Introduction

The Jack-a-bee is a Jack Russell Terrier crossed with a Beagle, creating a small to medium-sized dog with a big personality. Both parents were originally bred for hunting, so while relatively small in stature the Jack-a-bee is robust by nature, and has become a popular family pet and companion.

History

The Jack-a-bee’s origins are unknown, but like other “designer dogs” and popular hybrids, the first intentionally mix was most likely in the 1990s and in North America. The Jack Russell has origins dating back to the 1800s in England and the Beagle’s origins (also English) go way back in history to ancient times.

Personality

Jack Russells are little bundles of energy and Beagles are cheerful, sociable characters, making the Jack-a-bee a winning combination. The mix of breeds does lead to variations in the end result, so the Jack-a-bee’s size and personality will depend on which of the parent’s traits they have adopted. However, both the Jack Russell Terrier and the Beagle are working breeds, meaning the Jack-a-bee is an energetic and lively dog that likes to be kept busy, and as both parents are friendly and affectionate, they are guaranteed to be fun to have around.

Health Issues as a hybrid breed, the Jack-a-bee is less susceptible to hereditary conditions that can affect its purebred parents. Patellar luxation can be an issue in small dog breeds.
Care Tips Jack-a-bees are low maintenance, but they are high-energy. Grooming: a weekly groom with a soft brush will keep their coat in good condition. Feeding: two meals per day of high-quality food. Exercise: one hour daily is the minimum, split into two walks, but two hours would be better and the more free time these high-energy dogs have to run and play in a secure garden, the more settled and happier they will be at home – but they will dig up the flowers!
