I had one growing up. He would run away from you as fast as he could go. You would call for him and he would stop, look back and then continue to hall arse

Both of my Jack Russells were like that, especially my first one. He would make you look like a freaking idiot trying to catch him. The ONLY way we could ever catch him is that he'd eventually go nosing up to another dog behind a fence (usually 2 blocks away from the house by now), and you could throw a towel over him while he was distracted. My second one disappeared for a couple days. He turned up at the animal shelter in Mandeville.
ETA: I have a Yorkie now that's about 9 months old. He's around 10 lbs., so not a fragile toy Yorkie.I'm quite surprised at how much he is like my Jack Russells. I never realized how much pure terrier a Yorkie could be - was expecting a lap dog. Pleasantly surprised - he's a blast to play with and is an amazing tree frog hunter.
