About the short legged Jack Russell
In USA, the long legged dogs have been recognised by the AKC & JRTCA as the real Jack Russell terrier. Some long leg fanciers consider short legged Jacks as virtual imposters and refuse to acknowledge them as Jack Russell terriers.
Those who live with, and love, the shorter legged Jacks, (often called "shorties" or "Puddins") would disagree. The shorter jacks never pretended to have show characteristics. Instead they were bred to do a job somewhat different to the long legged jacks. The shorter legs were perfect for hunting on foot. These little dogs were unrivaled as all-round hunters and exterminators of vermin in the field and around the farm. The latter talent made them popular at horse stables where they not only controlled rats, but got the attention of riders and grooms, who often took a cute puddin pup to their homes. Non-horsey friends who met the irresistible scamps, adopted them for pets, and the puddin Jack took over as the popular image of the Jack Russell terrier.
Jack Russells are cute, loving, and lots of fun. But every bit of fun is mirrored by an equal dose of work and worry. Taking care of a Jack Russell takes time, energy, money, and commitment. For that investment, you will get back very few tangible rewards. That proves that you CAN buy love - just make sure you get the best love money can buy!
