Parson Russell

[top terrierman 90]

best of luck with the pup.i have one that i started to work last season his a good fox dog and has had a few nice digs last season.heres a picture of him his a parson russel in my eyes

[takman511 42]

my russells dog is half parsons

[awen 29]

not really. a "parson type" maybe leggy, but to be a "parson" they need to be registered and have pedgriee.

i have a parson russel he is now 8 i rescued him from a house at 5 weeks old, did some chexking up on him and found out he was bred in birmingham,i was offered 700 pound for him from a breeder(but could not sell him). hes a fantastic ratter/ rabbiter and wondered if anyone could tell me if a russel really was worth that much without pedigree. (my other dog is patterdale x staffi)

i am also looking to breed of both my dogs if anyone is interested.

thats a very nice animal TT....

 

i'm a bit confused on what parson russells and what jack russells are supposed to be and how the clubs came up with the breed standards?? any book i ever picked up always said that the reverend russell considered any white bodied dog that could go to ground would be a terrier for the hunts... he disliked smooth coated white terriers because at the time a smooth coat suggested that there was bull blood in the make up and that would make the dog too hard for what was required in a bolting dog... now a days i see alot of 'parson russells' with smooth coats and carrying papers... it just seems to me that as long as they are leggy they can be labelled with the 'parson' tag?? and the wee short bow legged fellow (that doesnt seem to be as common nowadays) is labelled as a jack russell... when i was a cub the local terrier men considered the short legged russell with a smooth coat was a jack russell and anything with a longer leg was labelled as an 'english' russell because a short bodied and straight legged russell was uncommon here... the thing is, the wee bow legged dog that used to be very common here was always labeled as a jack russell but when in comparison to what the reverend russell considered a terrier for the hunt the only thing they have that relates to his description is a white body, is it not??? so i guess what i'm trying to figure out is that, have the 2 breed standards drifted away from what the reverend russell considered as a foxing terrier??? and how did the short legged and long bodied and sometimes bow legged russell ever become to be called a russell??

 

on looks would the rev not have considered this bitch over Fish...E's as suitable??? i have no papers with mine

As to my knowledge the Parson was breeding "working Fox terriers". So we talk about square bodied dogs from the beginning.

When he died his relatives and other people tryed to sell everything that was white bodied with markings as Parson's own dogs as this way they could sell them for better price.

 

 

As for Clubs:

JRTC of GB uses another standard than the KCs. I would say it is more for working dogs. They actually have what KC people would call as Parsons.

The JRTC of GB has several Clubs in many countries all over the world, for example in the USA (JRTCA), in Germany (JRTV), in Japan, in South Africa, etc.

 

KC has "Parson Russell terrier" (the long legged, nearly square bodied). The KC doesn't register the short legged form, claiming it is an Australian type and has nothing to do with the KC PRT.

 

FCI does register both Parson Russell terrier and Jack Russell terrier. Parson for them is from 12" and up (though they do not measure) and Jack Russell is until 12". But it's more the type that is another, the FCI JRT is more looking like a Dachshund and the PRT like a FT. There are 13" FCI JRTs and they win at shows, but there are not really smaller PRTs winning at any show.

 

With AKC I'm not sure. I think it has the Parson (as in other FCI countries) and it has the Russell terrier, or Shortie(?) which I believe refers to the short legged type.

 

There are some Clubs using the name "Parson Jack Russell terrier" as they do not want to be confused with the FCI Jack Russells, nor with the show type Parson Russells. Those Clubs mostly breed accoring to the JRTC of GB standard.

 

 

 

Idiot system and you can never know what your mate means when saying "Jack Russell terrier". Parson at least is for sure.

 

 

 

Hope it helped,
