I WANT A JACK RUSSEL SOOOO BAD BUT THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE! DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A BREEDER OR A PUPPY SHELTER IN THE NYC AREA (THE BRONX IF POSSIBLE) THAT MIGHT HAVE THEM???
ALL IDEAS AND PHONE NUMBERS WILL BE GREAT! THANXS TO ALL!
They are expensive, and while you may want one, they really don't make the best apartment dogs.
They need to be exercised daily for nearly 45-60 minutes, or more, rigorously.

I have a 6 month old Jack Russell Terrier puppy. Ever since we got him, whenever I feed him, he eats like he's starving to death. No matter how much I feed him, he acts like he's never eaten before in his life. He's not overweight by any means, actually he seems a little too skinny to me. I know he does not have worms or anything like that. He's even choked a couple times before. How do I get him to slow down?
PUT BIG ROCKS IN HIS BOWL SO HE HAS TO PICK THE FOOD OUT SLOWLY!!

my son got a little jack russel puppy for his birthday and he wont go to the bathroom outside he will wait until he gets back in the house , a friend of mine said to try puppy pads
is that a good idea ?
Take the dog outside every hour on the hour to the spot you want him to go. When he does go in that spot, reward him PROFUSELY both physically and verbally. Puppy pads are okay, but it's a pain - you'll have to teach him to go outside eventually anyways. Personally I think they just confuse the dog - is it okay to go inside or not? The main thing is to keep bringing him outside whether you think he needs to go or not until it's ingrained in his head that's what he's supposed to do.

I have 2 jack russel puppies (1 male & 1 female) both 9 weeks old.
I am going to give away the female to my friend once I got the new bulldog puppy (male 9 month old) sometime next week. Will my male JR & new male bulldog will get along well?
What shall I do to make the two comfortable with each other just in case?
Breed doesn't really matter when it comes to dogs getting along. But you can just give them a lot of attention when they are around each other and encourage playing between the dogs. If they don't get along even though you've tried to the best of your ability then do not force it, because it may cause physical damage to one or both of the dogs.

Most days of the week, there is no one at home from 9ish to 4 ish, would it be okay to leave him/her in a dog crate? Obviously only while he/she is young.
no actually, at that age they can only handle a few hours at a time. the dog would hate the crate (and start to have anxiety while in it, possibly causing it to scream bloody murder all day and annoy the neighbors) because it would be forced to mess itself in their constantly. that would then help to create potty training issues for you. Also a puppy that has a crash course in crating is likely to become a chewer because it will have extra energy when let out.
Jacks are EXCEEDINGLY HYPER. they require a lot of supervision and love to test the boundaries that you establish for them. It would be much easier to raise a different breed with your schedule. also consider looking for a dog that has a head start on crate training.
Please try rescue adoption.

i just got a new jack russel puppy anyone know any good potty training tips and tricks or websites on puppy training
Establishing a routine with your dog is essential to good training. Your routine should include feeding times, bathroom breaks, playtimes, training and timeouts. Having a young pup is just like having a small child when it comes to potty training. Young pups, just like young children have very underdeveloped bladders. A young child does not necessarily know when they need to go to the bathroom until they are doing it. The same thing applies to your young pup. If only it was as easy to control your pups peeing on the floor as it is to control your child’s peeing on the floor. Your child generally wears a diaper if they are not potty trained, but putting a diaper on your pup is very impractical and darn near impossible. How long do you think a diaper would actually last on your pup’s backside before it is ripped off and shredded? If your pup is anything like mine, about 30 seconds. There is an easy way to know when your pup may need to go to the bathroom. Depending on your pup’s water intake, and amount of exercise, this chart can help you keep your floors and carpets protected from your pets bathroom habits. Approximate age to hours your pup is able to hold their bladders starting at 8 weeks of age, (General time your pup will enter your home to begin your lives together.) 8 -12 weeks of age (2 - 3 months of age) = 30 mins 12 - 16 weeks of age (3 - 4 months of age) = 45 mins to 1 hour 16 - 24 weeks of age (4 - 6 months of age) = 11/2 to 3 hours 24 - 36 weeks of age (6 - 9 months of age) = 31/2 to 6 hours 36 + weeks of age (9 months to 1 year+) = 6 to 10 hours These times may vary with your dog. Different breeds mature at different times in their life. A small breed dog matures faster than a large breed dog, so your large breed dog may need more frequent ‘bathroom-breaks’. It is always a good practice to take your pup out every 30mins to 1hour when you are home, even when they are older. Repeatedly letting your dog out will solidify your training efforts. When training your pup to go to the bathroom outside it is good to establish a routine as well as some familiar words to coach your pup into the right behavior. Every time you take your pup outside to go to the bathroom use the same spot as much as possible. The familiar smell of their urine will help them recognize that this is the spot to ‘go’. When you take your pup outside to 'go', say to your pup, "Go pee." or some other similar phrase over and over again until they actually start to go. With using this phrase over and over again the dog comes to realize that this word means to 'go pee' and you will have a dog that will pee almost on command. When they start to 'go' use the phrase again with a 'good dog' added. Give your pup lots of praise when they are done and possibly a treat. Praise is one of the most useful training tools you can use. Dogs respond better to praise than yelling. Just like us, dogs like to be praised for something they do right and strive to achieve praise. With established potty times, using the 'go pee' words and lots of praise your pup will come to understand where it is acceptable to 'go pee' and where it is not. This will make your life a lot easier and your bond between you and your dog will grow stronger. You should never give your pup the full run of the house, even when you are home, and never when your not home. Set up a medium to large crate for your pup in your house. If you don’t have a crate, a bathroom or laundry room will do, any place in the house that has easy to clean floors. Place towels or blankets, food and water bowls, a few toys and newspaper or absorbent ‘doggy’ pads in your dogs space. This area should be warm and inviting to your dog. Just like us, your dog needs its own area to relax. Giving them this space gives your dog a place to go when things become stressful for them, like when you have company over that may be to loud for them. This will also restrict the area your pup has to make a mess. It is against a dog’s nature to urinate or defecate in the same area they sleep in. Give your dog a big enough space so that they can ‘do their business’ away from their sleeping area. Some people take their pups out for long walks to tire them out before they leave them home alone. Extra exercise requires extra water intake, which will increase your pups urination and accidents in the home when left alone. If you feel the need to exercise your pup before you go out, do this a good hour and a half to two hours before you plan to leave. Let your pup out a few times before you leave to make sure they have emptied their bladder as much as possible. Remember your pup will have accidents, but with a little time and effort you will have a happy new addition to your family and a clean comfortable home.

They know that they cant ever replace this cute guy but really want another puppy that is a Boston Terrier/Jack russel mix.

Anyone deliberately breeding mutts is not reputable.

hi all i got my jack Russel puppy lastnite hes short legged one. smooth coated and soo good hes 11 weeks old. i no these dogs are small but how big will he get as he is a short legged JR.compared to the long leged JR
there are officially two types of russell terier, the parson russell terriers (longer legged version)ideal height of a mature dog is 14” at the highest point of the shoulder blade, and females 13”. the jack russell terrier (shorter legs) on average of 12-14 inches in circumference when measured at the withers so really there isnt much difference between the two breeds!! hope this has helped you:)
