Hi all
This is my jack russell meg she is two years old and a great little worker,
I trained her to hunt and flush game and works to a whistle the same as my
labs used to sadly there gone now, She is only small but she has a big heart
and will pin a wounded bird to the ground. she will retreive partridge but not a
pheasant but the thing she loves best is squirrels she'll kill and shake every
one i shoot she really is great little pal.

Thanks Dave.

Great little dogs, Dave. I've had a couple of JRTs over the years and most recently a pair of littermate rat terrier/beagle mixes, Bonnie and Clyde. I haven't encouraged them on birds as I have a pointer for that, but they are great squirrel dogs and will take on just about anything as shown below.

Yes Calvin, that's old Ringo bringing in a phez that was shot over water. My two old JRTs, Jack and Dolly, as well as B&C, worked well with the Redbones; especially when a critter was "treed" in a hole. Also as kill dogs; often the big hounds would stand back and let the little ones do the dirty work.

I like JRT's but have never owned any !

Always had Border Terrier or two !

Borders stayed in the house and the setters stayed in the kennel

Great pictures..love those little dogs.
I have a Fox Terrier mixed with a Bull Terrier named Jack.
He trees anything that can run and climb,anything!
If they can't run or climb or just too slow then they are just S.O.L.

The jack can not even compare to a Patterdale.
