Hi. I'm planning to get a Jack Russell Terrier, but i was wondering if i can have it in an apartment or in-house most of the day. I can only come back in the evening to bring him out for walks or jogs. Also, what are the things that i should take note to choose a good JRT? what is the standard price and where is the best place to buy one? i dont want to get cheated.
I'm currently staying in KL, in a house. But may move back to Penang next year and most probably staying in an apartment if you're wondering why i ask about both venues.

hello IKRYAN
JRT are active breeds and are playful.. if you can spend most of your time with JRT and are able to handle JRT's activeness and playfulness, then you can get one... just some advice.. hehee...

Not impossible, but will b difficult n truly demanding if u dun hv d time 2 gv ur JRT enof exercise n play. C thread ‘Can JRT b trained 2 live in a condo?’ under ‘Terrier Group’ column 4 some insights in apartmt living with a JRT.
As 4 any puppy, shld look 4 playfulness, alertness, responsiveness, agility n movement. Markings (brown, black or tan) shld preferably b confined 2 d head n base of tail ie. predominantly white. Head n body build should b in proportion to give an impression of a small, hardy and tenacious hunting dog. Comes in long legged n short legged varieties, n 3 diff coats – smooth, rough n wiry. Shld cost around RM1200 to RM1800. Think ppy.com sometimes has a recommended breeder list 4 JRTs. __________________________________________________

Just a couple of other things 2 look 4 in a JRT. Ears shld preferably b floppy ie. folded down with d tips around d corner of d eyes. Tail shld ideally b cropped but sufficiently long enof 2 allow a good grip by d owner 2 pull d JRT out from foxholes during hunts. Dey shld also look alert, full of vigor n play. But dese mayb difficult 2 c n judge ven dey r still pups.
Happy hunting 4 ur perfect rascal __________________________________________________
