When it came to hunting, people not only served as horses or sits as we always see in the movies, because they are small and fast, many dog ​​breeds were trained for this purpose.   Jack Russell Terrier takes his name from Reverendo John Russell, who raised in his time One of the best terrier races to hunt foxes in England. Jack Russell Terrier was raised from the beginning to help its owner in fox hunting, being especially trained to bark and chase the fox but never kill him. Since he was originally raised and trained for the purpose of helping in the fox hunting, Jack Russell Terrier still has a wild instinct that always allows him to be alert. It is not a puppy for all families, Jack Russel Terrier has a very active personality And also needs constant exercise, and by this same hunting instinct he has, he always wants to explore. So if you have a large garden or patio and you love puppies with a lot of energy, surely Jack Russel Terrier will become an excellent member for your family.

Jack Russell Terrier personality Are A small breed, but not for that reason we must expect a quiet dog. As already said, since Jack Russell Terrier was raised for hunting purposes, it is a dog that continues to be very active and needs a lot of exercise daily. Most likely, your pet asked you at least forty minutes of exercise per day, either with a long walk or with a good game session. Something we can highlight is that if your pet sees a cat or squirrel, even a hamster, his instincts will make him run behind him, and although he will not attack him, he will surely give them a good scare. Originally, this breed was trained to bark until it stuns the dam and corner it or make it flee as far as the hunter was found, he was instilled in searching for the dam, but never seriously hurt her, this task was left to the hunter.   That hunting ability is strongly embodied in them, it is something that comes out very naturally. Whether in the park or in the garden itself, Jack Russell Terrier is accustomed to digging, especially if he thinks that the house is suffering from a rodent infestation, or does not like a squirrel, or that neighbor's cat seems a bit intrusive. Jack Russell Terrier enjoys the human company, however, is not a good partner for young children or other animals in the family, they can even become aggressive against other dogs. The important thing to consider When a Jack Russell Terrier is raised in the family It is keeping it busy, enjoy having something to do, so planning activities for him is the best you can do to occupy his time and his high level of energy. Care of a Jack Russell Terrier puppy This fun and tireless race is not for everyone, and especially if there are already other pets, mainly cats and other dogs. Some of the puppies can learn to live with other pets when they are taken home at an early age, however, it cannot be guaranteed that they get along with each other. Before adopt one of these puppies We must take into account that Jack Russell Terrier breeding needs close attention and many games. If you are lucky to have a large and fenced patio, this race will be the most indicated for you. If you live in closed apartments, it is not impossible to adopt one, but you should keep in mind that these puppies will need much attention and games. The Jack Russell Terrier is definitely not one of those pets that will stay still and silently on a Sunday afternoon while watching a movie.  Jack Russell Terrier feed The amount of food recommended for a dog is different for each individual, as with us humans, the amount of food and calories we consume is directly related to certain processes of our body, such as age, weight, height, height, and even our metabolism influences. The same happens, not only with the Jack Russell Terrier, but with all the dog breeds that we can find in the world, they all need a different type of food, although some may coincide. The recommended for them is a portion of high quality food of at least 450 grams, twice a day, preferably in the morning and in the afternoon. Always keeping them very well hydrated, since being so physically active, they will surely need to hydrate more than other dogs (always maintaining a good balance). Of course, everything can depend on how good the food you give to your puppy, which is why it is always advisable to buy better quality food. Keep in mind that the higher quality, less amount you should use when feeding them. However, the details of their diet must be under the supervision of a specialist, who will be responsible for indicating the most recommended way to feed your pet.   The feeding of our little ones should always be an important pillar in their training as adults. In blue wolf we have feed for mini races. Jack Russell Terrier puppies The females of the race give us many signs when they are about to give birth, although they are not always very clear, we must pay attention to what they are silently indicating. The female will look for a comfortable place to bring the puppies to the world, probably stop eating and is noticed more worried, it is normal. It is important that Let's not leave our pet Alone at the moment, although they know what to do by instinct, we must be alert because the delivery could occur at any time, and the complications do not take to appear, more when it is a race of such small dogs. Despite its size, the female of Jack Russell Terrier can have 4 to 5 puppies at the same time, from the moment we learn that our pet is waiting for puppies we must give special care since complications can always appear and can be mortal for both the mother and the puppies. If you consider that your pet cannot conclude the delivery on your own, it