Vicky -

Your baby is very young, and in fact many many breeders would not have taken her away from her Momma yet.

I suspect she is just getting really really tired.... If she's playing with you when this happens, you might want to think about not playing with her too hard. As I said, she's just a baby and might need you to help her calm things down a little.

Remember, she would normally be counting on her mommy to tell her when "enough is enough" so now you have that responsibility.

Be sure to take her to obedience classes when she's old enough !  Jack russells are not for everyone and can be quite a handful if not properly trained.

Enjoy your baby !
