The Parson Russell Terrier was formally known as the Jack Russell Terrier. The name of the Jack Russell Terrier was changed to the Parson Russell Terrier effective April 1, 2003 as requested by the Jack Russell Terrier Association of America, which was changed to the Parson Russell Terrier Association of America. It was developed in 19th century England by a clergyman named Jack Russell. This feisty little terrier was used to hunt small game, particularly fox, by digging the quarry out of its den. Breeders have emphasized its working ability, so the standard is very broad, encompassing a wide range of accepted body types. On English hunts, the Parson Russell Terriers were supposed to be long-legged enough to keep up with the hounds. The energetic and playful Parson Russell makes a good family companion. Some of the Parson Russell's talents include: hunting, tracking, agility, and performing tricks.The Parson Russell Terrier is a perky, merry, devoted, and loving dog. Spirited and obedient, yet absolutely fearless. Careful and amusing, he enjoys games and playing with toys. Stable Parson's are friendly and generally kind to children. Children should be taught not to tease or strike the dog.

They used to be the same dog. The AKC set guidelines and limits on size. The Parsons is just a little bigger than the Jack.

Go to akc.org for Parson Russel pics/info and dogbreedinfo.com for Jack Russel info.
The Jack Russel was first. It was orginally recognized by AKC but the JRTCA got upset about something and AKC decided to not recognize the breed as of 2003. The Parson Russel came about shortly thereafter and did originate with the Jack Russel - though they are now different enough to be considered seperate breeds. PR has longer legs and a little different coat and the JR has shorter legs and (I believe) 2 different coat types.

I have had a Jack Russell terrier for 16 years now. We got him from a breeder when we lived in England. He is of the original variety: short legs, docked tail, broken coat (mix of smooth and rough). I personally don't care for the Parson because that is not how the Rev. John Russell of England intended them to look when he bred them in the 1800s. They are intended for use on fox hunts and can easily fit into fox holes. I love my JRT!! They do like to chew (a lot) when they are young!!
