More about the Breed

Temperament: There are problems in the temperament of this breed but as it is new these could be bred out. These are that the Jackabee can be very shy and due to fear aggressive so socializing this breed is very important from a young age to help them be confident in there lives. They need an owner that can train the dog in basic obedience but this dog is harder to train because they get distracted easily, so short lessons a few times a day work better than long sessions where they tend to switch off. Training needs to be fun and give fast rewards for training well done. Remember the training needs to be done a few times a day, every day. Harsh training doesn't work for this breed but quick fun reward sessions work better. Set house rules and boundaries to help the dog know there place in the family, this gives them security.

The Jackabee is a dog who needs a lot of walking daily or jogging is a must.
If they do not burn off the energy then you might have problems later on in life, such a chewing or obsessively barking, an odd Beagle howling. Have chew toys that are for chewing and do not accept anything else being chewed. This is a rule that needs to be in the house rules for this dog. No feeding at the table, is another rule that only teaches the dog manners but there health as well, as they can put on weight.

No Jumping is another house rule that again helps the dog and you will find that any guest are happier as well. While out walking it is best for the dog on a lead as they are big scent smells and can be off on a scent and not be thinking about anything else. They do make good companion dogs and are good with older children and will love to be with there owners but it is best plan not to have another canine pets as the hunting instinct is still there. They can bark loudly and some training needs to be done here if this is a problem.

Health issues: The Jackabee has good health to date but it is early days of this breed and a good breeder will be able to show you health certificates ' for breeding dogs, if not walk away and find a breeder that can.


Grooming:The Jackabee needs a daily brushing to remove dead hair.

Living conditions:  This is an active dog, and if you can meet the needs of daily walking and mental exerisce they can live in a apartment. The garden needs to be well fenced in as this dog can jum high, like a medium size fence.

If you think about getting a Jackabee

If you are thinking about bringing a Jackabee puppy or dog to your home is a good choice but you got some puppy proofing to do before you bring your new addition home. Jackabees are easy to train but they get distracted easily, they get a long with other dogs and when they get bored they like to chew on wood so keep them busy with toys and treats. And they also are very active breed and love to get exercise so that they can sleep through the night. They are very sweet dogs and are very smart to!! But I must beware, they can sometimes have the fiesty attitude like a Jack Russell.......

I am excited to learn more about the breed and enjoy life with my Jackabee puppy.

               Yes it is begining to look alot like Christmas, in the Fetterhoff household it is :)! Benny is ready for his first Christmas at my Dads house... I am so excited for his first Christmas, so here are a few Christmas pictures!!

Finally he is potty trained

So after 6 months of  hard work, Benny is fully potty trained. I am so proud of him now it is time to teach him not to jump up on people all the time!! I think it is going to be hard but other then that I think he is pretty good, Benny used to get fiesty a lot but he has not done that for a month :)!! Wohoo!! I can not believe that he will be 9 months old on the 27th, does that even seem possible??

And he will be 1 on March 27th, I admit it I spoil Benny and I wish I didn't haha but I can't help it!! He is my puppy that I take care of and he is really a great dog. On the 24th Benny and I are going to my Dad's house to spend the night, I am excited about my Dad and my nephews and my oldest sister to meet Benny! I have 2 other sisters and they both met Benny!! My Mom and I tell each other my Puppy, No My Puppy, and we go back and fourth it is so funny..

How I fell inlove with the breed!

So we all know that all Puppies are CUTE!!

This is a old picture of my baby Benny!

So I have 2 other dogs at home a 9 year old Boxer mix name Sox amd a 7 year old name Natasha. And I wanted my own puppy to take care of so I looked up puppies on a website and I was looking at all of the different puppies. And I showed my mom Benny's Brother and we both fell inlove with him!! They were 300.00$ and I thought ok lets go meet them and see what we think of them and then we will decide! So we called the owner of the puppies we were the first ones to call about the puppies. So we went to meet the puppies on my mom's birthday, when we got there and it was a chicken farm. So there was this lady who brought out 2 male puppies one of them was the one that we love on line and then there was Benny. We fell in love with him!! So we bought him!! He was the runt of the litter and we are so blessed to have him!! He is the perfect fit in the family!

We bought him in May and it is crazy how time flies by! I love my baby boy, and I am so glad that we got him. Everyone thinks he is the cutest puppy ever!!

That is my Story!!

Thinking about getting a Jackabee

g about purchasing an Jackabee? Then read our breed profile including a brief description, information on height, weight, color, coat, temperament, grooming, activity and history. Purchasing a new puppy is a commitment that may last ten or more years so please educate yourself on the Jackabee breed, including all stages of their life from puppy hood to older dog.
Ask yourself will I be a good owner? Do I have the time it takes to train a new puppy? Do I have the resources to give my new dog a rewarding life. Do I have a local veterinarian that I can take my new dog to? Do I have a groomer or can I do the grooming myself on a regular basis.
Fundamental requirements for a being a good Jackabee owner;

• properly feed your new dog,
• house them comfortably
• train them in basic obedience.

Before making a purchase talk to the breeder, ask them many questions about their dogs and the breed in general. A good breeder will teach you about the Jackabee and they will have many questions for you about your home and life style and if this breed is suited for you and your family.
Questions you may want to ask an Jackabee Breeder:

• When were your Jackabees born? When will they be allowed to leave?
• Have your puppies received their first shots? being wormed? had a puppy check up with your veterinarian?
• What type of socialization have the puppies received? with children? with other pets? in the home?
• Have you seen genetic problems in previous litters? What are your health guarantees?
• Are there any health certifications on the sire or dam?
• What is the temperament of the puppies, of the mother? shy? boisterous? aggressive? skittish?
• If you become unable to care for your new Jackabee, will the breeder help you find a new home?

It is recommended that you sign a contract with the breeder so that there will be no misunderstandings on the arrangements made. Then bring home your new Jackabee and enjoy as "there is no greater love then a dog's devotion."
