Jack Russell
What's the difference between Parson Jack Russell terriers, and Irish Jack Russell Terriers?
I'm getting a dog soon, and I think I'm going to choose a Jack Russell Terrier. I know there are two different types, so if you could give me some differences between them that would be great.
Hi there,
The Parson Russell Terrier is a recognized breed under the all-breed dog organizations such as the AKC. Basically, if you want a Jack Russell that's a show dog, you get a Parson. They have longer legs and are less functional for hunting. There's no difference in temperament. More information here: http://www.jack-russell-lover.com/parson-terrier.html
Irish Jacks are simply Jack Russells bred for their temperament, rather than appearance or working qualities. They're supposed to be Jack Russells that are more appropriate as family pets, apartment dogs, and so on. Just a calmer version of a typical Jack Russell.

Hope this answers your question,
