Ready? Set? Go! Without a doubt, Jack Russell terrier mixes will keep you engaged and entertained. They’ve never met a stranger, and because they’re so doggone smart, they love tricks and games. If they could speak human, they’d likely give you a paw tap and ask when the next training session will be—in fact, you probably can teach them to talk! Get to Know the Parents of Your Jack Russell Terrier Mix Will your Jack Russell terrier crossbreed inherit all the traits of this fine pooch? It’s difficult to predict this. So it’s essential for your new pup’s wellbeing to research both parents of a mixed breed to understand the outlook for health, personality, and other factors. Patrick Singletary, DVM, owns Good Dog Veterinary Care in Marietta, Ga. He says dedicated dog breeders put in a lot of time, knowledge, and passion creating and maintaining a successful operation. So when a breeder asks you tough questions, they have the health and wellness of their dogs at the forefront of their minds. Make sure to interview them as well. “Responsible dog owners should also help to prevent puppy mills by devoting copious time to researching breeds, researching the lines of the dogs they desire, and interviewing the right breeder to work with,” Singletary adds. Since Russells live 12–14 years, you want any of the following Jack Russell terrier mixes you bring home to have the best life ever!

He can if he has a little Chihuahua Central and South American heritage influencing his Russell original English roots. You’ll swell with pride at how well this attentive sweetie responds to early socialization training (all the gold stars!) and how quickly he adapts to apartment living. Keep him active and engaged and you’ll receive so many appreciative licks.

A small but nimble breed, she’s a laser-focused working dog, always eager to learn and be trained in new tasks. She’ll thrive in an active environment where her brilliant mind is put to good use, such as deciphering puzzles, instead of getting into uh-oh mischief because she’s, as a teenager might say, “So boooored.” Jackabee (Jack Russell Terrier Beagle Mix) jackabee dog with beagle eyes and jack russell body sitting on pavement on a sunny day brown and white jackabee with jack russell terrier body Left: Credit: Courtesy of bearthecrook / Instagram Right: Credit: Courtesy of amaya_jackabee / Instagram If you and your family have an active lifestyle and love hiking and other outdoor adventures, this beagle and Russell terrier mix might be perfect for you. More than just an animated four-footed tagalong, a Jackabee is a loving and curious pooch, and you’ll play up his strengths by involving him in whatever you’re doing, especially since his hound parentage always appreciates a good nose workout.

The darling Boston terrier is already a popular choice for families because of her charm and playful antics, so a terrier twosome is hard to pass up. Experienced dog owners who love watching their pet pals achieve wonderful mental and physical feats (like riding a scooter!) will delight in teaching this particular Russell terrier mixed breed new skills.

So with this mix, also known as a Jorkie, there’s a double dose of plucky, spunky fun and 110 percent dedication to you and all other humans in the household—just don’t be surprised when they take charge! They might have more to say than other dogs, so learn why they’re barking and what needs your attention.

Both dachshunds and Russell terriers have instinctive methods for successfully tracking and capturing small game (And vermin. Ew.) So while you might not need them for that task, they’re longing for interactive pet toys, snuffle mats, and other ways to stay active mentally. They also love a good scamper, so consult your veterinarian to create the best exercise routine. RELATED: How Often Do You Walk Your Dog?

As wrangle ’em up and move ’em out herding breeds, corgis offspring get excited over outdoor toys and other games that help burn off bursts of energy before hunkerin’ down for end-of-day snuggles. Foxy Russell (Jack Russell Terrier Toy Fox Terrier Mix) jack russell terrier toy fox terrier mix on a beach Credit: Courtesy of tarzymooch / Instagram Another fine hybrid pup with terrier lineage has a toy fox terrier for a parent. This itty-bitty standout shines in a large way with an impish personality and exuberant energy that rival his size. Now, if not engaged daily with enough toys and leashed walks (he’s fast!), he might try to alter your landscape by digging a new hideout or some other roguish behavior. Talk with a canine behaviorist to ensure this pup gets top good marks.
