Jack Russell? Anyone got another guess?

Seems like a Jack Russel, yes. A lot of energy in those doggos

A coworker is a professional trainer of Jack Russel terriers. When properly trained they are really funny dogs, but they need A LOT of activity to be happy

Hunting breed made for killing small mammals. Not meant to be a companion dog. Don’t get one unless you plan on hunting something or have a rodent problem. There’s far better companion dogs or dogs suited for training various tasks. They are stubborn, hard to train and not to be trusted around other small animals or children. Too see what’s the natural state of a jack russel terrier look up ‘Ratting’ videos. That’s what they want to do and how much of a prey drive they have. It’s a working dog.

I have what I think is a Jack Russell mix. He’s great bc he will play ball all day and loves an adventure but he also could just lay in bed and be a little spoon all day too. He also loves kids more than any dog i have ever met. He’s awesome.
