Introduction
We don't think it's any coincidence that "Ja" means yes in German! Say yes to this interesting name intro and look through our list of delightful names that begin with "Ja".
Dog Names that Start with 'Ja' in Pop Culture
The Manchester Terrier is an adorable dog breed with interesting traits. You can observe that they have a certain feline quality in their behavior. They can be quite reserved around people that they do not know, but are able to relax around family. Still, they have the typical terrier hunting instinct, but it is noticeably much lower than others of their kin. You can often find this breed as a perfectly behaved family pet, or even winning medals at dog shows.
Given this quality, it may be amusing to find out that dear old Jack was actually terrified of cats! The feline family member, named Tom Quartz, would often bully poor Jack, and she would always chase him whenever he appeared. Despite this playful behavior, they still belonged to the same family and got along.
Jack died during his stay at the White House. He was also buried there shortly afterward. However, at the end of their time on Pennsylvania Avenue, the first lady wanted to move dear Jack to a more personal space. From this action, we can see how much the first lady loved their Manchester Terrier, a fact that can be confirmed in more autobiographical writing about the Roosevelts. Edith Roosevelt was moved to have the coffin exhumed from the White House and proceeded to have him buried at their Long Island home, Sagamore Hill. There lies Jack in peace, away from all the presidents of the USA's present and future.
This presidentiable dog was said to be incredibly smart, as recounted by Ted Roosevelt Jr. in his book. Even if he was said to have bit of a chewing problem, that didn't overshadow his best qualities: he was known to be quite the gentleman!
Dog Names that Start with 'Ja' Considerations

Is your dog spunky and forward or quiet and laid back? Consider these things as you peruse our list.
