They are the most determined dog I have ever owned. Their courage is limitless until they day they draw their last breath. My Jack Russell taught me alot. I still miss Conan and so does the whole family. Smart dog, good family member. Heart of a warrior. It's been 5 1/2 months since his death and he lived to be 17 year s old. I loved that dog. He stayed headstrong to the end.

My favorite dog is the Chihuahua, but I do realize that they are not for everybody. Of course you have to teach children how to treat any animal, but Chis are easily hurt . I had an 18 month old Chi when my youngest son was born. She adopted my baby the day I brought him home from the hospital and watched over his baby and toddlerhood from that day on. My son was a strapping teenager when that Chi died at age 18 and in her last illness, her beloved boy was the only one that could get her to eat. My grandchildren love the Chi that I have now and she absolutely adores them!

My Jack Russel was the best dog I ever had but he was a lot of work, if I left him alone too long he would find a way to escape he jumped up on top of the kitchen counter then on top of the refrigerator and opened the window and let himself out. He then went searching for me and he traveled half way across the city crossing many very busy streets he went to his mother and sisters house where their owner called me and told me he was there. He did that again once and I nailed the window shut. When I was gone to work he would cry and howl and sounded just like a baby and I got a visit from child protective services wanting to know why I had left my baby in the house. One day we were driving down the street and went past his favorite park and he jumped out of the window to chase squirrels. Another day we were on a walk and he got out of his collar and ran down the street and went into a bar and jumped up on a barstool for a drink of water. Once he ran out the door because he saw a squirrel and he ran right into the street and a car came and drove right over him he ducked down and missed getting squashed I can’t get that picture out of my head. The thing he loved the most was me he would lay in my arms all night and was the sweetest little boy he loved to be wrapped in a baby blanket and he thought he was a baby so spoiled he hated me watching tv or videos or working on the computer and when he got mad he would run over and pee on the vcr. He blew up 3 vcrs like that. Overall he was my best friend faithful and loyal to a tee I miss him so much and sometimes he visits me in my dreams.

Who says border collies are small? Lol

I got two Jacks... everything in the video is true XD But also: they are the most loyal and compassionate dogs, love them to the moon and back.

I was expecting a Beagle on this list. Guess jack Russel and Dachshund covered the same issues.

"Small Dogs" "No. 7: Border Collie"...Is there a miniature variation I don't know about?

[davef]

I'm so glad you did this list for small dog breeds! Nicely done. Well considered, well written, well edited.

[celestejohansen]

Thank you for featuring the ACD! When I was breeding Heelers, if people would call on a puppy and ask “do they shed?” “How big do they get?” I would instantly tell them, “You need to find another breed of dogs!” I want my pups to have forever homes! You have to know exactly what your getting!

My Jack Russell was a very good dog, easy going and loyal. He was a rescue that I took in when I was younger and he became *my* dog, not the family dog. He started out with a lot of behavioral issues where he was weary and seemingly aggressive towards strangers, couldn't have another pet, etc. But with time he started adoring strangers wanting everyone to pet him, LOVED children and liked people giving him belly rubs. We actually got a rabbit and bird later in his life who adored him.

I sadly lost him in December when he was 14 years old, and I miss him so much. It took a while for my bird to get over the loss of him as well, as there was a noticeable shift once Milo suddenly didn't sleep next to his cage anymore.

I would give up so much to have him back, and I absolutely love and advocate for the breed as they're amazing dogs.

I would love to have another Jack Russell sometime in the future, but for now I get way too sad when I see them ❤

Once again you have produced a video that is both informative and essential to all would - be dog purchasers.
You really are helping new owners to choose which breed of dog they should rule out.
This could and will save much heartbreak and expense farther down the line, not to mention wrongly chosen pets abandoned or left in shelters with a bleak outlook on their very survival.
Good on you mate.
I wish you rainbows of course.

Hi! I adopted a JRT from our local shelter and he's a great dog!!! We love him so very much!!!❤️He was 8 yrs old when I adopted him and he's now 11. His previous owns did a great job training him!! He's a super happy dog that is full of energy!!!! He loves to cuddle and give kisses!! The only issue is that he does not like to be corrected but since he loves his treats we can easily redirect him with the goodies😄 With the right training JRTs make great dogs and I'd get another one in a heartbeat!!!!👍🏼😍

Actually my Jack Russel loved small animals and birds. She was there when our kittens were born and our budgie loved riding her. The only animal she hated was squirrels.

The first dog I was ever fully responsible for is my Shiba inu (we had 2 family dogs but they were mainly my moms) but let me tell you, he was such a challenge to train but totally worth it and I think a great experience, I was 13 when I got him and he definitely taught me a lot or responsibility and patience

My first love was a fox terrier, gifted by a friend after my dad suffered a heart condition, he said dogs can help people heal. He was right, but ohh little did we knew the traits of a terrier.

Rolly was witty, super energetic, very smart, loved hanging around his humans, loved a good long game of tug of war, and had a super sense of hunting (he had hunted numerous spiders and mice, and tried to take down a king cobra once when he was just a pup).

Seeing videos about JRT reminds me so much of him. We lost him a week after his 9th birthday, far back on 2012, due to cancer, but we still miss him until this very day. We quickly learned that terriers aren't for beginner dog owners, but now we'd adopt a terrier any day.

My first dog was a Basenji. I got him at 12 weeks old and trained him in the ways of my single person household. They need to be crated when you’re not there but he never gave me any problems whatsover. You should, however, be able to walk him at a fast pace (on leash). They’re not for the lazy. They’re barkless and very clean little guys (or girls).

I own a Pomeranian and had two other Poms who died naturally and all three were great with kids. The children were taught from the get go, one from a baby to never tease them or take their toys, and the youngest granddaughter as a new born was raised with all three, two of them were older, and made the adjustment just fine. I made sure that they were with me and her when I was holding her, and they never felt left out, the same with Teddy now. I have never had an incident. Teaching respect on both sides is the answer. Teddy loves my granddaughter and will protect her if she gets a time out. LOL He also likes to sleep with her.

[zapbrannigan]

My chihuahua loved people. Even people that she had never met. She was one in a million. Also, she rarely barked. I miss her.

[lillaneechristensen]

My first dog was a Jack Russell and I loved her, but she was, indeed, so much work. She was so easy to train, had so much energy and was so curious. She hated other dogs and the only time I couldn't make her stop doing something she wasn't supposed to was everytime people walked past our fence. She would bark like crazy and not stop until she couldn't see or hear anyone anymore. She also had seperation anxiety from just me out of my entire family, which was hard since I was usually the last to leave in the morning. However, the best dog I've ever owned.
