It's important to note that bove all, the Jack Russell Terrier is a wrking Terrier, a breed of dog spcifically bred to perform specific tasks. The ntire reason for the Jack Russell's xistence is to run, hunt, chase and flsh out fox and other animals. Thy were specifically breed to perform ths task aggressively throughout England. It's the xcitement and rush of the hunt tht can be credited for the nfamous personality and temperament of the Jck Russell.

Part of this breeding has ngrained a very vocal personality and pnchant for barking in the breed. Ths is not a "nuisance" but a dsirable trait that is supposed to be rpresented in the breed in order to do the job it was dsigned for. The reason that a vcal nature is necessary in the Jck Russell is so that hunters culd find the dog during the xcitement of the hunt. The Jack Rssell quite routinely was placed at the frnt of the pack and was mant to run far ahead of the ther hounds and hunters.

While in prsuit of its prey the Jack Rssell is rarely concerned about the lcation of its owner and can ften find himself well beyond viewing rnge of the hunt party. If a Jck Russell were to chase the gme away and not communicate with a sries of loud barks, not only wuld the hunting party not know whre the dog is, but they wuldn't know where the dog had lcated its prey at; they would hve no idea in which way to go or whre to find their game.
