Jack Russell Terrier, also called Parson Russell Terrier or Parson Jack Russell Terrier, breed of terrier developed in England in the 19th century for hunting foxes both above and below ground. It was named for the Rev. John Russell, an avid hunter who created a strain of terriers from which are also descended the Wire Fox Terrier and the Smooth Fox Terrier. Though it is not known which dogs he crossbred, it is believed that Bull Terriers and Beagles were among the breeds used.
The Jack Russell Terrier has a double coat—predominantly white with black, tan, or black-and-tan markings—that is harsh and weatherproof and may be either rough and wiry, broken (intermediate), or smooth. About the size of a fox, the Jack Russell Terrier stands 12 to 14 inches tall (30 to 35 cm) and weighs 13 to 17 pounds (6 to 8 kg).
Its legs are longer than those of many other terriers, enabling the dog to pursue its prey on foot. It has a “button ear,” which folds forward. Its tail can be docked to a few inches, traditionally left long enough to provide a handhold to pull the dog from a fox’s burrow. Tail docking is optional, relative to the breed standard, and occurs primarily in those dogs that are bred for fox hunting. The breed is noted for its tenacity, courage, energy, and strong hunting instinct.
Jack Russle were originally used as hunting dogs, to hunt badgers, rabbits and foxes. The smaller Jack Russle were used for hunting badgers and rabbits, and the larger for hunting foxes. Their small legs and long bodies make them excellent hunters for going underground into badger's sets or rabbit's nests.
