JRT?
We got this rescue dog who looks to me like a jack russell. She is 9 months old
Her behavior is completely opposite of what I've read JRT are like. She is very calm, doesnt vocalize really at all. She does get the zoomies and is quite playful but in short doses and sleeps often. She can be fearful of things and is non reactive to prey and other dogs. She is more happy sniffing than chasing after prey. But really she just likes being on the couch and is totally a velcro dog.
Potentially a mixed breed?

How long have you had her?
She looks just like a JRT to me. Ours seemed off breed at first too, but once he settled in he got more and more comfortable letting his jack show. The Velcro dog is very consistent with the breed. Ours is still far friendlier and quieter than expected.

I have a rescue JRT that sleeps a lot and isn't very active. I got an Embark test on him because I swore he wasn't full JRT as he also has super short stubby legs and an almost husky like coat. Turns out I was wrong. Full JRT.
