I had a jack russell terrier mix. She had the body of a JRT, but the coat of a dalmation. They are quite a bit of work, but the good thing about it is they are full of energy into their later years too - which is kind of nice.
The one that we adopted was hit by a car, thats why we ended up taking her in - the original owner could care less, and said we could have her. We made a bed for her to lay in and assumed she wasn't going to make it, and wouldn't you know it a few minutes later we came back to check on her and she was running around in our garage.
They are pretty persistent too if they want to do something, and you're not up for it.
