Introduction

The Jack-a-poo is a Jack Russell Terrier crossed with a Miniature or Toy Poodle, creating a playful and loving all-rounder that loves to be at the heart of family life. People-oriented and affectionate, they love to entertain, and at the end of a busy and active day, they’ll snuggle up on the sofa with the family to watch TV.

History

The Jack-a-poo’s origins are unknown, but like other “designer dogs” and popular hybrids, the first intentionally mix was most likely in the 1990s and in North America. The Jack Russell Terrier has origins dating back to the 1800s in England and the Poodle’s origins go way back to German ancestors in the 15th century.

Personality

The combination of the Jack Russell Terrier’s affectionate, outgoing personality and the Poodle’s intelligence and energy creates a super-sociable bundle of fun that makes the Jack-a-poo an increasingly popular family pet and companion. Both parents are working breeds and this is seen in the Jack-a-poo’s need for exercise and entertainment, but in a suitably busy and active home environment, they are charming, playful, clever little dogs that offer, fun, friendship, and undying loyalty.

Health Issues as a hybrid breed, the Jack-a-poo is less susceptible to hereditary conditions that can affect its purebred parents. Patellar luxation can be an issue in small dog breeds.
Care Tips Jack-a-poos are low maintenance in terms of grooming, but exercise needs are high. Grooming: a twice-weekly brush is generally enough to keep coats looking good. Feeding: two meals per day of high-quality food. Exercise: a minimum of 45 minutes of exercise each day split into two walks is needed, but ideally an hour or more with as much free time to play in a secure garden as possible. Jack-a-poos are lively and intelligent and need mental stimulation as well as physical exercise to keep them happy and out of mischief.
