Prepare for unexpected vet bills
Jack-A-Poos are the affectionate mashup of the Jack Russell Terrier and either the Toy or Miniature Poodle. This spunky hybrid is known for their curiosity, intelligence, and stubborn nature. The Jack-A-Poo is super receptive to training, though when they go unstimulated, they sometimes let their mischievousness get the best of them.Â
Jack Russell Terriers can be quite a handful for inexperienced dog owners, but the poodle lineage brings some balance to the hyperactive prey-driven Jack Russell. Both Poodles and Jack Russell Terriers descend from hunting dogs, with the Poodle trained for waterfowl retrieval and the Jack Russell bred to hunt foxes and rats. Keeping this clever breed busy will take some creativity and effort, but we've come up with plenty of activities to get you started!Â
Many Jack-A-Poos enjoy the age-old tradition of digging up their parent's yard. While this is an exciting prospect for pooches, it can be quite disconcerting to their owners. One solution to this is to create a designated digging space for your little excavator. For most owners, the most efficient way to do this is to invest in a sandbox. The price range for sandboxes varies quite a bit, but you should be able to score one to suit your little digger's needs for under 50 bucks. Sand is usually inexpensive.