is most advisable to immediately take it with your trusted veterinarian. Things to consider for its upbringing and adoption: It is easier to teach your dog to dig in a specific place, than to train him to break the habit of digging. It is natural in them. Raising a Jack Russell Terrier can be a challenge, since it requires much attention and exercises, and your habits are very difficult to break. If you are more to lead a quiet life, perhaps the best for you is to choose another dog breed. If you already have other pets at home, it is not advisable to adopt a Jack Russell Terrier, it is better to raise them from very young with other company pets, otherwise, they could react aggressively to them. Having a wide game place is essential. If you have a garden or patio, it is perfect, if you do not have one, the puppy will need large walks in the park or around the neighborhood. Due to their high level of energy, they will need more than one walk per day, or a great imagination from the owner to create games that make you spend your energy. They may not adapt well to a life in an apartment. It is necessary that the patio be very well surrounded. The Jack Russell Terrier despite its small size are capable of jumping more than a meter and a half high. We must be very careful when letting them play outside, since they can also use trees as an escape mode to the neighbor's courtyard (more if he pretends that on the other side he will find a dam to hunt). To take into account There are many things that we must take into account when Adopt a puppy. Sometimes we do not know the personality of each race well, but if this is not compatible with us, with our lifestyle, or with that of our family could become a problem. If you plan to enlarge your family by bringing a Jack Russell Terrier home you must take into account all of the above. Some dogs are very calm and their presence is barely felt, others are very large and noisy, other small and energetic. As is the case of our spoiled today. The Jack Russell Terrier still Hunting instincts have very marked, which were reinforced for centuries, from their origins.

The maximum that they can measure are between 25 to 30 centimeters high and, their ideal weight, is between 4 and 7 kg, depending on sex, although many can reach 10kg. Although they are small dogs, they are still vigorous, so they can feel comfortable both in long walks, as in short but fun walks.   The head of the Shih Tzu is round, with quite expressive and splendid black eyes that attract the attention of anyone around them. The face of these magnificent dogs is a bit flattened and with a little elongated snout, giving that unique touch to the head of the Shih Tzu that usually compare with the chrysanthemum flower, that thanks to the amount of fur and the shape that it takes. For its part, the tail is also of long and smooth fur, like your entire body, so you need a lot of attention and care to keep it beautiful. Being long, it can become a reason for disasters, because when the Shih Tzu is very excited, it moves it vigorously, getting some objects down. However, it is important to keep it from the same length and not cut it, as in all dogs, it is a very sensitive part not only from the aesthetic point of view, but also for the development of our little friend.  Shih Tzu's fur is what makes it so famous and splendid. We have undoubtedly seen these little canines with their long and smooth fur waving with the wind while walking or running down the street. It is a double layer of hair that can grow immensely, which means that maintaining this type of fur demands a lot from the owner of the Shih Tzu. Its fur can be of different colors, they range from white, reddish to dark and black gray. The best known and most beloved are those whites with dark brown, with small black circles around the eyes that resemble a "mask." There are also many owners who prefer to have their Shih Tzu with short fur, which does not subtract the beauty, charisma and loyalty of these beautiful dogs with their owners. What can we expect from the personality of our Shih Tzu? There is no more proactive race than that of the Shih Tzu, it will undoubtedly always wait for new activities and new challenges. It is one Recognized breed for having active and intelligent specimens, Without leaving behind his great loyalty, charisma and friendship with his owners and any other dog around him. The Shih Tzu walk with an incredible majesty, so that there is no doubt that they come from Chinese royalty. But that does not mean that they do not have a way of being friendly and playful with those around him. The Shih Tzu have great intelligence, even going through manipulators, since they are very insistent and ingenious to obtain what they want. It is good to have them busy in games and tricks that have fun both and their owners.   Something very important, especially if we live in an urbanization or residential area, is that The Shih Tzu are very little noisy; Although they can relate to all the dogs around them, it is very strange to bark any person or animal in their surroundings. On the contrary, they are highly affectionate and love to be surrounded by people who want to give them a lot of love, as well as other dogs with whom they can share and play. Being a small breed, they are not as energetic as dogs of large or more robust breeds. Although They can adapt to different types of training of medium demand or long walks. The best thing for the Shih Tzu is not to take them to the limit and give them some exercise to keep them fit but also maintain their energy and vitality to the maximum to continue sharing with everyone around them. Shih Tzu care Shih Tzu dogs are lightweight and dense, soft and long fur. Despite being a race that does not usually have serious diseases until reaching old age, their specimens need essential care to keep them healthy. The Shih Tzu breed is usually not lover of games in open spaces, they prefer to enjoy their owners in small spaces and do it daily. They also enjoy short walks, especially in the stations in which the temperature is higher.  