Are Jack Russells good with children?
They are not usually very good with young children. We advise people that have very small children to wait until the kids are just a bit older. This terrier doesn’t have the patience for the little child that pinches or pulls or tugs on body parts. They tend to be snippy and grumpy when handled this way. At around 6 years of age, children can be taught how to handle the JRT and we find it works out much better for the dogs, parents and kids!
