Fans of this breed continue to breed Terriers of that size, though they are different from the Jack Russell Terrier, which one can now encounter both on farms and in town. The Jack Russell Terrier is more a type of dog than a breed. One very distinctive feature of this dog is his short, somewhat bandy front legs. The Jack Russell’s coat can be smooth and wiry; the color is mainly white with chestnut, lemon yellow and black spots on the head and tail. This dog is a very good pet for a family leading an active life. Grooming is simple, he doesn’t need much food and it’s easy to teach him good manners.
