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 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.
