Appearance

The Jackabee can have a smooth, short, and shiny coat or a rough, coarse, and long coat. Or a mixed version. The most common colors are white, white, and chestnut, orange, and white, lemon and white, tricolor, tricolor chocolate, white and chocolate or chestnut, and red and white. Jackabee sizes range from 15 to 30 pounds and can reach 15 inches in height.
Temperament
Jackabee usually has a balanced demeanor. Jackabee is a very good-natured and affectionate animal, he is compliant and barks little. This dog is very hardy and unpretentious in care. Jackabee loves walking and learning. He accompanies his master everywhere and fulfills the tasks assigned to him with pleasure. If the Jackabee has enough physical activity, then there are no problems with the pet. They have character traits such as independence and determination. But at the same time, these pets are very funny. The dog is friendly towards children. Especially if it grows with them. But early socialization is very important for the dog.
In raising a dog, it is important to monitor its activity. You can’t let the dog get bored. Otherwise, he will start to spoil things in the house, attracting attention to himself. To avoid this, the dog needs to be regularly trained.
Care

Jackabees come in three different coats, so their grooming needs may vary. They can be long-haired, short-haired, or medium-haired. If they are smooth and short-coated, once a week is more than enough. If they are long, once a day. Frequent bathing of your pet is not recommended. His coat contains a protective lubricant that repels dirt, preventing the coat from getting dirty. After walking in dirty places, it will be sufficient to wipe the animal’s paws with a damp towel or napkins. So, on average, pets are bathed once every 2-3 months.
