My wife and I have a JRT and a Chihuahua. I don't reccomend this combination to anyone. The two breeds both want to be the boss and it doesn't always work out that way, especially at first. Luckily we got the JRT as a puppy after the chihuahua was already established so she is somewhat submissive to him but they still butt heads from time to time. Everything I have read says JRT's only get along with other JRT's. I don't believe that but getting another furry kid with as much energy as your current one is a good idea.

Since JRTs tend to like to be the boss, it would be best that you do not get another dog that would look to take over the house. Example, pomeranians are very cocky and confident- most likely would conflict with the JRT personality. While you do not want the other dog to be submissive to your JRT, you do not want your current dog to feel uncomfortable in its own home. It does depend on your lifestyle a lot and how the other dog gets along with your current dog, but the best advice I can give is not to bring another dog that has the same confident disposition as a JRT into the home. -Buddy P.S. best of luck in expanding your furry family!

It really depends mostly on your dog's energy levels. I know that most JRTs are very energetic, but make sure now to get a dog (of any breed!) that is lower energy. As your first dog gets older, they will have a hard time dealing with an unruly and far more energetic second dog. I would also evaluate your own energy levels and make sure to get a dog that has the same or lower energy than you. I have made the mistake of not doing so, and it is very hard to deal with.

Jack Russells are high energy dogs so I would get another dog that can match this energy level. Otherwise, dogs are dogs and will create that family pack so long as you (and other family members)remain the pack leader(s). I love Jacks and have had mixed Jacks and purer bred Jacks living in unison with mixed poodles, a chihuahua, a cocker spaniel, etc. Whatever animal you pick, your pup will love and respect. Have fun!!

We used to have a Jack Russel, and after a while we got a border collie as a 2 month old puppy. One of the best combinations I have seen with this 2 dogs. Best pals. Both are intelligent dogs, high drives and good family dogs. Dogs also learn from another, so the youngster will adopt to the adult dog's behaviour most of the times.

Just like people, Its not the breed that best matches but the dog. Each animal has its own personality and some just wont get along with others. Now as for picking a dog, select the breed that will best fit your lifestyle then find a dog to match you and your JRT. Often if you get a puppy that can grow with your family that can help with the older dog getting along with them. That way the older will normally be the boss in the pecking order and wont be Dominance issues.

Depends on your JRT! I have two jack russells, both of whom would probably prefer to be only dogs. They love each other and can't stand each other depending on the situation. But I would never think of having another breed, so I'd stick with another JRT (recognizing of course, that I'm biased).

I have a JRT and a Border Collie. They are both young and both love to play together which helps both of them work off all that extra energy. So I think a good age match is important. I don't think a smaller delicate breed would be appropriate as JRTs like to play rough and are quick and agile. So I think a smart easy to train breed that likes to play and is close in age would be a good idea. It also helps to start with one of the dogs having enough training to be manageable.

Jack Russells are known for have dog aggression so I would personally not recommend getting a second Jack Russell. I know a number of people who have a terrier and a Lab or Golden who get along well, so if one of those two breeds is a good match for your lifestyle they may be a good choice. It depends on the individual dogs though.

We have a Jack Russell and a Rat Terrier; both females. They have had a few spats but, basically, they get along very well. My Jack Russell is the dominant one, of course.
