Description
Parson Russell Terrier
The Parson Russell Terrier is descended from early primarily white-bodied foxing terriers used in the hunt field. At the end of the 19th Century, these dogs were drawn into the Kennel Club as "fox terriers," but their still-working antecedents were referred to as "Jack Russell" terriers throughout the 20th Century in honor of the Rev. John "Jack" Russell, a noted fox hunter of the 19th Century "The Sporting Parson" who is credited with creating the breed. The rest of the world now recognizes the Jack Russell and the Parson Russell as 2 separate breeds.
