Skye’s Personality: A Perfect Blend of Love and Loyalty
Skye is the epitome of a devoted companion. Her affectionate nature shines through in her love for snuggling and playful antics. Here’s what makes her special:

- Loyal Shadow: She loves following her family everywhere, ensuring you’re never alone.

Living with Skye: What to Expect
Skye is adaptable and fits well into various lifestyles, but she has specific needs to thrive:
- Great with Kids: Skye is excellent with children, especially her 6-year-old human sibling, whom she follows devotedly. She’s initially nervous around small kids but warms up with time and patience.
- Dog-Friendly with Care: Skye previously shared her life with an older Rottweiler, playfully nipping his ears and lounging on him. Slow introductions to other dogs are key, as she’s been solo for a few months.
- Home Alone Capability: Skye can handle being alone during the day, making her suitable for working families.
- Leash and Home Behavior: She walks on a leash but isn’t fond of it, preferring to patrol her home. She’s housetrained and not a constant barker, keeping your home peaceful.

Skye’s Unique Needs: Patience and Understanding
Skye is a sensitive soul who requires a patient family to help her adjust:
- Slow to Warm Up: Skye takes time to trust, especially around small children, but becomes incredibly loyal and submissive once comfortable.
- Voice Sensitivity: Raised voices can scare her, so a calm household is ideal.
- Escape Artist Tendencies: Skye may sneak out an open gate for a quick adventure but always returns. A secure yard is essential.
- Cat Compatibility Unknown: Her reaction to cats is untested, so careful introductions would be needed if you have feline friends.

Skye’s Lifestyle: Flexible and Comfortable
Skye adapts to her environment with ease, making her a versatile companion:
- Sleeping Habits: She loves her own bed for cuddly nights but opts to sleep outside when it’s warm, choosing what suits her.
- Short-Haired for Allergies: Her coat is kept short due to her family’s allergies, reducing grooming needs and allergen concerns.

Why Skye Is Your Perfect Match
Skye is a loyal, loving, and adaptable Long-Hair Jack Russell who will bring joy to a patient, understanding family. Her playful spirit, devotion to her loved ones, and ability to fit into various lifestyles make her an exceptional companion.

About the Jack Russell Terrier Breed in South Africa
The Jack Russell Terrier, also known as the Jack Russell, or simply JR, is a small, energetic breed popular in South Africa for its spirited personality and loyalty. Typically weighing 5-8 kg and standing 25-38 cm tall, these dogs are known for their white coats with brown or black markings. Long-Hair Jack Russells, like Skye, have a slightly softer, longer coat compared to their short-haired counterparts. They are intelligent, adaptable, and thrive in active households but require consistent training and mental stimulation.
