Description
Dog Breed: Jack Russell Terrier / Terrier. Elsa is a lively little terrier mix with enough energy to power a small city. She spends her days zooming around the yard, investigating every single scent, and turning anything remotely climbable into her own personal obstacle course. She is an enthusiastic learner still working on walking nicely on a leash and mastering basic manners. Elsa is eager for a family who loves fun as much as she does while guiding her with patience and love. We have a feeling she'd be an agility superstar, flying through tunnels and over jumps like she's training for the Olympics! If you're looking for a companion that brings excitement and new journeys into your life, Elsa may just be your perfect match! Elsa is currently available by appointment. Please call and leave a message at (831) 264-5422 to learn more about her!

Overview:
The Jack Russell Terrier is a small, energetic dog breed originating from England in the mid-1800s, specifically bred by Reverend John Russell for fox hunting. These compact canines are easily recognized by their sturdy, muscular build, typically weighing between 13-17 pounds, with a height of 10-15 inches at the shoulder. Their coats can be smooth, broken, or rough, predominantly white with black, tan, or tricolor markings. Known for their spirited and confident temperament, Jack Russells are highly intelligent but can also be quite stubborn, requiring consistent training and ample mental stimulation. While devoted to their families, their high energy levels and strong prey drive make them better suited for active households with secure outdoor spaces rather than small apartments. They can thrive with children if properly socialized, though supervision is always advised due to their boisterous play. Generally healthy, they can be prone to certain genetic conditions such as patellar luxation, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, and some eye disorders, making responsible breeding crucial.
