Verzorgingsgids

Jack Russells need far more exercise than most small breeds. They are escape artists and need secure fencing. Their intense prey drive means care around small pets. Consistent training is essential.

Bewegingsbehoefte

At least 1-2 hours of vigorous daily exercise. Despite their small size, they have enormous energy reserves.

Vachtverzorging

Weekly brushing for smooth coats. Rough and broken coats need hand-stripping. Minimal overall grooming.
