Jack Russell is a small-sized dog breed adored for high energy, playfulness, and intelligence. These dogs are loyal and affectionate with their owners, great at hunting, but may be stubborn as well.

Jack Russells live from 12 to 14 years. Their average lifespan is 13 years (which is longer than the average dog's lifespan). They are generally a healthy breed. Some ways to increase the chance of a Jack Russell living a longer life are proper diet and exercise, regular veterinary checkups to prevent or manage any genetic conditions, and proper dental care.
