My Jack Russell Terrorizer is 11 pounds of fury and has "little dog" syndrome. She doesn't know her own size and will take anything on. She herds cattle, lands large catfish after I reel them in, kills a possum faster than a .22, and is relentless in pursuit of any varmit unlucky enough to end up in my yard. She's tolerant of most people but doesn't like young children rough housing with her. That being said, she's my constant companion, my shadow, and I have no doubt she'd lay down her life to protect myself or my family. Best dog I've ever had, bar none.

I've been wanting a small dog that I can go hunt with and it also be a good family dog. I have had rat terriers all my life, but I am thinking about getting a Jack Russell. My buddy has a shorty Jack and it is a hunting and tracking machine! My question is, is there a difference in the drive between a shorty Jack and a normal size Jack Russell?

No. Drive is a individual characteristic. Seems pretty high in all of them, depending on what they like to do or chase. My male is high driven in anything he does. My redheaded female is pretty much the same. My tri-colored is the same except for bloodtrailing....she gets bored with it. Any visual stimulus and she is game. That being said, she throws some good blood trackers.
All above statements are true from other posters.

I am wanting something with a high drive, that is willing to track and be a hunting buddy. I think a Jack Russell is what I need

I love my Jack. She is pretty low key. Great family dog and a hunting machine. She loves to track blood. Never really trained her she just does it.

I like mine. Very loving dogs. I have had no issues with children, with the exception of them jumping up on them to be petted. My male goes with me just about every where I go. We just bought another dog from James Miller(KillerMiller) on here. She is gonna be a good one

When is your next litter planned?

[Quackerbox]

Our first is jack is 4 and the new one is still a pup. I'm lab person through and through but these Jacks have gotten to me.

We've never had an issue with ours around kids. She's never met a stranger. Loves the woods and the water

raccoon hunting machine?

Mine is half JRT and half Feist. She is 9 months old and wide open. Loves the grandkids, loves to ride, and is learning the tracking thing right now. She likes to ride the 4 wheeler too. Her grandfather was a killing machine, her dad not quite so much. Their biggest issue is intelligence. They have too much of it. And they need a job to siphon off some of the energy they have.

Jack Russels are great. Ours is good with the Family. I do watch him around people that are strangers to him. They are protective of the household. They are tenacious little dogs. The one we have can and will track but was never trained professionally. My next one I purchase I am sending it to a professional for blood tracking.

I have experience with only one, my wife's dog. I refer to him as Roper the Jerk Russell. He's a real jerk, vindictive, food aggressive and untrainable. He is motivated only by his own desires, and bows up when scolded. He's house broken and knows how to ask to go out, but refuses to and in fact will use his poop and pee as weapons. For example, if he's angry at you, for some unknown reason, like maybe you switched his food, he'll come crap on the bath mat......while you're in the shower....so you step in it when you get out. If he sees you give one of the other dogs something he didn't get, a treat, medicine, whatever, he'll pee in their bowl first chance he gets. He cows down to nothing and nobody. He bites, and when he bites other dogs, he goes for the eyes. He's such a jerk that his instigation finally got the better of my golden retriever, who wouldn't hurt a flea, and Rusty the Golden whipped his butt, costing me $750 to have the vet repair his broken hip. He's getting old, pushing 15, and when he dies, I'll NEVER own another Jerk Russell Terrier.

It never too late. Its natural.

Me too, I wished we would have trained ours

Whaddup Sadie! (JRT of Paul of DoubleG Archery. She looks short legged. Tracked her first deer this season and got it good.)

Ive always wanted a JRT and eventually will or Rat. I love how theyve been described for their breed to..."run with horses on a hunt and then at the end of the run to get into the fight"...that is cool.

Luremaker...I hope you add a JRT to your team.

God bless JRTs.
