Parson Russell Terrier
Specifically bred for fox hunting in the south of England during the nineteenth century, The Parson Russell Terrier is an adaptable and determined hunter. These dogs are known for their tireless drive and fearlessness, and the ability to follow the hounds over long distances, go to ground, and hold the fox at bays. The breed is named after the most famous of British huntsmen, the Reverend John Russell, known as 'the sporting Parson'. The Parson Russell is widely accepted as being a cross of the extinct Old English White Terrier and a black and tan terrier similar to the early Manchester. Intelligent, determined, and athletic, the Parson Russell is also very affectionate and friendly. It loves to play, and is at its best when mentally and physically stimulated.
Appearance:
Built for speed and endurance, the Parson Russell Terrier is a well-balanced, medium-sized dog. Its harsh weatherproof coat, compact build, and small flexible chest are all signs of of initial role as a superior hunting dog.
Colour:
Predominantly white, but can be white with black or tan markings, or a combination of these colours. The colours should be clear.
