Featured dog breed of the month: Jack Russell Terrier
The Jack Russell Terrier breed- also known as Parson Jack Russell Terrier- dates back to 1700s England. Bred to be a pack hunter, the Jack Russell can be difficult to train in basic obedience because the dog's hunting instinct is so strong that it can’t concentrate on your commands. But with some patience, Jack Russell’s can be taught to do a variety of advanced tricks because this dog breed is highly intelligent. That’s what makes it one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Surprisingly, this terrier was only granted registration in the American Kennel Club in 2016.
