Parson Russell Terrier

The Parson Russell Terrier is a small and active terrier breed from the United Kingdom. In the 1800s, an avid sportsman, Reverend John Russell, bred mostly white-coated working terriers to assist when hunting. The descendants of these fox-hunting dogs are the Jack Russell Terrier, Russell Terrier, and Parson Russell Terrier. A compact little breed, Parson Russell Terriers stand only 12 to 15 inches…
