Max is named for the Grinch's dog because I got him the day after Christmas in 1997 and the original Grinch is my favorite Christmas story. I did not know that Max is the 3rd most popular name for a dog in the U.S. or I would probably have picked something else.

Here are some names of other JRTs from www.thejackrussellstore.com web site's gallery of pictures. Having only gone through about 1/2 of the pictures it's amazing to me how few duplicates there are. At least I didn't name him "Jack". <grin>
