Breed Information

Overview

The Jug is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between a Jack Russell Terrier and Pug. 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 dog breed is recognized by ACHC (American Canine Hybrid Club).

A Jug is a cross between a Jack Russell Terrier and a Pug. In addition to the best characteristics from each parent breed, a Jug should also have a slightly longer nose to help alleviate the breathing problems common to snub-nosed breeds like the Pug.

Although the Jug is not recognized by the American Kennel Club, they are recognized by other notable canine organizations. The American Canine Hybrid Club, Designer Dog Kennel Club, Dog Registry of American, and International Designer Canine Registry all recognize the Jug.

Temperament

Jugs are affectionate, playful, and charming dogs that love their families. They tend to get along well with children and other dogs. They can inherit the high prey drive from their terrier parent, which can require extra socialization with other small pets in the household. They will be alert watchdogs and can be prone to barking a lot. Training your dog to stop barking early on can help prevent this from becoming a nuisance behavior. They can also be protective, but will warm up to strangers once introduced as long as they have been appropriately socialized.
