 JACK RUSSELLS IN THE NEWS Jack Russell Terriers are ever ready to try something new as you will see from these News articles. A keen intelligence and liveliness sees them joining in many of their humans activities and doing a bit more than just going along for the ride! They also love digging, and some need a pretty big rescue operation to dig them out from under the ground when they become trapped. Loyal and protective of their owners they are sometimes known to save the day. Some dogs were lucky to survive so

Cornwall UK 2008 Three people are being treated for hypothermia after they went into the sea to save a dog in Cornwall. The Jack Russell terrier got into difficulty at Whipsiderry, Newquay. After failing to rescue the dog, the three managed to make their way back to shore to waiting paramedics and were treated at the scene. Both of the town's lifeboats were launched - one of them picked up the dog, which was then taken to a local vet for an examination. After the three people managed to get back to shore, the dog was still in the water and swimming frantically in circles. As the Newquay D-class lifeboat Valerie Wilson rounded a corner, the dog spotted it and started to swim towards it. The lifeboat came as close to the dog as was safe but was still a few metres away. A crew member entered the water and swam to the dog. He then swam back to the lifeboat with the animal. BBC Story link... Surfin' Jack

Old Biddy is Swept out to Sea May 2007 New Zealand
The Royal New Zealand Navy has always prided itself on its rapid response to an emergency at sea, so when a jack russell terrier was swept 800m offshore it immediately began a rescue mission. Biddy, a 17-year-old jack russell terrier, was swept from her Stanley Bay home to the mudflats at Ngataringa Bay, near the Devonport naval base. A passer-by noticed the small shivering dog and a rising tide and alerted the Navy's sea safety training squadron. Naval leading chef Regan Garrett volunteered to go to Biddy's rescue, stripping down to his underwear and braving the cold to wade into the mud and water. The dog was suffering from hypothermia so naval general service hand Steve Davis took the bedraggled Biddy to the vet. By good luck it was Biddy's usual vet and owner Judy Grieve was quickly tracked down. Breaking

2008 When Dogs Trust Shoreham Rehoming Centre received five "day old" Jack Russell Terrier puppies that had been rejected by their mother the only way the centre could care for them was by hand rearing them. Being a Dogs Trust Canine Carer Dogs Trust Canine Carer, Elaine Potter agreed to be the puppies surrogate mum as she had previously hand reared puppies. Hand rearing puppies is just as demanding as caring for a new born baby as they need constant care and attention, as well as bottle feeding every couple of hours throughout the day and night.
