Does a Jack Russell terrier shed?

Answer 1

Yes, of course they do. It is in the nature of all dogs that as seasons change they either lose (shed) or gain fur depending on the weather. In the summer they lose much more fur than if it was winter. Jack Russell Terriers shed all year round, just the same as how people lose hair each day, just not the same amount. But this should not make you not want to get this dog. They are easily trained, loving animals. If you want a dog that does not shed, get a dog that has hair, not fur.

Answer 2

They shed an outrageously large amount. If you have one inside, you will definitely want to invest in a broom and dust pan and a lint brush. Definitely.
Yes, not a ton though. I have two shorthairs and they shed quite a lot. But long hairs do tend to shed more than short hairs. If you are thinking of getting this breed, buy a lint brush!

Answer 3

My dogs rough coat sheds, but it is long and light hair. A moist hand in a swirl motion picks it up and accumulates it easily. Great dog, loves people and entertains himself.

Answer 4

Jack Russell Terriers are short-haired dogs, so even though they do lose hair, they do not shed on a seasonal basis.
