Un très bon guide, à la fois complet et accessible, pour les (futurs ?) propriétaires d’un Jack Russell. L’auteure ne cache rien sur le caractère parfois difficile des chiens de cette espèce tout en rappelant les nombreuses joies qu’il peut apporter. Après avoir lu ce livre, je suis encore plus impatient d’en accueillir un chez moi !

Basic stuff

For beginners thinking about purchasing JRTs. I moved on to other, more detailed fare. Read the reviews before buying in order to gauge the kind of information you need. These are amazing dogs, but not for the faint of heart.

Out of five books on JRTs this was the best, but it still didn't answer all of my first time owner JRT questions.
