AND is it possible to tell if a JRT puppy will grow up and have a beard?
depends on how long it has been since the dog last shaved.

JRT/PRT come SMOOTH BROKEN OR ROUGH COATED!!!
SMOOTHS will NOT "have beards"!
REAL breeders can tell which coat a pup has as soon as it's DRY!

two coats smooth and broken broken may have beard
actually easier to tell at birth before dry as coat is wavy

it depends on two factors. the first factor being the dog's natural coat type. from seeing them it seems the the rough hair type are more likely to have the beards.
the second factor is the maintaining of the coat during grooming. some opt to let the hair grow out and others prefer to trim off the beard.

Disregard the the whole name change thing someone mentioned. There still are the true Jack Russell Terriers, recognized by the JRTCA and not the AKC (thank God!)
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.
Yes it is possible to tell what coat type the pup will grow up and have.
