How old do Jack Russell's live to and will my male puppy ever wee like a male dog?

  • I just wondered...Please answer.


  • Jask russels can live up to fifteen years or more, excluding health problems and such.

    Male puppies will often continue to squat like a girl from an early age up to a year or two in some cases, generally they will start to lift their leg eventually.

    However, some dogs never do, which is not a problem. Sometimes its because they were nuetered early enough, or watched other dogs do it that way. But either way, many people prefer a dog that doesn't lift its leg, so don't worry about it!


  • If he's a puppy, just wait. I had a male puppy a few years back and he would pee like a girl for the first few weeks. Then he would grow more accustom to raising his leg to pee. Give him time.


  • male puppies squat until their equipment grows big enough for them to get wet unless they lift their leg. (they say leg lifting is a learned behavior but my male doxies have never been around another male except each other and they have started lifting their legs but will still occasionally squat)

    so yes, even if you neuter him, he will lift his leg to wee eventually.

    as to life expectancy: the average life span of a small dog is about 13-15 years. Take care of him and he could live to see 18 or 20.


  • I assume you mean the whole lifting the leg thing to pee like a male dog? That is a learned behaviour. If he isn't around any other male dogs, he won't learn to do that.


  • Yes when we got our male miniature jack russel ages 7 weeks, he peed like a little girl

    now he pees like a male all the time, its just what they do


  • he probably will he'll probably just be like that while hes small

    my jack russell is 18 years old now


  • a well-cared for animal could live to be 13-15 years old or older. and yes- he will eventually lift his leg.


  • Male dogs usually only pee like "a male dog" if they are marking their territory. they pee like a girl if they aren't threatened


  • Lifting the leg to pee in a learned behavior, all newborn puppies squat to pee. If the litter is around a male dog then they will learn very early. If the male puppy is never sees another dog do it then they most likely never will. Squatting is a blessing, once they learn to lift their leg they will start marking their territory all over your property...maybe your car, your bike, the side of the house. trust me, your better off if he squats forever....


  • they live till bout 15 and if you mean will he ever cok his leg then me may he may not ...2 out of my 3 males dont cok there legs its nothing to worry about its if there not peeing at all then u shud worry


  • my jack russel lived till it was 15
    and if not peeing correctly
    see about getting help


  • Wee like a male dog?

    Not sure what you're getting at.


  • I am not sure how long they live, I would imagine between 12 and 15 years. However, I had a puppy that did not lift his legs until he was 2-years-old. He was on a walk and saw another boy dog lift his leg, and he did it from then on. ha ha
