Yeah, they love to jump all the time. My sis has one, and it's a fun dog, but it gets over-hyper quite easily.
 
My friend got one cuz she thought they were cute and had to have one. That thing runs rampant eats everything and yaps like no other, but thats cuz she lives in an apartment and doesn't know how to take care of a JRT. If you just want a small dog I'd suggest something other than a JRT.

Whatever you do get a dog from a pound or rescue organization...

I second this movement. The puppy mills contribute to the mass killings at pounds. Save one instead.
 
I have two Jacked Russell Terrorists. They are extremely energetic but learn very fast. If you have time and patience get one. I will never have any other dog.

My friends just rescues 37 dogs from New Orleans. Among them was a JRT that they are fostering. They already have a dog and three cats. They like the jack though and might keep him.
 
they are cheap too because most people dont have the nerve to deal with them. I paid $175 for one and $250 for the other. Never pay more than $3-350 for one.
 
They need to be able run around. So, don't get one if you live in an apartment or don't have a fair sized yard. They also invariably pee everywhere when excited or scared.

thanks, I leave them out in my apartment while I'm at work and they are ok. But I walk them about 3-4 times a day and take them to a dog park about once a week.

OMFG that's hilarious. Good thing he's a dachshund and not a bigger breed. Doesn't have to fall very far wen he colapses.

IMHO the best dogs are mixed breeds. Less chance of them having some fvcked up disorder too. Some pure breeds can have nasty social traits as well. That said, I wouldn't trade my pure bred dog (a Vizla) for anything.
 
HELL NO unless you have 24 hours a day to spend with it and a HUGE yard. I made the mistake of buying one because he was small and cute and I talked myself into thinking that I could manage it regardless of what everyone else was telling me. If you are in an apartment then it will be the worst decision you ever make. If you have a yard with at LEAST an acre then maybe, but realize this is a very energetic dog who needs a hell of a lot of attention. Unless you really know what you are doing, I would not recommend it.
 
They are "busy" to put it mildly, some aren't too hyper, but almost everyone I have come into contact with has been a wallbouncer, totally whacked out. When my old Pit Bull mix was alive, there was a local petstore who's owner had a JRT. He attacked my dog on sight, and luckily for him, he was dragged away in time to prevent any real retaliation. My dog couldn't figure out what he was up to at first, he was pulling hunks of hair out of my dog's neck, and it took my dog about a minute to get angry (And some people think Pits are crazy!) and about the time he had gotten to the point he was about to explain the facts of life to the other dog:

1. I weigh 75 pounds, you weigh 12.
2. I can put your entire head in my mouth and almost close it without hurting you!
3. One of my molars is about half the size of your mouth, and can remove your legs with one bite.

The owner drug him away and he dodged that one. He found out that a Lab is no better than a Pit Mix when he attacked his owner's mother's dog, and she decided to teach him respect. She chewed him up pretty badly and broke several ribs. It didn't phase him, he went after my dog again, but they caught him as he ran to attack. This time, my dog was ready for him. It would have been very bad.
