Parson Russell TerrierThis game, hardy little Terrier takes its name from the Rev. John (Jack) Russell, a fox-hunting Parson who rode to the hounds in North Devon, England, until his death in 1888. He was obsessed with the development of an ideal terrier which would flush the fox from its haunts.

Jack Russells are incredibly brave for their size, but also fun loving and extremely loyal. A good watch dog, the J.R.T. makes a satisfactory pet for both older children and adults.

The Jack Russell Terrier comes in three coat varieties - smooth, rough and broken, and all require a minimum of grooming. White must always be the predominant coat colour, with black, tan or brown markings.
