Overview:
The Parson Russell Terrier is a lively and intelligent breed, originating in the mid-19th century in England, specifically bred by Reverend John (Jack) Russell for fox hunting. These small yet sturdy dogs typically stand between 13-14 inches tall and weigh 13-17 pounds, characterized by their athletic build, V-shaped ears, and distinctive double coat, which can be smooth or broken. Their temperament is famously spirited, confident, and energetic, making them a joy for active individuals or families. While devoted and affectionate with their loved ones, their high prey drive and need for mental stimulation mean they thrive in environments where they receive ample exercise and training. They are generally not ideal for apartment living unless their owners are committed to daily vigorous outdoor activities. Health considerations for the breed include luxating patellas, eye disorders like lens luxation, and deafness, though reputable breeders screen for these conditions to ensure healthy offspring. Overall, the Parson Russell Terrier is a loyal and entertaining companion for those ready to embrace their vibrant personality.
