My opinion , I would say yes! It is very spacious! Its great as it has a zip off floor and top! I havent used either yet inside! Outside in the nicer weather I will be! I don't think you will be sorry! Good luck!

Yes, this would be a great size for a Jack Russel. However, Terriers are very smart and have active digging tendencies. I recommend lots and lots of obedience training and walks (or allowing him to dig ) to burn off some energy before putting him away. If he has lots of chew toys to attract his attention this would be great. It is soft, and he can't hurt himself or get stuck like a crate. Just be careful to watch and make sure he doesn't chew the mesh or edges of the windows and you should be fine. Lots of room for pee pads etc.

ABSOLUTELY! We used one for our yorkie for over 8 months. You will have to use the top with him becauseJack Russell's can JUMP!

Im sorry..i cant answer your question..i have a rabbit!But the windows are mesh..so i would assume if a dog got a toe nail caught in the netting ..he could rip it...but i do like the zipper floor ! It does keep a pet from escaping out the bottom! So other models have small velcro tabs that hold their bottoms on..this brand is more secure.Im sure this would be ok For your pup...other people reccommend these soft sided pens for their pets.. i use this for my house bunny when i leave him at my bunny sitter.

I was in love with this playpen until my shih tzu started his puppy stage and started chewing on the zipper of one of the doors. He finally chewed a hole in that door. I turned the playpen around so that chewed door was against a wall. Well it took him 1 day to figure out how it still worked for an escape. Now I just leave it open and he will get in it for a nap during the day.

It works great for my 2 Yorkies. I had to safety pin the 2 zippers together because they figured out how two open it. My 8 pound girl is very agile and a trouble maker too.

My jack Russell is16 lbs. fits her just right, I think it would be a bit small for your lab mix.

I definitely think it will last you a few years. My jack russells managed to jump over it easily at 6 months old so if your dog is a jumper, you might want to reconsider

Depends on the puppy. Yorkie, probably not. We used it on our mixed breed pup starting at about 16 weeks old (she is now 55 lbs.) to safely run around and it was fine. Being klutzy and crazy at that age she sometimes got it tangled up. it is LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG and strong!

You can use it on a puppy if you wish. Just make sure that it the puppy can not slip out of it and they do not pull. If the puppy is a puller I would not use this at this time.

Oh, yeah!! I tried a couple other ones before this that were way too weak and uneffective. I have a Rotty puppy, he's now 90 pounds and only getting bigger. It still works when I need it because he's young and testing me every day, but he's a quick learner especially with this and because of this he's a really good dog!! I hope that helps!! I actually got this one first of this brand, got sick of changing batteries and went to the rechargeable, a step up with yellow on it, love it. Just put it on the charger every night and you're good to go all day if you need it!! Good luck!!

HiI tried this for my adult Yorkie/Jack Russell, he refused. I don't think it is a matter of size, but a matter of habit. My little guy, approx 7 kilos simply refuses to go inside no matter what.

I have this bed for my jack Russell. It's perfect for her. I do not think it would be big enough for your dog.

My Jack Russell Terrier, yes! My friend's lab, no! It is sturdy, but not big enough really unless the lab sits very still-but still would be a tight fit. My JRT sits in the little storage area behind me! it's perfect!

Hi Joe, I agree with previous comments, depends on the size of your puppy, but if you decide to purchase one, they are wonderful, Cassie absolutely LOVES it, I put peanut butter in for a treat and also frozen mince when we are away from home and she is in her kennel, keeps her occupied for hours. Also great for training ie fetch

Nope, I got my dog when she was 6 months and she was ok on her own until the dreaded chewing of cords etc. So I started crating her, she learned to crate surf so you may need to put a mat or something under the crate (I use a bath mat that has a a rubber no slip backside) it put an end to finding her in the crate in the middle of the room, LOL. THey also say for every month the dog is they can go an hour of holding it. But I wouldn't like to wait 12 hours every day to go pee so I am sure even though my dog can hold it she wouldn't like to either, but if you have no choice it comes down to what makes a safe environment for your pet and your house when you are not home.

Michelle, if your puppy doesn't mind the weight of the Goughnut it would be great. Mine seems to think it's too heavy, so she doesn't bother with it... ours will last forever.

My dog is an 18lb jack Russell/corgi mix and the small ThunderLeash works for her

I have a 3.4lb yorkshire terrier and she hasn't been able to squeeze through. She's not overly adventurous though. If your little guy is pretty adventurous, then I would be worried about him trying to squish through, but in general I think it is fine for our tiny little ones.

My Jack Russell loves this toy...we just put her regular kibble in it and she will eat it, even if she has a full bowl of food nearby that she isn't interested in. Since her kibble is not a messy, crumbly type of food, it doesn't make any mess. We block off an area for her to play in since the ball can roll under low pieces of furniture, requiring our assistance to get it out. When the ball is empty, we take it apart and show her, then put it up. She has never tried to chew on it, but then again, she is an older dog.

I was it weekly and have had it for six months (for my dog) It is holding up very well. As long as the puppy doesn't chew it up it should be fine.

No reason why not. I know it can be hard to get a jack russell to sit still but my dog is pretty jumpy and she'll at least let me give her a once over every few days and that really cuts down on the hair on furniture and clothes. She seems to enjoy it. And it's wildly more effective than the coat-plucking method. Been there.
