Smooth Coats- a coat that does not have trace hairs on the head, face, legs, or body. A smooth coat does not require any alterations to be ready for the show ring. The coat should not be sparse or soft - it should provide protection from the elements. It is double coated.

Broken Coat- a coat that is very similar to a smooth coat but has trace hair on the head, face, legs, or body. A broken coat needs minimal alterations to be ready for the show ring. They will generally only require a quick tidying up. A broken coat should not be soft - it should be harsh to provide protection from the elements. Brokens are double coated.

Rough Coats- a coat that has excess trace hair on the head, face, legs, or body. The hair is longer than on a smooth or broken coat. A rough coat requires more alterations than a broken coat to be ready for the show ring. A rough coat should not be soft or wooly - it should be harsh to provide protection from the elements. Roughs are double coated.

Trace Hair- uncontrollable lengths of hair that does not lay close to the body.
I've shown, worked, and studied Jack Russell Terriers for 9 years. We breed Jrts. Currently we have 6, but we've had way more.
Our current Jrts:
Daydream Truman - Smooth Coat.
Rebely Yelp Storm- Rough Coat
Mouse- Broken Coat
Zi's Magic Dream- Broken Coat.
Krystal Kourt Scootin' Scamper- Broken Coat
Krystal Kourt Laffy Taffy- Smooth Coat
Personally, I prefer the brokens.
Hope that helps! xD Have a nice day!
