Because Jack Russell purists don't want the working qualities of the JRT to be diluted in the quest for the perfect show dog. Hence the creation of the Parson Russell, which is the AKC registered show dog version of the JRT. The JRT remains a breed focused more on function than form.
The Jack Russell Terrier is primarily recognized as a single breed, but there are variations within it, such as the Parson Russell Terrier and the Russell Terrier. These variations differ slightly in size and conformation but share similar characteristics. The breed's classification can vary by different kennel clubs, leading to some confusion about the number of distinct types. Overall, while the Jack Russell is one breed, it encompasses a few recognized variations.

A Jack Russell is a breed of terrier.
The term "Jack Russell Terrier" generally refers to a specific breed, but there are variations within the breed itself, mainly classified into two types: the Parson Russell Terrier and the Russell Terrier. The Parson Russell Terrier is taller and has a more athletic build, while the Russell Terrier is smaller and more compact. While these are the primary types recognized, individual breeding practices may lead to variations in appearance and temperament among Jack Russells. Overall, there are not officially distinct breeds but rather recognized variations within the Jack Russell Terrier category.
