Parson Russell Terrier Information

The Parson Russell Terrier developed in southern England nearly 200 years ago. They are the result of crossings of the now extinct Old English White Terrier and a black and tan terrier that was similar in type to the Manchester Terrier.

The Parson Russell Terrier was previously named the Jack Russell Terrier, however there are still Jack Russell Terriers that are used for hunting and considered as a separate breed. Parson Russell Terriers tend to be more mellow and more suitable for pets while Jack Russell Terriers have a higher energy level as well as high prey drives.

The Parson Russell Terrier should stand at 12 to 15 inches tall. Their coats are short and smooth and can be white, white with black or tan markings or any combination of these colors.

Health concerns in the breed include luxating patella and eye problems.
