Did you know that the Jack Russell Terrier can jump up to five times its own height? That means even your cute little shorty Jack can leap around five feet into the air. And if you have one of the taller varieties, well, you’d better have a good, tall fence to go with it.
They jump for sport, they jump to escape, they jump for food, and they’ll jump for a toy. One thing we can all agree on, though, there’s nothing like a jumping jack jumping for joy.
Here are some of our favorite jumping jacks.
