PARSON RUSSELL TERRIER (JACK RUSSELL TERRIER) ORIGIN AND HISTORY This breed was developed in England in the mid 1800s by a clergyman, Reverend John Russell. Rev.

I have owned six Jack Russell terriers in the past twelve years and currently have four. I received my first as a toddler, and as an adult, I am now preparing to have my first litter of pups sometime this fall. This witty breed never fails to amuse or surprise. One of my dogs, named Susan, once brought me a live rabbit, sat it in my lap, and then proceeded to bring it back every time it ran away until I tied her. My purpose on this occasion is to educate you on these remarkable creatures. Originating
