Are Jack Russell Terriers known to have arthritis?

My Jack is constantly shaking, while on his legs. He is relatively old now- 12 years, however he is in perfect health, aside from the tremors in his legs. Could this possibly be arthritis? Is this breed known to have arthritis?

Tremors
by: Greg

My Jack Russell will be 12 in Feb 2012. He has had tremors in one leg since he was a pup. I've discussed with several vets and all have concluded it's nothing more than high energy. However, he does have arthritis in his right hip.
