Toni depends on what job you want the terrier to do. if its earth work cross it with a lakeland/fell type, i had a small lakexrussell bitch that was grand little terrier to own, loved to hunt and when she wasn't hunting was as quite as a mouse out in the yard. just make sure what ever you cross with is from working stock.

Kane 2 Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 If it is a decent well bred Russel then breed it with another well bred working Russel,if you cant find another decent Russel then try another working terrier. If it isnt a good worker then dont breed atall. Quote Link to post

Toni Most terriers will bush. Depends on your circumstances. if the dog lives in and will be part of the family and live with other dogs, i like borders as the other half...more biddable. As Kane said any good proven earth dog for the other half if its to be used for digging i would imagine, unless you are wanting a certain 'look'. MOLL. Quote Link to post
Guest burn Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 i would personaly x it with a working lakeiand it wud work above and below ground . best of look in ur choice Quote Link to post
Toni_Dave_17 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 yeah, id either choose a good lakeland or a border, but from my experience at the weekend borders are stubborn lil buggars on times.. thanks what are your opinions on a lakeland patti mix?? Quote Link to post
Stabs 3 Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 What are the attributes you like in the Jack Russell? Simply find another dog with those attributes and breed to it. A good example of a proper Russell will have very different characteristics to a Lakeland, Patterdale, Border etc in my opinion Quote Link to post
