This Is A Question Re Jack Russell And Parson Russell Terriers

[grandpajoe]

We know that the Reverend John Russell bread these dogs in the mid 19th Century but what I would like to know is which came first "Parson" or Jack" ??

I have my own idea but would like to hear yours and your reasoning, please.

Cheers Chris

I don't know the answer to your questions but my posting this will move it back into the latest posts.

Reverend John Russell bread these dogs - as you have used the word bread I was reminded of this picture of an inbred dog.

It is well documented. This is a link to the 'history' page of the Parson Russell Terrier Club website: http://www.parsonrussellterrierclub.co.uk/HistoryPRT.html
