Does the Jack Russell Terrier dig or bark?
This is natural behavior for any dog as this is their way of communicating and is their voice. They are bred to go-to-ground after quarry, and to bay to alert the hunters where that quarry is located. However, I must say that not all Jack Russells dig or bark. They are excellent watchdogs – alerting the family when a visitor arrives. Some will be good guard dogs and protect the family from strangers. Some will lick them to death and go off with strangers. Which is how many are stolen as they are a high theft item being popular. The digging is personal as well – some do – some do not! Some may not like getting wet or getting dirty. It’s a personal preference of individual dogs.
