the bigest player in the world ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.akc.org/breeds/parson_russell_terrier/index.cfm The Parson Russell terrier is a name change; it was formally the Jack Russell terrier.
Jack Russel Terrier, or Parson Russel Terrier.
Jack Russell terrier also called parson Russell terrier.
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.

They can and do, sometimes to excess. You may be confusing the JR for the Besenji, called the 'barkless' dog.
There are two different coat types for the Parson Russell terriers, aka. the Jack Russell Terrier. smooth or rough, they don't change as the dog ages, you get what you got.
They had to bark to the badgers and foxes under the ground. So that the came out of their holes and then they could be hunted on.
They are related to parson terriers the parson terrier has a larger chest and a longer head and overall have a bigger body size also the jack russell originates from england, hoped this helped :D
Some examples of dog breeds that look alike include the Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute, the Border Collie and Australian Shepherd, and the Jack Russell Terrier and Parson Russell Terrier.
One of the strongest dog breeds is the American Staffordshire Terrier which has similar traits to the American Pit Bull Terrier. Some more strong dog breeds are the Bull Terrier, Whippet, Parson Russell Terrier, Siberian Huskey, Alaskan Malamute, Australian Cattle Dog, Doberman Pinscher, Boxer, Rottweiler, Greyhound, etc,.
Yes, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier was originally bred to kill rats for pest control and organised ''ratting'' competitions. However, I have a Staffy and two pet rats and my Staffy is scared of them! There are many breeds that were bred for vermin control, including the Jack Russell Terrier, Parson Russell Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Norfolk Terrier, Lakeland Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Border Terrier, Patterdale Terrier and many more. In fact, pretty much all Terriers were originally bred to kill rats.
No. They are registered separately under JRT clubs. The AKC recognizes the Parson Russell, which is a kind of "show dog" variation on the working Jack Russell Terrier.
