As far as I'm concerned, there is no other dog. The love and laughs that my Jacks have provided over the years is unmeasurable. I have had two wives, but my Jacks are with me to the end.

Pros: adorable, loyal, there is no competition

Cons: you had better be physically fit and able to devote lots of time and attention.

. . .has been so much fun thus far. She is a smooth coat and is truly a beautiful dog. She is accepting commands well and is very loyal. Fantastic breed for our family with young children, would highly recommend!

Pros: Loveable, active, obedient

Cons: NONE so far!

I rescued my first dog at the age of 7 months and 4 yrs later decieded to get another. Really really enjoy them but they do require work and training which can also be enjoyable. My 4 yr old loves fly ball and is good at it. If you want a dog to do agility, fly ball or any active activity this can be the dog for you

Pros: very entertaining

Cons: need plenty of excersise and not in the back yard and YOU must be the pack leader done with good training

My significant other gave me my Jack for Christmas in 2001 and the second he walked out of the crate he went over to a stack of newspapers in the corner to releave himself. We knew right then and there that he was a winner. We love him so much and would highly recommend to anyone in a dog search that if you have the dedication to keep your Jack excersized then they will be a good fit for you!!

Pros: So very loveable and loyal

Cons: Highly energetic, runs circles around you untill the whole house is asleep. I really feel like he can't go to bed untill he knows theres nothing he will miss.

In July of 2004 My family purchased our first family pet, a JRT. We named her May, and she remained part of our family for 4 1/2 yrs. On 12/14/08 her puppy was hit by a car, on 12/16/08 she died for no reason the vet could find. She took the loose hard, like a human not an animal, therefore i believe she grieved herself. She was great with the whole family and as lazy as could be, not your typical JRT. She will be missed greatly as will her baby boy Scooby-Doo. (JRT Beagle mix)

Pros: the most lovable loyal dog

Cons: this may or may not be a con but it sometimes seems like the dog is smarter than you

My dog is very loving and affectionate. She understands when you are happy and when you are sad. If you need comfort she is always there. She just recently had 2 puppies but one was recently given away. She was a very good mother except for when she didn't see the pups and just sat on them or when the pups tried to eat her food and she snapped at them.

Pros: Affectionate, Understands

Cons: VERY ENERGETIC. sometimes stubborn. sheds very much

Our JR Darby is a great dog, she is always so fun to be around and takes care of us all. She and my 2 year old daughter get along great and are the best of friends. We are always said when we have to leave for she doesnt like to be alone. All my friends like coming here to see her for she is so friendly. She is very unique all white with on patch of brown over hey eye and one brown ear, thats the only color she has

Pros: Very friendly, always happy to see you, fun to play with

Cons: really hyper when we get home, stubborn sometimes (mostly for my wife)

Beast is our male JRT, aged 1 yr, 3 mnths. He is just a perfect dog! He does the cutest tricks, loves the whole family (mom, dad & 3 teenage boys) and everyone who comes to visit. Of course he is adored by all in return. He is our youngest son's rugby team's mascot and loves going to the rugby, I'm sure he understands the game. He even watches TV and 'talk' to other animals. And he sleeps with me & hubby in bed... He is beautiful!

Pros: Clever; learns tricks easily, active, loving, protective.

Cons: None!
