#13 Caring for the animal’s hair is reduced to bathing 1-2 times a month with a special shampoo and weekly brushing.
Jack Russell Terrier haircuts replace trimming - plucking out dead hairs. It is compulsory to trim the ears, paw pads, and the area around the genitals and anus.
Clipping the nails for this breed is a vital procedure. If you cut your claws less than once a month, this leads to a change in the setting of the paws and the gradual development of diseases of the joints of the extremities.
#14 Through the fault of selection, these animals acquired a predisposition to certain diseases.
The most common pathology is hip dysplasia, congenital deafness, and Legg-Perthes disease, in which the head of the femur is rapidly destroyed.
Often there is the so-called "collie eye syndrome", which reveals congenital damage to the retina, blood vessels, and nerves of the eye and various defects of the sclera.
Animals with such disorders are not allowed to reproduce, as they carry defective genes.
#15 Choose a thoroughbred puppy only in good kennels.
Taking the animal "off-hand" you do not get a guarantee that the animal has at least any pedigree and has no birth defects.
