Breed Information

Overview

The Border Jack is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between a Border Collie and Jack Russell Terrier. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know that you can get any combination of the characteristics found in either breed. This designer breed is recognized by ACHC (American Canine Hybrid Club).

The Border Jack is a cross between a Border Collie and a Jack Russell Terrier. Although they can take on any combination of traits from their parents, a Border Jack tends to be a highly energetic and intelligent dog with a bold, playful personality. Although they are not recognized by the American Kennel Club, they are recognized by the Dog Registry of America.

Temperament

A Border Jack is a busy, active dog that is affectionate with their family. Although they do get along well with children, they tend to be a better fit for older children. Border Jacks tend to have an exuberant and rambunctious personality that can overwhelm younger children. At the same time, they do not tend to tolerate rough behavior, which could cause problems with young children who have not mastered motor control when it comes to interacting with animals. They tend to be wary and cautious of strangers including other dogs. Border Jacks also have a high prey drive. A lot of socialization and training early and often can help the more closed-off Border Jack open up and also curb any herding tendencies they may be showing. This is particularly important with other dogs and pets in the household.
