Because of their small, compact size, Jack Russell puppies are almost too cute to resist. But you should not consider bringing a Jack Russell puppy into your home unless you are prepared for the care and considerations that these remarkable little dogs need in order to be happy and healthy!
Finding Jack Russell Puppies

Finding quality Jack Russell puppies for sale can be a challenge. Because the dogs are small, many people think it would be fun to breed a few litters to make back some extra cash on their new dog. Make sure that you are buying your new puppy from a quality, certified breeder. Check the paper for suggestions, but avoid the local pet stores, because these dogs often have shaky pedigree and sometimes have health problems.
Choosing The Best Puppy

The key to choosing your puppy is examining the temperament of the dog you are considering. Watch how he or she interacts with siblings. Find out all you can about the dam and sire of the puppy. See them if you can. If you are interested in pedigree, find a dog with pedigree that goes back at least three generations.

Remember that the personality of the parent dogs is going to be reflected in their puppy, so watching the parents, if possible, is one of the best ways to determine what temperament your new dog will have. Also, inspect all Jack Russell puppies for health. If your puppy appears healthy, but others look sick, you may want to choose a different breeder.
Jack Russell Puppy Supplies

When you bring you new Jack Russell pup home, you will want to have certain supplies on hand. You will need puppy safe shampoo right away, because these mischievous little dogs tend to get quite dirty! Also, Jack Russell puppies should be crate trained, so make sure you have a puppy crate from day one. Of course, as with all dogs, your Jack Russell puppy will need his own food and water dish, leash, and collar. You may want to have a small bed or blanket for him to call his own. And make sure you buy plenty of chew toys!
What To Name Your New Dog

Once you bring your Jack Russell pup home, you will want a cool, trendy name for your new dog. Find some great suggestions for Jack Russell names, and choose one that really fits your little guy. Remember, the name will be with your dog for the rest of his life, so take your time when choosing!
Caring For Your Jack Russell
