One of the most charming qualities of Jack
Russells is their gentle and kindly nature toward children. The dog may be
capable of being unusually friendly with small children provided the child
understands how to handle the terrier. The intelligence of the dog and the
strength of his presence mean he will not tolerate abuse from children.
This is not a dog who takes well to punishment. He may defend himself if
pushed too far, even from accidental abuse. Adult supervision is always
suggested. JRTs fare better with children over 6 years of age.
Some, however, adore their children and will allow themselves to be put in
baby carriages and dressed in doll clothes.
JRTs do adore their children, but they will not
tolerate teasing or abuse.
