Originally from England, the terrier was bred in England in the 19th century primarily to catch the European red fox. The Jack Russell Terrier is robust and alert. There are two types of coarse and flat coats. As a family companion and ornamental dog, the Jack Russell Terrier is suitable for living in an urban apartment.
As a working terrier, it must have the following characteristics: agile, alert and confident; balanced in length and shoulder height; medium size and bone mass, explosive and durable. The natural appearance of the breed is also important: a coarse, weather-resistant coat with a tight coat structure and a clean outline. The coat is available in both coarse and flat hairs. His chest is small and soft; enabling him to track prey underground, and his legs should be long enough to pursue prey. If he has scars or old injuries from his work, they will not affect his participation in the game, unless they prevent his normal activity or affect his ability to work . The appearance of this dog is so similar to the Chinese Field Dog that it is difficult to distinguish him as a breed dog for those who have not known this dog before. The neck is neat and muscular, slightly arched and of moderate length, gradually widening near the shoulders. The backline is strong, straight and slightly arched at the loin.
The body-length is proportional to the height of the shoulders, approximately square and well-proportioned. The chest is narrow and of medium depth, strong rather than heavy, supple and compact. The ribs are healthy and do not reach to the elbow. The tail is high.
The shoulders are long and sloping, well integrated with the back. The paws are round, cat-like, very compact, with thick and hard pads. The toes are moderately arched upward, not turned inward or outward.
The hindquarters are strong and muscular, smooth and well boned, with the hind knee joints properly angled and with the fly joints close to the ground and perpendicular to each other, providing propulsion in action. The paws are the same as the forelimbs.
The flat coat is coarse and hard and resistant to harsh weather. Flat but dense, dense, thick hair, not exposed under the belly and thighs. The coarse coat is coarse and hard and resistant to harsh weather. Short, dense undercoat, coarse, stiff, straight coat wrapping closely around the body and legs.
The entire profile is well defined except for the eyebrows and beard. The belly and under thighs are not exposed. Color white with black or brown markings, or a combination of all three colors. The dog is an athletic dog, and if he is cut off from exercise, it will not only affect the dog's beautiful figure, but subsequently his personality will change as a result. The Jack Russell Terrier is excitable and has a quick and lively personality. It can live peacefully with humans.
Energetic, his main attraction is his intelligence, enthusiasm, and patient temperament. Friendly and adventurous. Smart and active. He is resourceful, brave and stubborn at work, playful, energetic and gentle at home, not noisy, submissive and does not cause confusion. Loyal and an excellent gatekeeper.
