Jack Boston mix ... who's who?
Hello,
We recently purchased a Jack Russell - Boston Terrier mix; he's 4 months old now. He looks, upper body, like a JRT mostly, but has those short stubby BT legs. I make the assumption that this means he's more JRT than BT ??? When I read up on the JRT breed I see lots of distinctive personality and training techniques specific to the JRT. My question ... should I consider him a JRT and apply specific JRT training strategies? Or just go with a more generic "dog" approach? See my next post for question two. Thanks for reading and appreciate any comments suggestions. Cheers, Eric |

Jacks can be stubby, though. If I recall correctly, short legs are a dominant trait, so if your pup has them, it does not mean that he is more Jack than Boston (not that that would even be possible if one parent was a Jack and one was a Boston). When I read up on the JRT breed I see lots of distinctive personality and training techniques specific to the JRT. My question ... should I consider him a JRT and apply specific JRT training strategies? Or just go with a more generic "dog" approach? What would "specific JRT training strategies" be? -- Shelly (Warning: see label for details) http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |
