Buddy the Jack Russell (On Trial 22/7/14)

Buddy is a bubbly, 1 year old Jack Russell Terrier. He is an exceptionally, happy and bouncy boy. His joyful attitude rubs off on everyone around him. He loves to play, particularly tug-of-war, chase, and wrestling with other dog friends. He likes to be wherever the action is. He loves exploring and playing outside but he also likes to hang out inside with you. He is also a very snuggly young dog. As soon as he gets sleepy he becomes very placid and cuddly. He will happily curl up next to you on the lounge.

Buddy’s enthusiastic nature means he can't concentrate on training for very long, but when he does he is smart and tries very hard to do what you ask. He loves his food so responds well to reward based training. When he gets excited he does jump up so that can be a topic for some training. Being a young dog he needs to be provided with plenty of toys and other things that he is allowed to chew. We always recommend dog training classes so you can teach your family member to have good manners.

Buddy is capable of digging under fences, so his furever family's yard will need to have concrete or pavers or something solid at the base of the fenceline. He would also suit a large courtyard style yard.

Buddy’s ideal home would be able to give him the attention he needs. He is an active young boy who needs interaction with his people in the form of walks, training, playtime and cuddles. He needs to be allowed inside, at least when people are home, and to sleep inside. He is great with other dogs and really likes company so having another playful dog is highly recommended.

Buddy is a gorgeous, animated young boy who livens up wherever he is. He is such a great happy, loving little character, he will make a fantastic addition to the home he goes to.
