Basic Description: The Reverend John Russell was a 19th century parson with a passion for fox hunting, for which he developed a well-known
strain of Fox Terriers. From this strain was developed the Smooth and Wire Fox Terriers, and the Jack Russell Terrier. In addition, however, a
fourth breed was also developed from the parson’s hunting terriers. This was a smaller, longer-bodied, shorter-legged dog that was used almost
exclusively to hunt vermin and bolt rabbits. For years, Jack Russell Terrier breeders referred to these dogs as “puddin’ dogs” or “puds,” and some-
times just “shorties.”
In England, Ireland, and Australia, the longer-legged square dog is known as the Parson Russell Terrier, while the lower, longer dog is called the
Jack Russell Terrier. In the United States, however, the name Jack Russell Terrier has been universally applied to the long-legged dogs.
UKC recognized the short-legged dogs as Russell Terriers on January 1, 2001.
