Jack Russell Havanese Mix
A Jack Russell Havanese mix is a cross between a Jack Russell Terrier and a Havanese. Most grow into small dogs of 10–15 lb and live 14–16 years.
Photos show the purebred parents. There is no single look for a mix: puppies in one litter can resemble either side.
How big does a Jack Russell Havanese Mix get?
Pounds. The dark band is where most Jack Russell Havanese Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.
Height runs 11–13 inches at the shoulder, against 13–14 in for the Jack Russell Terrier and 8.5–11.5 in for the Havanese.
Figures use the Parson Russell Terrier standard, the AKC breed closest to the Jack Russell.
Coat, energy and training
Havanese has a low-shedding coat, so some puppies shed little. It is not guaranteed: coat type varies even within one litter, and no dog is truly hypoallergenic.
Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.
The Jack Russell Terrier rates moderate and the Havanese high; a puppy may lean either way.
Brush a couple of times a week.
Temperament
The Jack Russell Terrier is usually described as friendly, clever, athletic. The Havanese as intelligent, outgoing, funny. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
