High-quality puppy food usually contains all vitamins/minerals. Supplements like calcium should only be given after vet consultation; excess is as harmful as deficiency. Vitamins are given based on tests and medical advice, not “just in case.”
Immediately after adaptation (2.5–3 months). Start with basic rules: no biting, toilet basics. Short daily sessions (5–10 min, several times/day). Introduce basic commands (“name”, “come”, “heel”, “sit”, “down”). Early socialization with people, dogs, and sounds is critical — leads to confident, obedient dogs.

Jack Russells are not aggressive — they are fearless but friendly. Any unprovoked aggression or cowardice is considered a fault. With proper socialization, they are usually calm. Hunting instincts may cause chasing small animals (cats, rodents), so unfamiliar animals should be protected.
As needed, usually no more than once every 1–2 months. Use mild dog shampoo and rinse well. Dry thoroughly.

Suitable for active individuals or families willing to walk and train a lot. A “playful companion” dog with strong attachment. Jack Russells can adapt to both apartments and houses, but without regular activity, they get bored quickly.
