what is the difference between a
Parson Russell Terrier? and a Jack Russell?

Is there any difference???

Wow……….ONE correct answer!!! I'm amazed!

NO A MOLECULE of "difference"!!
JRTCA *SUED* to keep their "trademark" breed name when the breed was recognized by AKC…& won.

SHORTIES are defective/deformed CRAP!!!

I was watching the Weisminster dog show and i noticed none of the Parson Russell Terriers had any markings on their backs. Only on the face. We have a pure bred Parsons with the familiar brown spot on its back. Does any body no why this is?

check your standard, but I'm fairly certain it's a bit like the great danes. 99.9% of the time, it's a brindle or a fawn in the ring-but blacks, blues, mantles and harlequins are just as acceptable.

Reasons being:

4. Friendliness

So yeah… I can't decide between the two. I have done a lot of research and i think I am ready.=)

Please help…

I thought they were the same breed but they are not…

They started out the same breed, but now the Parsons are admitted to the AKC and JRTs aren't. JRTs have shorter legs, in general. Both breeds can have smooth or rough. The Parsons, being registered, are bred to the breed standard. JRTs can be more different form one another. Some are more like beagles, some are more like terriers.
Here is the breed standard for the Parsons:

I'll probably have a new Parson Jack Russell Terrier by the end of next week and I need to know how to take care of them… I mean, I knowhow to take care of dogs, but what do I have to do different for Jack Russell's? Are they more independant? Do they need more attention? How often should I bathe him? How long can he stay home alone without going crazy? Are they stubborn? Easy to train?

THESE are the questions I need help with. (You don't have to answer all of them)

First of all, why is it that you have your heart set on a Jack Russell Terrier? I know they are cute and smart, but this is a very tough breed of terrier to train and you are in for some surprises, so prepare yourself and get this breed of dog for the right reasons. There are too many JRTs who are in rescue shelters because their owners did not do their research on the breed. This is a big dog in a little dog’s body. I have a JRT, but it is more like she has me. She is 8 years old and I am still training her, but she is the smartest, most loyal and loving dog I have ever had and wouldn’t have it any other way!

OK, first… you must buy a copy of, “The Complete Idiots Guide to Jack Russell Terriers.” I am going to type out a portion of the forward of this book, so here goes:

“Training any dog, let alone a JRT, is never easy. You need a lot of patience and an understanding of what make your own dog tick before you can be successful in your training endeavors. Although the JRT is an incredibly smart breed, these dogs also are opinionated and are more than a little odd. They have quirky behaviors not found in other breeds, which makes training them a bit of a challenge. They are notoriously hard to focus and can be quite stubborn when they want to be. They certainly are not the dogs for everyone.

If you decide this is the breed for you, I would urge you to have a solidly fenced yard and to be prepared for a whirl-wind of activity. JRTs are NOT couch potatoes. They love to be active, and strong obedience training is a must for this breed. They are good with children and families, and they love to be surrounded by attention. If you are an outdoor person who loves an active lifestyle, such as jogging or camping, this might be the perfect breed for you. If you prefer a more sedentary lifestyle and you are not sure you are ready for the “Tasmanian Devil” of terriers to enter your home, consider another breed for your doggy options.

If you decide to purchase a Jack Russell, be prepared. You will laugh, you will be amazed and frustrated by your dog’s intelligence and you will have a lifelong friend that will probably go to the ends of the earth to try to please you. In other words, you are about to be owned by a Jack Russell Terrier!”

Hope this helps!!

just wondering

The Parson Russell Terriers tend to have slightly longer legs than the Jack Russell Terrier and represents what the breed was bred to look like:

Authorities claim that after Rev. Russell’s death some of his Parson Russell Terrier bloodlines were crossed with the Welsh Corgi and other terrier breeds, creating a different type dog, the "Jack Russell Terrier." The parent club for the breed requested a name change from Jack Russell to Parson Russell Terrier.