Reproduction This issue is of vital importance for this race, so it should not be taken lightly. Shih Tzu females can have a litadas of between 1 and 8 puppies, although cases are known in which they have had up to 10 puppies in a litter. However, due to its small size the gestations of several puppies can be risky for the health of the dog. It is also important that both the male and the female are of adequate size, that is, that they are not very small, since this can cause the puppies to nad with malformations. Both the mother and the newborn puppies must remain in a dry, comfortable and warm place to ensure their healthy evolution.  Feeding Since it is a small breed, it has an excessively fast metabolism and a small stomach, so the space for storing food is not very wide, consequently it usually burns the energy at a very high pace. Motivated to this, they must receive small meals, but with a higher frequency compared to other races. The best way to ensure that our Shih Tzu maintain their energy levels is to distribute their intake at different times throughout the day, for example about 2 or 3 times in the adult stage.   It is also important to guarantee them a type of food that contains all the nutrients they need, through croquettes that adapt to the size of their mouths. A mini dog feed will serve. There are specific cases where some digestive sensitivity is presented related to food intake that does not correspond to their diet such as some vegetables or fruits. In conclusion, Food is a determining factor to maintain the well -being of our shih tzu. Bathroom and brushing As we have commented, the characteristics of your fur condition that it is easily entangled, so it is important to perform the daily brushing. Together with this, they have psaltone eyes that also They need daily care and cleaning To avoid infections. The bangs usually fall over his eyes, causing them discomfort. For this reason, some owners choose to let the bangs grow and comb it daily, or collect it back in a small bun. However, others prefer to regularly go to canine hairdressing in order to keep their growth under control. The daily cleaning of our pet's eyes to avoid possible eye pathologies is a fundamental task, since in the Shih Tzu race the development of eye diseases is common.   An ocular ulcer can be given by scratching or some blow that has gone unnoticed, so that the first symptom of anxiety in the eye must contact the veterinarian. A time treatment increases the possibilities of a recovery without sequelae. Eye problems, even those that do not seem so severe, could result in a condition in their vision or even the loss of this, so it is very important to pay the necessary attention to the eyes of our canines. The bathroom and nail cut are care that must be started from the puppy phase. A bath frequency of 1 time per month is recommended, taking the opportunity to perform a higher level of brushing and subsequently a complete drying. Since they are indoor dogs and do not usually wear their nails through the game in the spaces enabled for dogs, the most recommended thing is to make the nail cut regularly to prevent it from hurting, that unintentionally hurts their owners in the moments of play or spoils an object at home. Dental health On the other hand, it is essential to devote the necessary time to care for your teeth. Dogs of small breeds are usually more exposed to the presence of bacteria in the gums By accumulation of plaque, since they have the same definitive dental structure as the rest of the dogs (42 teeth), however, their jaw is smaller. Because of this, their teeth usually pass much of the time embedded in a spike pattern that causes bacteria to have more opportunity to accumulate and produce dental diseases.   In order to prevent this, it is advised that, from the 7th month of life, the daily cleaning of your teeth is carried out, with the use of a dog brush and cream for dogs. Once our Shih Tzu turns the year, this routine could be combined with the supply of a daily dental snack that promotes the chewed and encourages physical "brushing" on the surface of the teeth. Even in their posterior teeth, which are usually the most difficult to reach, and where the plate and tartar are usually accumulated more frequently. It is also recommended that the veterinarian review the dental health of our Shih Tzu during periodic control visits. This breed does not usually have serious hereditary diseases, however, they could present some potential problems such as small nostrils, back problems, snorted (due to its short and snout shorts), and heart disease with some frequency. These problems can be observed in the first months of life or already towards old age. Regardless of the case, evaluation with the veterinarian is necessary to rule out chronic pathologies or give the necessary treatment for our Shih Tzu. Conclusion Happy, happy, playful and nice are some of the characteristics that lead us to decide to take a Shih Tzu to our homes. We must not forget that they are a race that requires very personal attention and socialization. More than a pet, he is one more member of the family, and because he feels so comfortable with the human company, they will not be able to resist and will make us very easy to end up consenting them.
