Welcome! I have a beloved Jack mix, Penny Lane! She is about 1 1/2 years old. I was told she is mixed with a Beagle (not completely convinced though). ;)

He is so cute I bet he is really loveable and loves his cuddles and to play I know Jack does to keep his coat from getting dry and itchy during the winter with the heating on when you bath him try putting some baby oil on him while he is still damp and his coat will stay shiny and soft I do this with Jack and it also prevents too much hair loss as well. Try it and let me know how you get on.

Penny LAne is absolutely beautiful she is the same colour as my father-in-laws Russell and you can tell that there is definitely a Russell in there. I posted a reply to Payson's owner about keeping their coat in the winter when the heating is on if she is an indoor dog - when you bath her while her coat is damp rub some baby oil on to her and this is for all short haired dogs and rub it in well into the skin it stops them becoming dry and itchy and losing too much hair - it works try it and let me know how you get on

Hi Snowy and vinjashira - check out my replies to Penny LAne and Payson's owners about keeping their coat in the winter - I do it and it works believe me

[vinjashira]

thanks jackmilliesmom, I'll keep that in mind. Snowy is broken-coated though.

[jackmilliesmom]

thanks jackmilliesmom, I'll keep that in mind. Snowy is broken-coated though.

do you mean her coat is hard and coarse - rubbing this oil in will help that also but make sure it is well rubbed in and before doing it brush her coat to remove any loose hairs but really try it it does work - My father-in-law's Jack Russell (also called snowie) had the same problem and he does it and now her coat is starting to become soft and more full.

Thanks, i'll try this. I just bathed her and Daisy this past Saturday, so it will be a few weeks before i do again. I love how soft their coats are after a bath, that would be great if it lasted longer...

[jackmilliesmom]

Yes it is worth a try my two dogs are not always inside but spend a good part of their evening and during the day at the weekends inside so this helps them.


they ahve their own house out the back of our house it is made of granite stone and inside they have a wooden kennel also which is well insulated and has blankets and cushions they are definitely spoiled....

Not all jack russells are smooth coated, some are rough coated and some are broken coated, like Snowy. :) boken coat is a mixture of smooth and rough coat - she has both

I don't consider her partly rough coat to be a problem. It's good actually, I believe the terrierman calls it weatherproof and it actually repells dirt. Snowy can roll over on sand for a minute and be completely clean again the next minute without having to be brushed, and she gets dry very quickly when she gets wet in the rain or when I give her a bath.

The only problem is the amount of hair she sheds :D I know what I was getting though when I wanted a Jack Russell, but I will try using baby oil next time as you suggested and see what happppens.

[jackmilliesmom]

I understand that but over here they are considered coarse or soft coated and not broken haired but sounds lovely and easy to keep clean not like me Jack is forever picking up dirt as he is soft haired.... Millie is longhaired and her hair is coarse so she is easy to keep clean except around unspeakable areas does anyone have any tips

Welcome to PetTalk.

I have a Jack Russell/Beagle cross named Georgie, a smooth fox terrier named Lucky and a smooth fox terrier/chihuahua cross named Pepper.

In the past, I was a breed rescue for smooth fox terriers, so I also got in a lot a Jack/Parson Russells.

[flowergirl]

I have a Jack Russell/Beagle cross named Georgie,
Would you post a picture? I don't think i have seen one before. I would like to see how much Georgie resembles Penny. Thanks!

[cali]

I have a possable JRT or mix named Perky, she is a shelter dog but acording to the JRTCA president she looks like a decent quality pure JRT lol I am not so convinced she has a little terrier attitude but not much, she would rather sleep all day then bounce around, she is terrified of my rodents, and she is way to smart and focased for a pure terrier lol I am starting to think she may be part BC, gieven how many pure BCs I have seen that could be her twin, and given that quite a few BC experts of mistaken her for a BC before seeing her legs lol so I suppose she could be a BC/terrier/something else, there has got to be something else for her to be so lazy lol

Here's Georgie, in all his glory. He's the sweetest dog we own ... but also the dumbest. ;)

Hi, welcome to the forum. I own an 8 yr. old yorkie mix, and I'm currently looking to adopt some kind of JRT or Airedale or Wheaten. Terriers are IMO the best group of breeds around. Low shedding (except for JRT, wow those little guys can cover your carpets!), great personality, and a good size.

[BOBS DAD]

folks tell me my bob is a jrt/mix. hard to say... he looks very different when soaking wet - very skinny. all that hair hides his shape well.

he s certainly a terrier of some sort. he does all that hyper stuff and can jump up and down kissing me in the face like a "jack rabbit"...

[jackmilliesmom]

Hey Bobs Dad you Bob looks like my Millie she is terrier cross and they look very alike. I am not sure about the JRT cross but definitely a terrier mix here are some pictures of her

[jackmilliesmom]

I have a tip from my vet about the shedding. When you bath them and towel dry them you should rub some baby oil into them that helps curtail the shedding you should try it it works does for me any way....:D

[theterrierman]

thanks for telling me that, jackmilleysmom. I've always wondered about how to reduce shedding, other than brushing. Especially with a dog like a lab that sheds 24/7.

I have three Jack Russells. They're all BYB bred though and really don't resemble the breed like they should. Micki looks like hes mixed with italian greyhound, Mini looks beagle-ish and Kyra resembles a chihuahua. Oh well, they all definitely have the terrier attitude and are very skilled in the rodent hunting department!

[katrina]

awww your jack russells are all so cute! :D i used to have a jack russell years ago, today i have a german shorthaired pointer. :)

[jackmilliesmom]

Do you have any pictures??? Would love to see them by the way what does BYB stand for sorry my shorthand is not great....

Of course..I have TONS of pictures! :D If you do a search under my name you could find plenty...

Here's a thread with Micki and Mini pictures

And the most recent Christmas photoshoot (with plenty of Kyra)

BYB stands for a backyard breeder...basically people that have two pet dogs and think it'd be a good idea to breed them (without health/temperment testing) and most just want to make money. Micki and Mini's litter was supposedly "accidental" but I'm not sure that that was the case.

I used to have a Jack Russell mix named Oliver. He is in Heaven now. I also have an 8 year old Rat Terrier
