: My husband and I have been looking into getting a JRT. His sister has a what they call a wire-hair JRT. I would like to know if a rough coat JRT is the same thing as wire? We know we don't want a smooth, because of my allergies. Also, we want one that stays small is there a difference in that too? Thank you

Response:

Dear Angie,

ALL Jack Russell Terriers shed regardless of whether they have smooth, broken or rough coats. And I assure you that the "size" of the JRT is not an indicator of it's personality.

I hope you will carefully consider the information on this website before you decide to get a JRT.
