It makes me so cross when people hear that we have a Jack Russell and they instantly react with "ooh nasty little buggars aren't they?!"

NO!!!! naughty

Where has this idea that Jack Russells are nasty come from?!?! Granted it doesn't help when Im with Ruby and She snaps at their dogs nose if she's on the leash but generally she's fab!! Loves children and squeeky toys and playing fetch. She's a sweetie!!

Does anyone else get this reaction to their Jack Russell?? Does it make you want to bop them over the head too?!

I usually get the response "They're super hyper aren't they?" YES! At least mine is. But he is a good boy and listens (most of the time). He is very smart and well worth any mayhem he may cause. It takes a patient loving person to raise any dog, not just a Jack Russel.
