: We are in the process of getting a puppy. Our groomer said that male JRT's are very hard to house break. She recommends getting a female.

Dear Denise,

The sex of a dog, regardless of breed, does not determine it's ability to be house broken because the owner(s) is solely responsible for the training. House breaking a JRT can be very hard or it can be very easy -- this is an extremely intelligent breed who is capable of "learning" by what we don't do as readily as what we do.
