Jacks hop because its easy for them. their legs are set at just the right angle and lenght to give them the right force to hop. they have powerful back leg muscles which allow them to get pretty good distance while hopping or jump up in the air pretty dang far. this is why they are the perfect dogs for agility contests.
Yes jack Russell's are good house dog I've got two and they are very good in the house!
No all types of dogs have a different temptation to lick. Jack Russell's lick themselves to look good and tough. You don't need to worry about it. Its normal.
The Jack Russell is a smaller version of a Fox terrrier. A Fox terrier is derived from a wolf. I belive they just kept breeding small-legged Fox terriers until they got the Jack Russell terrier.
I don't think a jack Russell is good for an older person it's too hyper and need a lot of walking not good for an elderly women Answer Young dogs take a lot of energy and care. Better to get a well-trained mature dog that can independently use a dog door.

Herding breeds are usually the best agility dogs. Example Border collies and Blue Heelers. But also Jack Russels and other small high energy dogs can make great agility dogs too.
mabe you can try ( i am using shiba inus) All dog breeds are good to try, I usually use the bigger dogs.
If the apartment or condo is small then no. Jack Russells are very hyper little dogs and need lots of space to run around in. I have one and she is very hyper. So Jack Russells arent really good in apartments or condos.
Yes, dogs are very good jumpers and will jump for various reasons. Some dogs can jump fences over six or seven feet high.
if the Jack Russell is in good shape yes, yes it can. Unless you have like the worlds fastest golden retriever or something lol :)
sometimes they can be a handfull but depends on the dog
I have a Jack Russell I need to find a good home for because I cannot give her the care she deserves. My husband helped me with her care and he is passed on now. What do I do?
