CumbrianJack 2 Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 See this link American KC now recognises the smaller (not Parsons types) JRT as a Russell Terrier. scroll down to near the bottom to view. Whats your thoughts on the breed being registered? & also your thoughts on the dog in the picture? ........................? Should make for a good bit of harmless banter Quote Link to post
valerio 32 Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 The italian KC recognised that small tipe of jack russell a few years ago and they are popular as pets. I think that registered breeds can still be worked if there are serious breeders breeding for work.If you look to gundogs they are registered but still working and working well,90% of the terriers we work here are registered jagd terriers and even my russell is a kc Parson but he does a good work for me.It' a problem of breeders not dogs Quote Link to post
Guest MOLLY Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 That looks like the normal sized Russell to me, not the smaller type? MOLL. Quote Link to post
PBurns 9 Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 No one who is serious about working their dogs goes to the American Kennel Club if they know what they are doing: not the racing greyhound people, the bird dog people, the pulling sled dog people, the herding dog people, or the working terrier people. Can a few working dogs of every breed be found in the AKC? Sure. You can also find an honest man in jail, but it's not where you would start if you knew what you were doing. The working dog people have stand-alone breed registries or no breed registries at all. There is no stopping the creation of "new" breeds of dogs, of course. Just stand back and let it all happen, as it surely will. In the end, there are only two types of terriers: working and not working. Most fall into the latter catagorey. What will be next with white foxing terriers? I predict we will eventually see the John Russell Terrier, the Reverand Terrier, the Penelope Russell Terrier, the Reverand Russell Terrier, and the Old Jock Russell Terrier. The more breeds you make, the more rosettes you can give out at the dog show, and the more puppies you can sell and register. Who is harmed but the dog, and what does IT matter in the Kennel Club equation? Not a bit! Patrick Quote Link to post
