    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

    Selecting a dog can be both perplexing and exciting. The one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's character will reveal itself.

    Finding out why a breed was developed, and the country and climate it originally came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and personality.

    Some breeds require much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also require time to cultivate: the boxer's spirited and extrovert nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

    The puppies of specific breeds can be very hard work in the early weeks but can make fabulous adult dogs.

    There are seven types of dogs:
    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog
    • Utility Dog
    • Hound dog
    • Terrier
    • Working dog
    • Pastoral


Jack Russell Terrier Temperament Personality

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.
