Jack Russell Terrier, or now often refer to Parson Russell Terrier, are rather small but very active dogs. They do well in outdoor lifestyle, more suitable for rural or suburban homes than apartments. Jack Russell Terrier dogs have high energy, they require training and regular exercise to maintain their temperament and to occupy their minds, or else they may exhibit unmanageable behaviour, including excessive barking, escaping from the yard, or digging in unwanted places inside and outside the house.
