We have a 2 year old jack/chihuahua boy, very loving and full of energy. My wife is wanting to get a 11 month jack russle boy as well. Is this a good idea?

Jack Russels are very high energy dogs that require a lot of attention and exercise. If you have the time to devote to both dogs to meet their training, attention, and exercise needs, then there's no reason why you can't get this dog.
