digdigger 1 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I've a parsons x jack hes 3 now and going well if you read about the breed it will tell you that the parson russel was bred before the jack russel and wsa designed to run witha pack of foxhounds then go to ground when needed, hence they are leggier than Jack russels. The problem with them now is that parsons russels are a registered kennel club breed and therefore many of them have been breed for the show ring. As far as age goes i had mine out with the gun from day 1 started him off with an airgun then progressed to the shotgun, but i didnt enter hiim to ground till he was about 14 months i fell that a dog should be minimum of a year for earth work but i know of plenty of dogs that have been in at 7/8 months and going well. Good luck mate I love my russels especially if you get lucky and find a hard 1 Quote Link to post
