What to Look For

In a Good

Jack Russell Terrier

Background

The Reverend Jack Russell was very interested in Fox Hunting and saw the need for a small terrier to be used to flush out foxes that had gone to ground. In 1814 he acquired a terrier bitch named Trump from the local milkman which became his foundation bitch - and so the breed was born.

The first Jack Russells were quite tall dogs (35cms) but over the years the breed has changed, and there are now two distinct varieties which are recognised as separate breeds - the Parson Jack Russell which measures between 33 - 35 cms - and the Jack Russell which measures between 25-30 cms.  There are three coat varieties - Smooth, Broken, and Rough Coat.

Jack Russell Terriers are great little hunting dogs and will tackle anything from a fox to a mouse.  They are very intelligent which make them ideal for not only Showing, but for Agility, Obedience and Earth Dog Trials.

They are wonderful friends, companions and will play with children for hours while still being adaptable enough to be enjoyed by the elderly.  They will be at home in either your home or as outside dogs.  All in all, these are great little dogs with great big hearts, big enough to love everyone.
