Avg Size of male: Height: 12-14 Weight: 13-17 The
terrier’s life Average life span is 13-15 years The
JRT is slightly taller than it is long, of medium bone. Its long legs enable
it to keep up with the horses and hounds during a long fox hunt. Its slender
build allows it to fit into small passageways in pursuit of its quarry.
Spanning is a critical part of judging the JRT. The chest behind the elbows
must be easily spanned by average-size hands, such that the thumbs should
meet at the spine and the fingers under the chest. Its gait is free and
lively, with good reach and drive. Its coat can be either smooth or broken,
both coarse and weatherproof with short, dense undercoat. The outer coat of
the smooth is flat and hard; that of the broken is harsh, straight, tight and
close-lying, with no sculpted furnishings. The JRT's expression is keen and
full of life. |
