Jack Russell & Mixed Breeds

[vinjashira]

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.

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.

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

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"...

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
