Is there such a breed of dog as a Miniature Jack Russell? If not, what is the breed that looks almost identical?

I have a miniature Rat Terrier. Rat Terriers look very similar to Jack Russells, but the have a more narrow face and not square like Jack Russells. She has pointy ears, not floppy like a Jack Russell. We think that she might be part Rat Terrier and part Chihuahua and that she is just called a "miniature" Rat Terrier.
Rat terriers were finally recognised as a breed in 1996.
150 different breeds can be mixed to get a rat terrier. That is why it took so long to be recognised.
There are 3 sizes because of this, also.
Perky A ears and a thin muzzle are 2 trademarks of this breed.
We had one. She was a loveable, loyal, smart friend
I have 2 JRT's one is called an English and one and Irish I can't remember which is which (LOL) but they look different and I bred them. The male is Sketty, and the female is Dixie.
This pic is of Dixie she is pregnant in this one she delivered on 3-18-08
and I know this has nothing to do with JRT's but this is my other baby Meatball!!
While not considered a miniature there is a short legged Russel, there cute, smart and usually have a attitude but that may be the owners fault, one thing to remember is that you HAVE to be the Boss, there really persistante if they want to do something, like chase anything that moves and I mean anything, they can be a handful to say the least,,,but i love mine :-)
There is no miniature jr. My female had 7 pups. We kept the runt. You might try that if you want a small one.
This is my mini jack russel Oscar, and my other dog Porter.
Yes there is a mini JR. I have one.
This is my little girl Gabby. She will be 2 in Feb. We are going to look at a new menber of the family Saturday. The guy tells us that it is a mini jack. I just think they are all just small pups. My last three dogs have been rotties. Very fun dogs, But the jack will keep you young. Always on the move. I am so glad we have a place for her to run. She loves to find mice.
My friend has three short legged Irish Jack's. They are so small compared to my Jack-a-Bee (Jack/Beagle mix).
A miniature "Jack Russell" is actually a JRT/Mini Pinscher mix or Mini-Jack. I own 1 and she totally looks like both breeds.
I belive that when people say miniture jrt they are referring to their size rather than what breed they actually are. My mini Jack is tiny and 4 years old. Acts like a puppy, looks like a puppy and behaves like the most obedient dog ever!
Yes I am looking for a mini jrt I had one for 14 years she has passed and I haven't been able to find another she only weigh 7lbs the breeder I got her from has passed away. Any help on finding one?
I have a miniature Jack russell, named Leo (seen on the right) & a Rat terrier, Bandit, (shown on the left in this pic) .. I adore my terriers. Theyre the smartest and sweetest of any dog Ive ever had.
