Parson Russell Terrier
Mountain West Dog Fanciers
A Guide to all things "DOG" in the Western Mountain States
           
Basic Description: The Parson Russell Terrier was developed in England in the 1800's as a white terrier to work European red fox above
and below ground. He has a harsh, weatherproof coat that can be broken or smooth; small, flexible chest to enable him to pursue his quarry
underground and sufficient length of leg to follow the hounds. At work he is a game hunter, tenacious and courageous. At home he is
playful, exuberant and overwhelmingly affectionate. He is an independent and energetic terrier and requires his due portion of attention.
The name of the Jack Russell Terrier was changed to the Parson Russell Terrier effective April 1, 2003 as requested by the Jack Russell
Terrier Association of America.
