Meet Bodhi
Jack Russell Terrier, 2 years old
My favourite thing about Bodhi is...
How he springs up from the floor into my arms for cuddles.How he can run for a ball for four hours,and I have to make sure he takes breaks to calm down and have a drink.
The biggest challenge with Bodhi is...
He can be a tad Barky, even though I trained him not to be..or so I thought. But only because he wants to play with other dogs.
The most surprising thing about owning a Jack Russell Terrier is...
Like all my Jrts he's full of life but I'd say moreso than any of my other Jack's abd terriers I've Been owbed by. A real live wire. Always up for fun.
What I wish I’d known about Jack Russell Terriers is...
Know the breed, they really are very active, very smart and learn easily, but also have selective hearing ,need a lot of interaction and good quality playtime.
Did you know
Reverend John Russell who developed the original Jack Russell terrier in the early 1800s was a founding member of the Kennel Club, and also bred other types of dog – however he never actually wanted the Jack Russell terrier to be a recognised breed, preferring that they were bred to fulfil a working role, rather than to a standard appearance. It is for this reason that the Jack Russell, while one of the most popular breeds, was also one of the latest to be recognised by the Kennel Club.
