Jackapoo.net started as a place for me to post pictures and information for puppies that I had in the paper (they charge by the word you know) for sale when we had our first litter. As the years have gone on we have gotten so many requests for jack-a-poo's from people from all over and I have gotten so many emails for more information on Axl and Josie's puppies and the Jack-A-Poo breed that I now have a full site devoted to it. My dogs Axl and Josie have been wonderful pets and the puppies that they have had over the years have gotten rave reviews from their owners and families. The Jack-A-Poo breed are excellent pets and this site is dedicated to finding happy homes for them all. If you are looking for a Jack-A-Poo puppy or if your looking to sell your Jack-A-Poo puppies, you have come to the right place. Jack A Poo information
Jack-A-Poo Jack Russell Terrier / Poodle Hybrid
A jack-a-poo is a crossbreed dog gaining popularity in the US. It is a specific mix between smaller poodles and Jack Russell terriers, but the breed is still so new that it’s difficult to find much information regarding them, their behavior, and their characteristics. It’s not difficult to understand the intent behind the cross breeding of these two types of dogs. Both dogs have desirable and undesirable characteristics. Jack Russell Terriers are known for their exceptional intelligence, which can quickly lead them into trouble without skilled training from an early age. Poodles are also considered some of the most intelligent dogs, but again, if improperly trained, they may be nippy. In general, poodles have a more sedate intelligence than do Jack Russell Terriers. Calming down the Jack Russell energy by breeding it to a poodle can be a smart choice. Further, Jack Russells shed significantly, while poodles are considered low-shed, and almost hypoallergenic. The crossbred jack-a-poo or jackdoodle, may have the characteristics of a non-shedding dog and be better for people who have slight allergies to dogs, or who simply don’t want to deal with a shedding dog. Whether or not a jack-a-poo will shed or be a calm dog is a good question that is not always easy to determine when you obtain a puppy. If you want to be assured of calmer characteristics or low shedding, rescuing a year old jack-a-poo may be a better choice, since animal rescuers can give you a more full account of the dog’s behavior. Temperament and coat can vary, as can appearance. Some types of jack-a-poo look very much like Jack Russell Terriers, and weigh in at about 15-25 pounds (6.8-11.34 kg). Others may be smaller, may have smooth instead of rough curly coats, and all exhibit a range of colors. When the jack-a-poo is first generation, this means it has a Jack Russell and poodle parent. Second or later generations means the dog is the result of breeding two jack-a-poos together. You’re likely to have more predictable characteristics in dogs of later generations, since the dogs with the most desirable characteristics are selected to breed and produce puppies. The first
generation jack-a-poo tends to be the most variable in appearance, coat
quality and temperament. It may look like a Jack Russell or a poodle,
shed or not shed, and is high energy or not. If you like to be surprised
by a dog’s personality and looks, first generation puppies may be the
best choice. Clearly, though, any jack-a-poo you acquire will benefit
significantly from lots of loving attention, careful training and
behavior classes and overall thoughtful care as to coat. Dogs that
prosper best, regardless of breed, do so in loving homes. Other links History of the Jack Russell Terrier Join the Yahoo! Jack-A-Poo Group today to share information and pictures with other owners!
