Jack Russell
Jack Russell Terrier - the Facts Every Owner of This Dog Breed Should Know
Originally bred in the 19th century by Parson Jack Russell, an avid hunter, selected traits that would assist him in hunting. Working dogs, Jack Russell Terriers were bred to be fearless and feisty to flush out prey from the forest, particular foxes. As a working dog, Jack Russell Terriers tend to have an athletic build and boundless energy. Jack Russell Terriers are very intelligent, but also willful and stubborn, which can make them extremely difficult to train without consistency.
As a hunting and working dog, Jack Russell Terriers do have the hunting instinct in them and have been know to consider smaller household pets prey. However, this does not mean that they cannot be good family pets. Jack Russell Terriers are usually very good with children and gentle with them if they understand how to approach dogs. Jack Russell Terriers live 15 years or more. They grow to an average 10 to 12 inches in height and 14 to 18 pounds in weight. Jack Russell Terriers have several different types of coats of the shorthaired variety (some are smooth, some are not) but all are easy to maintain with regular brushing.
Jack Russell Terriers are suited for all kinds of living, but do need to be exercised regularly, at least once a day, due to their seemingly boundless energy. Without regular opportunities to exercise and play, they will become bored and begin to bark at everything and become destructive. If a Jack Russell Terrier must be left alone for an extended period of time without the opportunity to exercise, it is recommended that they be crated until it is possible to let them exercise.
Jack Russell Terriers are fearless and will run off without thinking. A fenced in area is a must for a Jack Russell Terrier, but the fence needs to be deep enough as they are diggers, and tall enough to not jump over. An average sized Jack Russell Terrier can jump five feet quite easily. There are some health concerns with the breed. Some Jack Russell Terriers are prone to dislocation of the kneecaps, inherited eye diseases, deafness, Legg Perthes - a disease of the hip joints, and cataracts. Currently, there is some dispute about the breed and breed standards. The AKC does not officially recognize the Jack Russell Terrier, considered a working dog. It only officially recognizes the Parson Russell Terrier.
There is a website that has great information on Jack Russell Terriers and most other breeds of dogs. It has details that pertain to a dog breeds health, grooming, living conditions, best food choices and more, the website is called: Dog And Cat Facts, and can be found at this url:

What are dog breeds similar to jack russell terriers?
i recently lost a jack russell terrier and i am planning on getting another dog. i was thinking another jack russell just because i love their personalities but i'd like to consider other dog breeds. what do you think? im fine with dogs that have a lot of energy and bark a lot (typical jack russell).
my main thing is that whatever dog breed i get needs to have a TON of personality
smaller dog is preferable
JRT's are great dogs. I'm partial to them, myself. Make sure that you either go through a rescue (the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America is a great one) or that you find a breeder who does GENETIC testing (not just a vet check-up) and who works their dogs.
That said, you have some great suggestions above with the Westies and the Fox and the Rat Terriers.
Some other great breeds that might work for you: Cardigan Welsh Corgi (Pembrokes are nice too, but they're slightly less active), Norwich Terrier, Norfolk Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Scottish Terrier, Miniature Pinscher, Dachshund, and don't forget to check the shelters for a small dog that would fit your lifestyle and needs a home.
