I don't think anyone is trying to be a smartie, we are just strong believers in doing your reseach before getting a new dog. A lot of people don't relieze how much work dogs are and way to many people dump dogs when there starts to be a problem. JRT are very high energy and need an active life style to be happy. The puppy needs ALOT of excersice and play. Is the dog yours or your parents? You need lots of chew toys, puppy classes and patience to get through the next 6+ months. Can someone else come walk the puppy while you are at work? Your parents can play fetch with the puppy inside a few times during the day to help. Can you come home at lunch time to take the puppy for a walk? Can the puppy be crated a tleast for some of the time you are at work? Find a local dog trainer for help. Good luck with your puppy!
