Classic Jack! The 3 we have now are not classic. Two are long haired, one is longer than your average broken coat, the other one has hair so long that no one thinks he is a JRT. I had him DNA tested and he came out Fox Terrier and Australian Terrier. Both of those were what I expected. The 3rd one looks like a JR in size, body conformation and short hair but his ears stick up like a Fox Terrier. The long haired/broken coat Jacks are not as hyper active as the short haired ones and I should know, we have had about 10 of them in the last 15 years. Four were long haired and 6 were short haired. About half we took as rescues and half we bought.The longer haired variety is definitely my favorite of the two.

All of mine have been recue dogs except for this one. I got him from a family that loved him and treated him right but they lived next to a highway and couldn't let him outside off the leash. He's got a fenced half acre here with all kinds of bushes and trees to investigate.

Hoping to hear from the JRT rescue association tomorrow about a year old female. They said she was malnourished but otherwise treated well so she doesn't seem to have any issues.

You can really see the intelligence in their eyes.
