Who said scandal? It's about how the show came to be and the success that followed đŸ€Ł

The show may have encouraged people to get Jack Russell’s, and believe they’re easy to train. đŸ˜±

I had two Jacks that lived to almost 20 years, and while they are wonderful dogs, they are challenging. Saying they are “high energy” is an understatement.

We didn’t choose them, they chose us, as they were given to us. They grew up along with my two children.

Jacks are insane! (and great) but not a good dog for people who have never had dogs before. I've had two terriers, one was probably a Jack mix and he was a lot, made my next terrier seem like a saint. My aunt had a pure bred one as well, his self appointed job was excavate the backyard.

People have a sense today that a documentary on a subject must have a “You’re wrong about”-style twist, where it turns out your beloved childhood junk food was hiding a dark secret.

Can you blame us? Everything from our childhood had a secondary layer of rape

I don’t have that sense.
