jack russle help

jack russle help my friend said i can have hes 4month old jack, he as never worked with it and he said its a little timid and does not seem to like kids running round him. I have a 4 year old and 2year old do you think i could work with him and get him to like kids or just not have him ?

At 4 months old I would give him a chance, he is only a pup. There is still time for training.if he is not used to children then he needs to be slowly socialised so he can become accustomed to his environment, I personally wouldn't rehome that would mean he has left mum 1 home left your friend 2nd home left you 3rd home in 16 weeks, I'd be pissed off too!

Sensible decision: chances are the poor little thing hasn't been properly socialised at the correct age, or it has already had a bad experience with kids, OR, it just doesn't have a good temperament. It happens sometimes.
