Coat Types:
|
|
|
|
Jack Russells come in three coat types: smooth, broken and rough. A smooth coat is short all over. A
rough coat is long all over. A broken coat is an in between coat type with long hairs in some places
and short hairs in others. Many people believe the broken and rough coats shed less.

Jack Russells come in three color combinations: tan and white, black and white and tricolored (black, tan

tan (tan with black hairs mixed in). Some Jacks don't have any spots and are solid white.
