There's a new postman in Doggeroo and he doesn't know the rules of the Postman Game. Not only does he accuse Foxie of biting him, but he also calls Jack a mongrel!

Jack Russell: Dog Detective is a light hearted children’s series about the adventures of Jack Russell, who lives in Doggeroo with his human friend, Sarge. The Sausage Situation: Foxie is on a diet, and Jack has things on his mind. When Auntie Tidge takes delivery of boxes of sausages, Foxie is delighted, until Caterina Smith takes them all away. Foxie is determined that Jack must solve the case of the stolen sausages, but Jack, for once, isn't sure there even is a case. He and Foxie join Lord Red, Auntie Tidge, Sarge, Caterina Smith, Polly and just about everyone else at the Doggeroo Dog and Sausage Day. There are sausages galore, and plenty of schemes and drooling dogs, but is there really a thief? Well, yes. Jack solves the case, but he still has other things on his mind. When will Sarge take him to visit his friend Jill Russell? The Buried Biscuits: Jill Russell has a secret, and Foxie is as angry as a terrier can be. Someone tossed a packet of biscuits over Foxie's fence, and Auntie Tidge took them away. This means war. Since Foxie adores Auntie Tidge he has to fight with someone else- Jack. But Foxie isn't the only dog acting strangely. Lord Red has found something interesting down at the reserve, and soon all the dogs of Doggeroo are playing hunt the biscuit. Bellyaches result, the vet is cross, and the dogs find themselves under house arrest. All but Jill Russell, who is much too busy for biscuits. Finally, Jack solves the case, but can he ever look at a biscuit again? The Kitnapped Creature: Someone is imprisoned in a horrible cage, but why is Jack trying to get caught by Ranger Johnny Wolf? What is Foxie up to? And just who is sharing Jack's basket these days? Everything is fine in Doggeroo until Sarge falls ill. Auntie Tidge is at hand to look after Jack, but Foxie is being disagreeable (again). When will Sarge be back? In no time, Jack has both a case and a moral dilemma - or even two.

Doggeroo has been running its famous Annual Dog Show for 150 years, and this year Jack's landlord, Sarge, is one of the stewards. Someone is nobbling the entrants, muddying their coats just before their classes. Could it be the dogs themselves, striking a blow for the right to roll? Jack thinks not... and is proved right when Lord Red is one of the victims. Jack soon sniffs out the true culprit...
