Mickey the Jack Russell / Beagle hybrid (Jack-A-Bee) at 3 years old—"He is the most lovable dog and loves to give kisses, play ball and go for long walks! Oh and he is a die-hard Eagles fan! GO Philadelphia Eagles!"

Buckley the Jack-A-Bee at 2 years old—his owner says, "He is the most playful dog I've encountered and has more energy and stamina than I know what to do with at times. Besides that, he is a GREAT family dog. He has been extremely gentle around our new baby. Amazing, smart, fun dog."

Penny the Jack-A-Bee (Jack Russell / Beagle mix breed dog) at 6 months old—"She has the best traits of a Beagle and the best traits of a Jack Russell all mixed into one! I was told she was ¾ Beagle ¼ Jack Russell, but I think she is more Jack Russell. She loves taking walks, swimming, and is CRAZY about fetch. I have recently purchased a chuck it! ball launcher and Penny absolutely loves that my throws now have more distance! She was easy to train, is very obedient and loyal, and is great with her younger "sister" Daisy, a Beagle."
Chaz the Jack-A-Bee (Beagle / Jack Russell mix breed dog) at 7 years old—"Chaz has the Beagle bay and the Beagle appetite for sure. He's very independent, stubborn and is turning into a right grumpy old man, but can be so cuddly when the mood strikes. Chaz and his brother Sprocket, an American Staffie, both have Native American names. Chaz is "Stinky" and Sprocket is "Runs with Stinky"."

"This is Belle, a Beagle / Jack mix (Jack-A-Bee) at about 6 years old. She's bigger like a Beagle but has a lot of Jack Russell markings. Her nose and ears are longer than a Jack's, yet too short for a pure Beagle."
"This is my 8-month-old female Beagle / Jack Russell mix. She is very smart and playful. I just brought her home 2 weeks ago and she was not housebroken or crate-broken yet. She had one accident the first night in her crate and that's it! She has not had an accident in the house for 3 days now and has learned to let me know when she needs to go outside. She is very stubborn, but yet listens very well for a puppy with no training. I taught her how to sit and come within 1 day of coming home. Also only took me 3 days to get her to stop jumping up on people and trying to jump up while we are eating and trying to take our food away. Very responsive to verbal praise. She loves to play with my 4-year-old male Boxer. I've done research on both breeds and she is definitely the best of both! I was surprised how fast it was to housetrain her with her being so old and not being housetrained or crate-trained yet. She is such a joy! I'm so happy that I had adopted her!"
"Mickey and Rosy are 2 rescued puppies, brother and sister. The owner of their mother (Jack Russell Terrier) lost her job in this economy downturn at the same time she realized her dog was pregnant (an accidental pregnancy with a Beagle that lives around her house in the countryside). She had nowhere to turn but a rescue place.
"Then I saw Mickey and Rosy’s picture on Petfinder and I knew they were very sweet puppies. I did a lot of research about the breeds. I was looking for a dog good with kids, dogs, smart, playful, that does not shed too much.
"So we decide to take 2 from a litter of 3. I thought that those type of dogs need to have a dog companion to not get bored. They were 14 weeks when we got them and now they are almost 6 months old. They will be fixed soon so no more accidents!
"I could not be more right; they are the sweetest dogs I ever had. Submissive but smart, playful with each other and the kids but not hyper (as soon you pick them up the love to have a belly rub for hours and many time they fall asleep). They endure my 5-year-old daughter's energy. For now we do not have a fence yet, but they are happy with a 20-minutes walk 3 times a day (perfect for me to get some exercise while waiting for my kids to come home from school), plus 2-3 quick backyard times as they are still puppies. So far not a bark, sometimes we think they are mute. They like to chase each other and play tag and hide-and-seek. As soon as they see a dog or a person outside they soon start to get excited because they want to play with them. They even played with a cat wandering around our neighborhood. If they are without the leash sometimes they take off and they are very, very fast. They love to jump in piles of leaves and go under, hide and then emerge suddenly to get the other one. They love to play with snow and go under it the same way.
"My daughters love them so much that even now they keep saying every morning "Mummy, we love Mickey and Rosy so much that makes us so, so happy!""

Dori the Beagle / Jack Russell Terrier (Jack-A-Bee) as a puppy at 3 weeks old
Dori the Beagle / Jack Russell (Jack-A-Bee) at 3 weeks old—"She has the typical markings and ears of a Jack (ears a bigger, though) and the size of a Beagle. She is energetic, and playful, one of the smartest dogs I've ever owned, and gentle around small children. She's never met a person, or dog that she hasn't liked, and she keeps our yard free from birds, squirrels, and any other nasties which might possibly make their way in."
