Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I came very close to buying a show bred parson bout 7/8 years ago... Glad I didnt but the kennel I was looking into buying from was very successfull in the showring at the time was "alne" often wondered since if they worked the dogs or not. Quote Link to post
marshman 7,758 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I've only seen one that was taken out to do earth work. It started easy enough although we had to pick a big earth as the dog was a proper lump. Anyways long story short he jacked after two digs and wouldn't go to ground again . But would start a fight on top with anything. Not my cup of tea I prefer the none papered jacks jmho! 1 Quote Link to post
Barrie 1,325 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) What is a Parson Russell, i've simply never bothered finding out... Is it simply a Jack Russell with papers, less working ability and an inflated price tag..??? The Parson Jack Russell Terrier Club (PJRTC) was first formed in 1983. In the main its committee and membership in those early days consisted of ex members of the Jack Russell Terrier Club of Great Britain (JRTCGB) who wanted to take the working Jack Russell Terrier down the Kennel Club route. It was something which the vast majority of JRTCGB members did not want and as a result this group broke away and formed their own club (PJRTC). Following years of lobbying and representation, in January 1990 the Kennel Club eventually recognised the “Parson Jack Russell Terrier” as a separate breed from the Working Jack Russell Terrier despite their earlier history and in many instances common bloodlines as their working counterparts. If my memory serves me right, the Chairman of the PJRTC at that time was the late Barry Jones, who at that time was also Chairman of the Fell & Moorland WTC and the NWTF. In August 1999, with the agreement of the Kennel Club the PJRTC dropped the word “Jack” from its title and the Kennel Club variation of the Working Jack Russell Terrier became known (as it is today) as the Parson Russell Terrier. I suspect as is normally the case…. Bosun’s pretty much hit the nail on the head. J.M.H.O. - Barrie Edited October 11, 2012 by Barrie 1 Quote Link to post

downsouth 7,432 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) A mate who i got my first black terrier from also had a couple of parsons from Gouldy in the early nineties,A strong bitch out of Flint and he bred her back to a dog called Storm or Stormer,Hard on a fox but showed their true colours when they couldnt bully stuff.Dont know why he bothered with them as the black stuff he had from Gould couldnt be faulted.

Is it simply a Jack Russell with papers, less working ability and an inflated price tag..??? it started when a load of women broke away from the jrtcgb with the view to taking the jack russell into the kc -- saw a parson a few week ago shit jacket no undercoat snippy muzzle long tail dew claws on pink underbelly one cocked ear and long in the leg -- poor effort all round cost the proud new owner 550 notes .. i`d stay well clear or parsons and look at something else Quote Link to post
