Passionate~Hunter 9 Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'm still tied between a leggy Russell and a plummer now. On the one hand a Russell seems cheaper and a lot easier to get hold of. (a women breeds them not 30minutes away from me) But the plummer is a very attractive dog and from what people have said would suit my needs better. :hmmm Quote Link to post
dusk til dawn 169 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 To be honest mate if your torn between a parson or plummer and looks is whats the difference then theres not really any advice worth listening to, its up to you and cosmetics is the bottom line.... iam not going to mention the plummers cos I don't know a great deal about them apart from there excellent ratters. parsons well to me there your allrounder , if you want to go down the pure route youll have to do your own homework.... it wont be hard to get info... under ground russels and only under ground russells day in day out wont have kc papers but they might have a mix of worker from other breeds ... so seek and you shall find, eventually !

Accip74 7,112 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I've never got anything local.........a days travelling shouldn't put you off, when looking for the right stuff. Quote Link to post
Passionate~Hunter 9 Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I probably worded my last post wrong. I am more than happy to travel to the bottom of the country or even into Ireland if needs must for the right dog etc. After having read up on both breeds it would appear that I will just have to have a good think about how much earth work I plan on doing and make a decision from there. The good side is I am sure I want either a plummer or a parsons. Quote Link to post
Accip74 7,112 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 If you really can't see yourself doing much earth work, then don't make it a factor.......it's nice having an all rounder, but more realistic to concentrate on one thing Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I've really never understood the name 'Parson Russell', why can't they just be good 'ol fashioned 'Jack Russell', because thats all they really are and like any other type, some were nicer lookin than others, big deal, didn't need to give 'em a daft name..! Never heard the term Parson in front of Russell until a few years ago. Anyways, without doing a search Google or thumbing through a book, wasn't it the Reverend John (Jack) Russell who the breed is named after... Is a Parson and a Reverend the same? What the feck has a Parson got to do with it anyway? Why couldn't the twerp who started calling them Parson Russell's call 'em reverend Russell's instead..? Quote Link to post

Why couldn't the twerp who started calling them Parson Russell's call 'em reverend Russell's instead..? thats easy bosun. once they registered the PARSON JACK RUSSELL. they had to distance it from the identical JACK RUSSELL. otherwise everyone would have bought the identical unregistered jack russell for half the price . after these JACK RUSSELLS were regd they where still overlooked by folk trying to get identical terriers for a keener price.making them hard to shift. hence a second name change. taking the JACK. out of the JACK RUSSELL. and replacing it with parson. this seems to have helped with moving the overpriced JACK RUSSELLS on. .as PARSON RUSSELLS. hope this clears thing up for you ....................................................................................................................................................................... i could have just wrote it was money that was the reason. but thats to easy. 3 Quote Link to post
