Jack Chi Breed Maintenance
This breed is low maintenance and requires little grooming. Jack Chi dogs will only need brushing once a week to remove loose hair — they’re moderate shedders — and debris from their coat. However, if the parent breed is a long-haired Chihuahua breed and that’s resulted in their coat being longer, then brushing may be required several times a week. Bathing is only necessary when required.
You’ll need to check and clean their ears regularly. Their teeth will need to be cleaned daily and you should trim their nails when required.
They may be small but this crossbreed has a lot of energy which means they require plenty of exercise and time to play. You can go on a couple of long walks a day but you may want to keep them on a leash as their tracking and hunting nose never stops seeking scents. This dog wants to be mentally stimulated as well as physically, so will love to play when you are back home especially scent and puzzle games.
As long as they get exercise, their small size means they can live in apartments. If you do have a yard, they should be monitored when outside. Their Jack Russell side means they may try to jump over the fence or dig underneath it — be warned!
