Hi Terry
This is something that you have to answer by doing your homework before getting a dog, and that goes for any breed of dog.

How are you going to housetrain this puppy, when you are gone all day?

How is the puppy going to get the exercise he requires, not only as a puppy but as an adult?

Most of the problems we see on this board are related to Housebreaking, being crated too long, and to lack of exercise which can lead to alot of other problems. Walking several times a day isn't adequate exercise that this breed needs.

Please take time to Run the JR Profiler
Jack Russell Profiler and read Bad Dog Talk, Bad Dog Talk and this Web site, JRTCA Home Page. Find out all you can about this breed by doing your research before buying and not after, too many people are doing the latter and Rescue and the Shelters are full of dogs because people didn't do their research.
This isn't a breed for everyone and they can make your life miserable if not in the proper enviorment.
