I adopted a JRT awhile ago. He's four years old approx. I love and adore him! But he's crazy hyper. AND NEUTERED!
I often wonder what he was like as a puppy, I adopted him from a rescue that found him as a stray.
Anyone ever had JRT puppies, tell me what their like!
He maybe a Jack-Rat terrier, kinda hard to tell. He's intensely hyper and very emotional... but the love of my life!

They are very hyper until they are about 5-7 years old. Then, they'll calm down a bit but it isn't until they are older dogs that they make great little couch companions. One of my friends had a JRT that used to jump onto the back of the couch and try to nest in my hair if we would ignore him. Not to mention the jumping, barking, and crazy mad running. You just can't help but love them, though.

They are extremely high energy and compete well in fly ball or agility competition. There is also the JR races. If you join a class and teach him to compete, you may get an occasional night off as they are often too tired after class to do anything but sleep.
Have fun, one of my favorite breeds.

They are always hyper and always nuts. I call them mini cujos without the mean part
