The Jack Russell Terrier lives life at full throttle. With 138 listings on QuebecAnnonce, this British breed enjoys considerable popularity in Quebec. Its inexhaustible energy, sharp intelligence and bold character appeal to active families in Montreal, Laval, Quebec City and across Canada.
Weighing 11 to 17 pounds and standing 10 to 15 inches, the Jack Russell is compact and muscular with surprising endurance. Its coat can be smooth, broken or rough, predominantly white with brown, black or tan markings.
The Jack Russell is absolutely not a beginner’s dog despite its small size. Developed for fox hunting, it retains powerful hunting instincts and seemingly infinite energy. A bored Jack Russell becomes destructive. For active experienced owners, however, it excels in agility, flyball and all demanding canine sports.
The Jack Russell adapts well to Quebec’s four seasons. Its natural hardiness keeps it active even in winter. Minimum 60-90 minutes of intense daily exercise plus mental stimulation is non-negotiable. A high buried fence is essential — Jack Russells are expert jumpers and diggers. Consult the AKC for breed details and browse our Quebec dog listings.
