So glad the breed I am passionate about is still bred primarily for working and so has stayed fairly true to its original standard. Sadly people are increasingly disregarding even that and allowing any colour way to be described as a JR - not a serious issue compared to some of those breeds but it still takes away from the dog's ability to do the work for which it was intended.

What colours have you seen in JRT's? Here we have the tri coloured, black and white and tan/brown and white.

Anything goes!!! Black and tan, black, red - and you try explaining to someone that their "pure" or "rare" black and tan Jack Russell is not so pure! The dogs were bred to have a white coat so that they could be distinguished from the quarry - a red coloured dog would easily be mistaken for a fox.

A good case for "buyer beware." Anyone who had done their homework would know what colour combinations JRT's come in.

If everyone did their research life would be so much better for the dogs.

That video was really heartbreaking to see how the dogs have changed through the years.

I'm sorry? What was there to "like" about the video? It's purpose was not to entertain but to educate. When you see what they have done to those breeds and how the breeders/judges/owners have placed appearance over the dogs' health it is very upsetting.

I know it is very upsetting. But what I meant about liking it because it tells you somethings people do.

The Chow Chow was terribly with all those diseases.
