Papijack Breed Details
The Papillon and Jack Russell Terrier mix, as a crossbreed, is not an official member of any breed group. Neither does any info exist about these hybrids' specific origin; while a Jack Russell Terrier x Papillon mix may have existed naturally for a long time, no breeder or breed club has claimed its creation. Papijack dogs likely gained popularity during the designer dog "explosion" in North America in the late 20th century. Whatever the case, these friendly, energetic, often needy little dogs can make great family pets--but owners will need to provide the companionship, exercise, and training their Papijacks might need.
A few facts about the Papillon x Jack Russell mix dog: they're toy- to small-sized, averaging 11 inches at the shoulders in height and 11 pounds in weight; their coat length and texture can vary, but it most often medium-length and fairly silky; and they're very energetic and will need consistent exercise.
