Jack Russells

Question
Hello, I have decided to get a Jack Russell terrier as a companion, I still have many questions and am hoping you can help me.....

How old should the pup be when brought home?

Is puppy chow an o.k brand too feed?

Will it get along with my lab? my lab is a very friendly dog and enjoys playing with other dogs of all sizes.

I will be getting: an extra set of feeding bowls, a small bed, four/five sturdy toys, a collar, harrness & leash along with a ID tag & of coarse some food and rewards.... am I missing anything?

At what age should I begin walking the dog?

Can you tell me a little bit about a neutered males tempermaent? also do these dogs enjoy being cuddled?

Thank you for your help in advance.

HI ASKS
CAN U PLEASE FIND ANOTHER TYPE OF TERRIER FOR THE JR'S CAN BECOME SOMEWHAT CRAZY WITHOUT A PLAN OF TRAINING IT SOMETHING TO DO AND KEEPING IT VERY BUSY.  THEY ARE HIGH HIPER TERRIERS, U HAD BETTER OR BEST GO TO A YORKI, MINI SHUTZHUND, ETC.  THE J.R I HAVE NO TIME FOR THEY ARE HARD TO TRAIN AND U NEED ALOT OF EXPERIENCE TO TRAIN THEM,
GRANTED ONCE GROWN UP AND TRAINED OR HANDLED BY A BEHAVIOR SPECIALISTS THEY CAN BE THE BEST ACTS.
I WOULD NOT TAKE ONE FREE IF U ASK ME A PERSONALL OPINION.  I DO NOT THINK THEY ARE PRETTY THEY LOOK LIKE A MUTT OR MIX BREED AND ACT CRAZY.
I WOULD RATHER U FEED PURINA ONE OR IAMS AND A DRY KIBBLE AS I FOUND OUT SOME HAVE REALLY BAD INGREDINENTS I WAS USING BENEFUL TO ADD COLOR TO MY BEN OF FOOD AND WAS TOLD TO ST0P IMMEDIATELY IT IS JUNK FOOD.  IT DOES SCARE ME AS THE FIRST FOUR INGREDIENTS SHOULD BE MEAT PRODUCTS THEN U CAN ADD CORN AND FILLERS AND IT WILL NOT HURT THEM BUT IT NO FIRST FOUR ARE MEAT PRODUCTS IT IS JUNK FOOD ALSO THEY PUT EUKANUBA AS A TOP BRAND NOT TO BUY, I GET ALOT OF ADIVSE BECAUSE OF MY SITE AND EXPENSIVE DOGS TO FEED. THAT SCARED ME INTO PRO PLAN CHICKEN AND RICE FOR ALL MY DOGS YES, NEARLY 36.OO A BAG BUT THEN I WOULD RATHER HAVE MY DOGSS BOWELS MOVE LESS AND ABSORB MORE THAN FEED JUNK THEY SHIT OUT OFTEN.
YOUR LAB WILL NOT TOLERATE A JR I WOULD NOT IF I WERE HE/SHE, GET A SIMPLE MIX BREED IF NOTHING ELSE FOR A COMPANION FOR THE JR ARE CRAXY DOGS U MIGHT TRULY REGRET, I SURE WOULD.
GET A NICE MIX BREED THAT NEED A GOOD HOME WITH YOUR LAB, FEED IAMS, ONE, CANADIE, SOLID GOLD, FLINT RIVER RANCH TOP BRANDS NOW THAT IS SAFE NOT TO WORRY ABOUT.  I HAVE ALOT OF DOGS TO FEED SO I MUST MAKE A DECISION.
THE JR WOULD MAKE THE LAB HIPER AND CRAZY LIKE THEY ARE, I WOULD SEArch and find another pal for my lab.
