Description:
This is Cloe, as cute as can be. I received a photo of her for the first time while I was visiting my in-laws in Virginia over the Thanksgiving holiday. Curled up at my feet was Lucy, their little Jack Russell. I looked at Cloe's picture. I looked at Lucy. I looked at Cloe. I looked at Lucy. I said, "Hey Lucy, do you have a sister in Florida?" I couldn't get over how much they looked alike! What a sweetheart. Both of them, I mean!

Foster update 12/15: Chloe is such a treat! She has obviously lived in a home before and has great house manners. She is fully housetrained and goes to the back door if she needs to go out. She is super sweet with people and likes other dogs. She does chase and bark at my cats but i think its more of a sport than that she wants to hurt them! I tell her no when she gets excited about chasing them and she calms right down. She loves to run and hunt birds, squirals at the dogs park. She will spend hours on her own looking up trees, chasing shadows, just enjoying the ourdoors. She does not know her name yet and i have to go get her when we are ready to leave the dog park but at first sight of the leash she comes up and is ok with leaving. she loves balls and fetches but doesn't always bring it back to you. I think she would do well in a home with someone who ran or jogged but wanted a smaller dog. She is only about 25lbs but has a very athletic build and is an active dog. She loves to lay on the sofa and sleep under the covers in bed! Her previous owner stated that she was a bolter. Meaning when the door was open she would sneak out and make a run for it. I have found that if she is properly exercised she does not want to bolt out the door. But if not walked and exercised enought she can get frustrated and want to run all by herself!She is just so cute in the face that she makes your heart melt!


According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Jack Russell Terrier was developed in 19th century England by a clergyman named Jack Russell. This feisty little terrier was used to hunt small game, particularly fox, by digging the quarry out of its den. Breeders have emphasized its working ability, so the standard is very broad, encompassing a wide range of accepted body types. On English hunts, the Jack Russell Terriers were supposed to be long-legged enough to keep up with the hounds. The energetic and playful Jack Russell makes a good family companion. The Jack Russell Terrier is a perky, merry, devoted, and loving dog. Spirited and obedient, yet absolutely fearless. Careful and amusing, he enjoys games and playing with toys. Friendly and generally kind to children who have been taught not to tease or strike the dog. They are intelligent, yet willful and determined. They have strong hunting instincts (stronger than your average terrier) and should not be trusted with other small animals. They like to chase and explore. Be careful not to let them off the lead unless they are very well-trained. Jack Russells like to bark and dig. They tend to get restless and destructive if not kept fruitfully occupied and well exercised. Jack Russells climb, which means they can climb over a fence, they also jump. A Jack that stands 12 inches high can easily jump five feet. JRTs are not the breed for a inexperienced dog owner. This is a BIG dog in a little dogs body. The owner needs to be as strong-willed as they are, or this little guy will take over.
