Tips on Grooming Your Jack Russell Terrier

    Low Maintenance: All three Jack Russell Terrier coat types are relatively low maintenance. Jack Russell Terriers should be brushed with a rubber brush when shedding to remove dead hairs.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Jack Russell Terrier Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an imperative part of general pet care. Combing assists to keep your Jack Russell Terrier dog's coat in good condition by taking out loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also serves to help to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a shining coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to decrease the need to bath and therefore lower the regularity of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Jack Russell Terrier dog are activities that help to reinforce the good relationship bond between your pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and comfy experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Jack Russell Terrier

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend on each personal dog. Dogs tend to differ in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their more recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats frequently require less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

    Some very short-haired canines may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should monitor the condition of their dog's coat, trying to find any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Jack Russell Terrier Information

The Russell Terrier is a strong, hardy, earth-working Terrier. He is full of life and moves with confidence that matches his keen expression. The breed's handy size, small flexible chest, nose, strong voice and fearless nature make it an excellent specimen to work vermin below ground. Its weatherproof coat may be smooth, broken or rough and is predominantly white with tan and/or black markings.

The Jack Russell Terrier is a bold, friendly, active and alert hunting terrier, built for work underground. This breed is notoriously fearless and requires little encouragement to go to ground. Aggression towards anything other than legitimate quarry detracts from the dog’s ability as a working terrier, and should be discouraged as much as possible. This is a high-energy breed and is happiest in an environment where there is lots of regular activity.
