The ancestors of the Jack Russell Terrier appeared in Great Britain in the 6th century, and for a long time were actively used for hunting foxes, badgers and rats.
In the mid-19th century, the English priest John (Jack) Russell appreciated the intelligence and courage of these dogs, first describing the standard of the new breed. Over time, the craze for hunting became a thing of the past, but the Jack Russell, thanks to its lively character and compact size, has by no means lost its former popularity.
This breed appeared in Russia only in the late 90s, so its representatives are still quite rare and are highly expensive.
Another important aspect is that Jack Russells need a patient and energetic owner who can appreciate the activity of this cheerful dog.

From the video you will learn what mixed-breed Jack Russell Terrier puppies look like:
Breeding mixed breeds provides fertile ground for experimentation. Few dog breeders work in this direction, and the appearance of unusual puppies with mixed genes most often occurs due to the independent uncontrolled mating of two purebred animals. It is all the more interesting to observe the result and compare the qualitative characteristics of the offspring.
The Welsh Corgi and Jack Russell Terrier mix is a typical breeding of dogs of the same size, weight and temperament. Both breeds are characterized by activity, good health and a genetic predisposition to interact with humans.
This is where the similarities end, so it is almost impossible to guess what kind of offspring they will bring together.
Jack Russell and Yorkie mix
The Yorkie Russell is a charming small dog (up to 30 cm at the withers), covered with long, soft hair of various colors (from brown-black to black-white-brown).
She has a friendly and fearless character and easily gets along with people and animals.
The Yorkie Russell is excellent for keeping in a city apartment, but does not tolerate cold climates very well..
Also, the future owner should be prepared for the fact that this dog requires increased attention. If she lacks communication with her owner, she will immediately report this with a loud howl and the most destructive behavior.
Leaving her alone for a long time is out of the question.
Yorkies, like all Jack Russell mixes, need regular exercise.
You will have to devote a lot of effort to caring for your pet’s fur, as it often gets tangled and very dirty during walks.
In addition to possible genetic diseases, Yorkies often suffer from dental diseases.
Regular teeth cleaning is recommended (2-3 times a week).

Character of the Dorgi
Representatives of the designer breed are friendly and sociable; they need to communicate with people, becoming strongly attached to family members. Animals are interested in everything the owner does and happily spend time with children and other animals. However, representatives of the breed are not suitable for people who lead a sedentary lifestyle. After all, Taxocorgs are lively, energetic dogs that love to run, play, and chase moving objects. It is necessary to satisfy their physical activity needs daily for at least 30 minutes per walk.
Although Dorgis need companionship and company, most representatives of the breed prefer to remain independent. At the same time, Taxocorgs do not tolerate loneliness. Prolonged stay without communication leads to destructive behavior.
Loving and affectionate in nature, Dorgis are very loyal, they strive to please their owner, and in cases of danger they will show courage, trying to protect family members. Dorgis inherited a tendency to bark from their parents. An incorrect approach to training leads to dogs barking frequently, especially when left alone. However, even with the proper approach to training, representatives of the breed can bark when they hear any suspicious noise or movement. The tendency to bark can also have its advantages, for example, Dorgis will always warn of the approach of strangers.
Being an intelligent breed, Dachshund Corgis are capable of learning, but training should begin at an early age. Representatives of the breed are characterized by stubbornness of their parents, and this fact should be taken into account when training. The success of training depends on the owner’s firmness, consistency, positive reinforcement in the form of treats, and praise. Smart dogs are able to learn tricks, they can participate in sports and perform guard duties.

The Jack Toy owner will have to pay special attention to caring for the pet’s teeth and eyes . They are often exposed to all sorts of diseases characteristic of this breed.
Care
Regular care to keep the coat clean and neat involves combing the coat. Representatives of the breed do not shed profusely, so brushing the coat once a week is sufficient. However, Dorgis love to dig in the ground, so they get dirty and need frequent washing. Although this circumstance may not matter if the pet lives on the street.
You need to regularly check and clean your ears to avoid the development of infectious diseases, and also trim your nails as they grow.
Dorgis love to eat, so it is important to control the amount and calorie content of food consumed to prevent obesity.

They are small dogs with a compact, well-built body, a small head and erect ears. Their weight varies from 1.5 to 4 kg and depends on the body weight of both parents.

What dog breeds are similar?
Parson Russell Terrier

Otherwise, the pet will grow up too stubborn and self-willed.
Pekingese
After a sharp drop in prices for Pekingese at the end of the 20th century, in well-known kennels, bitches of this breed began to be bred with Yorkshire terriers, which were expensive and had a small number at that time. Females born after such matings were again crossed with Yorkies. Such puppies were more expensive than Pekingese, but cheaper than Yorkshire terriers.
Mixed breeds of Pekingese and Yorkies (Yorkinese) have the following features:
- loud, booming bark;
- desire for self-affirmation;
- no need for long walks;
- bad reaction to one's own kind;
- difficulty in learning;
- fearlessness;
- jealousy of the owner and his attention;
- intolerance of loneliness;
- luxurious coat.
Yorkies have an attractive appearance and an aristocratic character, but due to their poor health they are rare. Puppies obtained as a result of crossing Yorkies and Pekingese do not always inherit only the positive qualities of their parents, so it is impossible to know in advance what they will be like. Often, mestizos have an undesirable set of characteristics and, as a result, poor hair, squint, non-closed fontanel and other problems.
Mestizos are not recognized by any canine organization, therefore they cannot participate in exhibitions and official breeding, they do not have a pedigree.
