A Jack Russell Boston Terrier Mix is just as it sounds - a cross between a purebred Boston Terrier and a purebred Jack Russell Terrier, both with known lineage. This hybrid is NOT yet recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club or the Designer Dogs Kennel Club, the main hybrid breed clubs and registry services.
This mix seems to be popular, based on the number of submissions we've received on the site. Owners sometimes affectionately refer to this mix as a "Bo-Jack". They seem to have a lot of energy, which is no surprise, given that both parent breeds are energetic.
If you have a Bo-Jack, we'd love for you to share your stories & photos of him. If you're thinking about a Bo-Jack, check out the posts below to see what owners have to say about these dogs.
