Breed Information

Overview

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

A Jack-A-Ranian, or Jackaranian, is a cross between a Jack Russell Terrier and a Pomeranian. These energetic little dogs are playful and courageous. They love being around their families and often strive to receive attention and affection from them.

Although the American Kennel Club does not recognize the Jack-A-Ranian, they are recognized by other canine registries and clubs. The American Canine Hybrid Club, Designer Dogs Kennel Club, International Designer Canine Registry, and more all recognize the Jack-A-Ranian.

Temperament

Jackaranians are loyal little dogs with a lot of personality. If not well-socialized early on and throughout their life, they can also have a lot of attitude and develop bad habits. Early and ongoing socialization and training can help ensure these little dogs don’t develop a big, problematic attitude. When they are properly socialized, they make great companions for single owners or families who can give them the activity, attention, and affection they crave. They tend to get along well with children and other dogs in the family. They don’t tend to tolerate rough play, even if it is accidental, so they tend to be a better fit for older children who have mastered motor control. They also tend to have a high prey drive, which can be an obstacle if you have prey-type pets. Although they tend to warm up to strangers once introduced, they are initially wary and suspicious and will likely bark to alert you. You will want to start to train your dog to stop barking early on to keep them from barking at everything and to keep it from becoming a nuisance behavior.
