For all dogs, its generally recommended to offer twice a day feedings ... morning & evening. Some dogs and some *breeds* are fine having food available 24/7 and letting them eat when ever they want. JRT as the breed can easily go both ways (getting obese if food is always available, or eating only when truly hungry)

Example: One breed of dog not recommended to generally 'leave food available for' is the Basset Hound ... bassets are notoriously food motivated, so it is especially important to make sure food is only available two or three times a day for their breed, and always take into consideration any snacks you may feed.

One reason to feed twice a day (splitting their total meal in half or slightly larger portion in the morning) is to help establish a routine for your dog. Another option is to feed morning and evening, and leave a timed food / treat dispenser available ... with a JRT, this might be beneficial, as they would get a morning meal... and through out the day they could get a snack which keeps them more active..

JRT's are notoriously active and intelligent dogs, doing something to keep them from being destructive would be the goal of having things like filled/stuffed Kongs and timed treat release holders.
