i was just wondering if there was anything in particular to look for when buying a jack russells

Buying from REAL breeders helps w/GOOD dogs!
Some jerk making crap out in the backyard won't know SQUAT about dogs……any dogs,purebred or mongrel.

There was(is?) a genetic blindness problem-I can't recall the dog that was the main producer.

   The AKC changed the name - it's PARSON Russell, not "Jack Russell" now.

   i copied this off the internet: Some are prone to dislocation of the kneecaps, inherited eye diseases, deafness, Legg Perthes-a disease of the hip joints of small breeds of dogs.
   my jack russel terrier actually developed eye problems but he got better:) but apart from that he's healthy and most jackrussels seem in good condition.

   cant think of anything specific to jack russells but i know most of them are white and white dogs can have sensitive skin to allergies. (they can also get sunburn)
