: : Since this is a type if terrier, is there is a problem with digging as most terriers like to do?

: Yes Jack Russells dig, my yard looks like the Lunar Landscape, craters everwhere.
: I planted two trees when I first moved here and they dug them up, so the Back ares is theirs to do with what they want too. Digging is an inhereted trait, and something they love to do, I have some that like it better than others but they all love to excavate!
: Have a great day

Digging comes as naturally to these dogs as tail wagging. It's something that should be expected. Just like Linda, my back yard is not that pleasant to look at, but my landscaper still mows it without complaint. So, I don't see the digging as a "problem." It's something you just have to become oblivious to if you have Jack Russells.
