help you in the process of picking out a dog that is great for your lifestyle. Even one that will be great with the cats. Quite possibly there will be a great dog there for you that is not a Jack Russell.
I wish you the best of luck! Thanks so much for considering adoption. It really is a rewarding experience.

I bought a gentle leader and I put it on him correctly, he kept on fighting it though and finally chewed it off. He has a history of chewing through collars/leashes, any ideas, advice?
You need to train your dog to stop chewing through its leashes. It's not going to stop unless you step in and command your dog to not fight against you when you put it on its leash. I'm not sure if you have a small or big dog, but our pit/lab mix is about medium sized and it took a good while for her to get used to it. Trust me, she didn't want ANYTHING to do with her leash, she thought of it as torture if anything, but after awhile she was getting used to it after we started rewarding her with treats after every walk session with a leash.
So train your dog firmly to not chew out of its leash anymore. It's going to take a lot of time, patience, and commitment, but it's worth it for the wellbeing of your dog. Be sure to always reward them with a treat after he does good with his leash.

around going for anyone goes near him hes keeping hes back down cant get hold of vet what can i do to help him no stupid answers
Sounds like he has hurt his back or paws, so that he is afraid to move (that's the most positive answer).
On the flip side, he could be paralysed, whether temporarily or permanently, but he is obviously in pain (that's the negative one).
Try ringing round all of your local veterinary surgeries, because one will have an emergency service.
Good luck.

is the Jack Russell Terrier a breed reconized by the CKC or AKC???
I've been trying to search it but it seems that the jack russell is not a reconized breed. I've noticed tons of people selling them online as CKC or AKC registered but how is that possible???
a few yrs ago, the AKC accepted the Parson Russell Terrier as a new breed…..this is esentially the same dog as a Jack Russell Terrier, yet the JRTerrier clubs would not allow their dogs to go to dog shows as a "beauty pageant" and wanted the dogs to be breed only for their dog traits and not beauty or looks… i believe they did not allow JRT's to be considered a breed to be "shown", yet now the Parson Russell Terrier is a recognized breed by the AKC !!!
