kind of dog

Question
Hello. I wonder if you know what kind of dog are the puppy showed on The Mask film. I want a dog like that.

Do you know it?

thks.

Answer
This is a Jack Russel Terrier. Might I ask why is it you want THIS type of dog? Jack Russels are very high energy, high spirited dogs. They can be a little stubborn and hard to train if you are not familiar with terriers. I was looking after one for a friend and he adored me. It was a breeze to train him, although I am familiar with terriers. My neighbor at the time(who was actually the one taking care of him in the first place) and the dog did not see eye to eye and because of some quick moments towards me, the neighbor got bit. If this had been a bigger dog, or a small child, both the owner and I could be in some serious trouble. Jack Russels are great little dogs if you insist on the rules %100 of the time, and train with positive reinforcment, not harsh punishment. So I hope you look into the breed more, because the dog on The Mask was trained by professionals, and your dog wouldn't be ready-made. Take your lifestyle into account, and also how it may change in the next 10-15 years. Thats how long a dog can live, sometimes longer, and I hope you want to give a dog that kind of commitment.
Good luck on finding the right pup for you.
