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.

∙ 14y agoThere is no coat difference between Parson Russells and Jack Russells - both breeds can have rough coats, smooth coats or broken coats. The main differences are leg length, with the Parson Russell being generally longer-legged (although it is possible to have a Parson Russell which is shorter than a Jack Russell, it's simply that the breed standard for Jack Russells allows a shorter minimum). Basically, the Parson Russell is a show-dog version of what was originally a working dog, the Jack Russell Terrier.

∙ 14y agoThe difference between a Jack Russell and a Parson Russel (or Parson Jack Russel or Jack Russel Parson) is that the coat is slightly more wirey on the Parson, the Jack Russel has shorter legs, a longer snout and is smaller in general. Click on both of the related links I've added to see pictures of them both.
The Parson Russell is a recognized breed under the all-breed dog clubs such as the AKC, and thus can be entered in dog shows. It is less of a practical working dog, whereas the Jack Russell Terrier is bred to maintain the original working qualities which the breed was developed for - ie hunting small game.

∙ 9y agoIn 2004, the American Kennel Club decided to recognize the Jack Russell terrier. The AKC changed the breed name to Parson Russell terrier. The two breeds are now distinct from one another due to selective breeding. Parson terriers are taller, have deeper chests, and tend to be calmer.

∙ 13y agoThere is only one breed of JRT. If someone is advertising a "miniature," they are simply using a jimick to try and charge more for out-of-standard dogs. For example, if I had a litter of German Shepherds, and one was a runt and waaaay too small I could advertise it as a "mini" and some sucker may pay me EXTRA for my defective dog. Don't fall for marketing tricks when it comes to dogs
