hey um i bought a 13 week old jack russell, he was like any puppy just needed some traning and tought stuff like not to pee in the house stuff like that. When he bit my 6 year old brother i would hit him multiple times because when i hit him just once he kept doing it. so when i started to him more like multiple times, he is becoming visouse but now I tried something. no hitting and i gave him so treats and love…. and he stopped biting and grouly at me. could he be stopping because i showed him love? < thats my question

Yes,maybe he's been hit on before.I hate to burst your bubble though but that's what puppies do!You got at least another year of that to look forward to.Sounds like your doing good though.You just need to have a lot of love and PATIENCE!I can't stress patience enough.Also,you might want to get him some raw hides.All puppies are teething at that age and need plenty of stuff to chew on.

Most of them that we see around here have severe allergies to weeds, trees, grass, etc. Luxating patellas, poor temperaments, epilepsy and dental issues seem to be common in some of them too.

Because of the selfishness of other family members my JRT can only get an hours walk a day from me. (i have tried to tell them to walk her) She is treated right and we all lover to to bits so please don't say get her re-homed etc. I know that jack russels need lots of exercise but is an hour enough for her?
and yes, her walks are mainly off the lead so she has a good run.

As she's off the lead she should be able to get all the exercise she needs in a hour.

Im thinking of getting a golden retriever, but do jack russels like them?

as long as you introduce them the right way **with the jack tired and outside of the home** let them walk together before entering your house they will be fine

Research BEFORE breeding would have been the responsible thing to do. Here are a few websites with lots of info:

I have two parts to my answer.
I was given a Jack Russell when I was six and he was lovely. we had him from a farm and we picked him from a litter of pups. My father knew the farmer and knew of the reputation of the dog's mother and father. Both were good dogs. This said however he could be nasty when antagonised (usually by my brother) he however never snapped at me until he was old and I went to university. He then snapped at me when I came home for the holidays. We think it was his way of punishing me as he was fine when I moved back home again.

On the other hand my brother has a jack russell of his own now and I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her. However she is a rescue dog so therefore her background is unknown.

My advice therefore is make sure you know everything there is to know about the dog before you commit to it.

A female will have her first heat at about 6 months. The male is probably able & ready to breed at about the same age.
Small dogs can be neutered before they are 6 months - you want to spay the female before the first heat and castrate the male before testocerone takes over his life.
Early neutering cuts down their risk of cancer later.

I have Jack-Russel and a Pitt Bull and they seem to be a little too playful. The Pit likes to bite on the Jack Russel neck and I think that's too rough for a little Jack- Russel. And also, the Pitt is 11x bigger than the Jack-Russel

If they havent drawn blood on each other and dont scream, yelp, cry or whine. They are just playing. If the Jack Cant handle it he will let everyone know. Though its not good behavior to let ANY DOGS behavior become to dominant or too rough, regardless of the breeds. Teach both dogs to obey the NO command so when you think its too rough you tell them no and separate them for a while. Since if the Jack thinks its had enough and it starts a REAL fight, It doesnt have much of a chance against the other dogs power and bite.
