Genetic analysis have shown that the dog started developing from the wolf about 135.000 years ago. Yet it is highly unlikely that the wolvess were simply domesticated. Contrary to dogs they loose their tameness when they become young grown ups. It is assumed that there had been some wolves that were more trusting and thus dared to go near the upcoming settlings of men. They discovered this way an ecological niche, because there always had been some leftovers. Thus the more trusting wolves had a selective benefit and over thousands of years they evolved into their own species: The dog. Humans were able to breed these for special purposes and thus ensured their survival and expansion.
One of these purposes was known in Ancient Egypt already: Hunting.

Terriers have been known to Romans already, who gave them their name: This dog likes to dig into earth (terra). The special Jack-Russel breed was introduced by a hunter and priest called John Jack Russel. John Jack Russel wanted a dog for the hunt in burrows. That is why the Jack-Russel Terrier is small and agile, but very strong-minded and dynamic, too. It has a pronounced instinct for hunting and playing. And being very child-friendly the Jack Russel loves to play around with kids.

So is our sitting Jack Russel plush terrier "Jacky". It is loveable, child-friendly and curious to explore its new home.
The shown red collar is included in the delivery.
