They are the smartest dogs of all the breeds, but they suffer from major separation anxiety. They are restless and very energetic.
My friend has a Jack Russell. He trained it to play dead, but not like other dogs. My friend pretends to shoot it, and it dramatically falls and plays dead. It's the funniest thing. You can train them to do practically anything, but they take a lot of work because they are so energetic.
Terriers are super hyper, they are bred to hunt... you have to keep her active... make sure you do tons of reading about the breed... you can find stuff online
"good" is a relative term when applied to dogs. A good dog is one who has characteristics that fit your lifestyle.
I think they are great dogs, but very energetic and lively. They need training and thrive on having jobs to do, such as Agility, Flyball, etc.
Here is a complete book on the web to help you with everything to do with your puppy:

not unless your active and energetic. these are the jumping dogs, I call them...with the right tlc and training..can be nice pets. Not my first choice for the first time dog owner. maybe the 5th choice or 6th even. basically its a terrier and one must like that type of dog, as they all are bred for specific reasons.
Enjoy and good luck with potty training!
totaly their loyal and great companians
Jack Russel Terriers should eat 1and a half a cup once a day.If you want to train your dog, you should give them a small treat and say what ever you want them to do.She should play with a rubber bone.
jack russells are very intelligent dogs, and prefer a female owner,to whom they are very faithful, and loyal.They have bounds of energy,so plenty of exercise,they are easy to train,and can understand commands.Can be very crafty,so go easy on the treats,most jacks do not like cats and will chase most small animals, birds,etc. it being in their nature as they were once used to hunt out foxes, etc.but with training by you, they will learn to kerb their desires. very loveable pets.
They can turn on strangers (and owners) and can be easily irritated when suprised or are in pain. Terriers can be biters. I have been bitten twice; once by a neighbors scotty as a child and once by a friends Jack Russell. Neither time did I provoke them. Somehow I was just inside their space.
Well that depends if their likes and dislikes and personality traits suits your perspective of a good dog. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/jack_russel... The Jack Russell is a working terrier. Terrier work requires a dog that will bark at prey so that the dog can be located underground and be dug out if necessary. As a result, Jack Russell Terriers are most definitely vocal dogs.
Jack Russell Terriers are also very intelligent, high-energy dogs – requirements of a working dog which must problem-solve in the field and work tirelessy against often formidable quarry. Due to their compact size, friendly and inquisitive nature, and intelligence, Jack Russells are popular as pets. Prospective buyers should be aware, however, that while these dogs may enjoy sitting in a lap, they are not “lap dogs” – they are dogs that require training and regular and consistent exercise to maintain their temperament and to occupy their minds. Jack Russells that are not trained on a consistent basis, or are not exercised regularly, may exhibit unmanageable behaviour, including excessive barking, escaping from the yard, or digging in unwanted places inside and outside the house. In America, several Jack Russell rescue networks have to work constantly to find temporary and permanent homes for Jack Russell Terriers whose owners could not meet these requirements for keeping these dogs as house pets. Prospective Jack Russell Terrier owners are advised to do their homework. Most Jack Russell Terriers easily mingle with children, though they do not tolerate even unintentional abuse. Most are outgoing, and very friendly towards other dogs, but a good number show same-sex aggression issues. Some JRT's exhibit a Napoleon complex regarding larger canines that can get them into dangerous situations.[citation needed] Their fearlessness can scare off a larger animal, but their apparent unawareness of their small size can lead to a lopsided fight with larger dogs if not kept in check. It is not uncommon for a Jack Russell terrier to be cat-aggressive, and homes with other small fur-bearing animals in them (pet hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.) would do well to think through the ramifications of bringing a working terrier into the house.
A ball is an ideal toy that is universal for all dogs to love to play with. Choose whatever seems to be safe (not small enough to be swallowed down your pet's throat, hard to digest, chemical-free, soft, smooth etc.), nice and easy to learn how to play. Play with your dog while using the toy and if she seems to like it, it stays! If not, change the toy and seek another alternative.
According, to Dr. Marty, the veterinarian renowned for caring for Oprah Winfrey's dog, Sophie. Under his care, one of her dogs has sustained its life to live up to 19 years. According to his website, more specifically, http://www.drmarty.com/feeding.htm/,... feeding natural substances prone to mankind is the best known quality food for dogs to digest rather than food-processed whatchamacallits that you don't have a clue what you're serving your dog. The same foods who are accountable for causing thousands or even millions now, or dogs to either sicken or even worse, unfortunately, die!
