Jack Russell Terriers Breeders - Jack Russell Terriers are native to England. The country is famous for its hunting traditions and is the motherland of many hunting breeds. Most of them emerged as a result of breeder's boundless desire and strive to produce a perfect hunting companion and a wonderful pet. The Jack Russell Terrier is not an exception to the rule.
The Reverend John Russell, a great enthusiast and hunter, has realized his dream to breed a super fox terrier, capable of displaying a considerable extent of agility, intelligence, and endurance during hunting sessions. John Russell bred a terrier, a bitch named Trump, to be precise, and achieved enormous success.
Jack Russell Terriers Rescues - Jack Russell Terriers are robust muscular dogs of a medium size. In order to function as a working terrier, which he originally is, the Jack Russell should have the following characteristics: alert and assertive attitude, balance in height, weight and length, weatherproof coat, slightly arched muscular neck, a small chest to enable him to work underground, and strong legs. As the Jack Russell Terrier is first and foremost a hunting dog, the appearance standard is not very strict. Special attention is always paid to its temperament and working skills.

Jack Russell Terriers Puppies - Jack Russell Terriers are working dogs whose original function is hunting. Today the dog continues to be used in hunting sessions, as a vermin dog, and takes part in many canine sports, such as agility and obedience. However, the Jack Russell is now a popular pet dog, which causes great concern on the part of many breed fanciers.
The breed originated in England in the 19th century. Its name stems from its father, the Reverend (Parson) John Russell. This foxhunting lover regarded a Fox Terrier bitch named Trump one of the best hunting dogs. Trump was all white except some markings on the head. It allowed hunters to distinguish between the dog and the game in the field. Parson Russell created a new breed that received wide distribution in Europe.
Jack Russell Terriers Pictures - Jack Russell Terriers are one of the most highly valued dog breeds belonging to the working group. This breed possesses all the characteristics necessary for a successful hunter. The Jack Russell Terrier is alert and intelligent, courageous and confident.
The Jack Russell Terrier has a fairly long muscular body, enabling him to be used for foxhunting. The Jack Russell's coat may be of three types: rough, smooth or broken. The broken type is smooth on the body but with whiskers on the dog's face. The white color should be predominant in all coat types. Common coat colors are black and white, tan and white, and the combination of these three colors. Almond shaped eyes are small and dark. Small ears are V shaped, and carried against the head.
Jack Russell Terriers Dogs - Jack Russell Terriers originated in Great Britain more than a hundred years ago. They were bred by the Reverend Russell, a great foxhunting enthusiast and dog lover. The breed has retained its working qualities over time and is now used in tracking, hunting, and other activities.
Nowadays, the Jack Russell Terrier is well distributed in Great Britain and France. It is also gaining popularity in the United States, which can be attributed to the great success of movies that the breed was filmed in. The Jack Russell Terrier is considered second to none in hunting the badger and the fox. The dog often works with hounds tracking the prey. Its main task, though, is cornering the fox in its den and making it accessible to hunters.
