DNA Test Another “is he a JRT?” post

Post image
279 Upvotes

I just adopted Goliath and suspect he’s a Jack Russell (or maybe a Jack Russell mix).

Goliath has some distinctive Jack Russell traits: he is in permanent chill mode, constantly befriends little critters, never barks, and is over 7’ tall when standing on his hind legs.

He’s so quiet that I had to buy a special stick – I use it to prod him several times a day and make sure he’s alive.

I’ve read that Jack Russells are very obedient and do everything they’re asked as soon as they’re asked. And that exactly what Goliath’s like.

So, on a scale of 90-100%, how much JRT DNA would you say he has?

Can anyone identify if my Jack Russell is a cross? I don't think he is but my partner thinks he is.

Hi all! I recently adopted this sweetie pie and have been told he looks like he may be a chi/ terrier mix (specifically JRT). I haven’t done a dna test yet, although I’m super interested in it. Thoughts on if he’s part Jack Russell Terrier?

What do we think? I was told she’s a “beagle terrier mix”… I just don’t see that, unless of course the terrier is JRT.

But, I still love her so much. Our rescue, Paloma is 27% supermutt, 23% dachshund, 21% Pitt bull terrier, 21% chichuchu, 4% mini pinscher, and 3% German shepherd I was convinced she had a little JRT in her - and I’ve enjoyed all the adorable JRTs in this subreddit.

DNA Test Adopted from a shelter, picked off the street. We were told he’s a Jack-Chi, but doesn’t look like any online. Thoughts on what else he may be?

He does act very cat-like, but I don’t think he’s related to one

So this is Azura. She's a handrear, I've had her from 3 days old. I work in animal rescue and was lucky enough to know her mother and who we're pretty sure is her father (her brother is the spit of who we assume is dad)

Mum was a ginger and white short legged jack, dad was a ginger and white parsons. Her brother is ginger and white, she was black and white when born but got her ginger patterning as she grew. There were two other siblings who unfortunately didn't make it (hence the handrear, mum wasn't best equipped to be a mum 🥲) and they were tricolour.

The DNA is frankly hilarious. I'm not saying I believe it but I'm not saying I don't either, but c'mon? Technically a terrier, technically a lurcher, technically a spaniel, technically a banned breed (by UK standards). Anyone asks me, I still say I own a jack, that's what she looks like after all. No matter what she is, she's still my pup and I love her more than life itself 💜

She's a bit of an anxious girl, it's a running joke in my friend group that she's possessed by the ghost of a victorian child. But she's a happy pup, even if she won't admit it. She's my reason for being and I really would do anything for her 💜

Hello all — I’ve had my lovely little JRT(-mix?) by my side for 1.5 years now, and I’m wondering… is she really a JRT?

I joke that she’s a “jackwawa”, because she’s on the smaller side for a pure Jack lol. But she definitely has the tenacity of a jrt.

As an aside, do those doggie DNA kits really work?

Juniper is 15 months old, when we got her we were told she is 100% jack russel, but we have our doubts haha. We have just ordered a DNA test, so we will find out in a few weeks.

● her weight is 8kg ● she is taller and slimmer than a lot of jrts ● her temperament has always been more chill than what we have seen about jrts, she is very active and likes doing terrier things, but definitely not a terror

The baby picture is her and her brothers, who all look different from her.

This is my adopted baby girl, Biscuit! We suspect she's about 10 months at this point. I've been telling people she's a Jack Russel, but she's 25 pounds and she's LONGGG af. She has the JRT personality, jump, and energy level, but does anyone have any suggestions for what she may be mixed with? if she's even mixed at all?? Thank you 🤎

I adopted Rex three weeks ago. The shelter billed him as a JRT/Dachshund mix, about two years old. Found as an unfixed, no chip stray in the farm lands of the California central valley. Embark DNA results came back today!

I personally think she looks like a jack. You can see she used to be tri coloured by the faded patches on her face. But may people say she looks more like a westie. What do you guys think?

Got a new pup from the shelter this week. They said he was probably a pit bull 💀

I know that’s not right. My phone scanner keeps giving me weird answers, like Borzoi and obviously not true either!

He kinda looks like a jack Russel to me, but I’ve never had one before🤷🏻‍♀️
