The difference bettween a Jack Russell Terrier and a Parson
Russell Terrier is the Parson Russell Terrier has Longer legs and
therfore is not as stocky as the Jack Russell terrier, but because
the Parson Russell Terrier has longer legs it is also a little
faster Than the Jack Russell terrier. The Parson is recognised by
the Kennel Club, it is a "pedigree dog" with a breed standard. The
Jack Russell comes in many shapes and sizes, it is not recognised
by the K.C. and has no breed standard. They both can have rough,
broken or smooth coats.
