Originated from the UK

Although the Parson Russell Terrier was not recognized by the AKC until 2002, its origins can be traced back to the mid-18th century.

The name of the Parson Russell Terrier comes from the most famous hunter in Britain at the time, and also a famous local pastor, Parson Russell. Legend has it that he particularly likes to hunt with hounds and working terriers. Because of the short stature of the Russell Terrier, it is used to hunt European red foxes. In the countryside of Derwent, England, Russell Terriers track foxes with horses and hounds. When hounds chase foxes, the foxes flee back into underground caves, and Russell Terriers can then track them underground and drive the foxes out, allowing the hunt to continue.

Before April 1, 2003, Parson Russell Terrier had another name, Czech Russell Terrier. But after that, the name registered in the AKC in the United States was unified as Parson Russell Terrier. Why was there such a replacement? In fact, this is also the result of investigating multiple professional clubs. First, because the original breeding club of the breed was in the UK, and the official registered name in the UK was Parson Russell Terrier, such a change can make the name of this breed unified around the world, which is convenient for use. Secondly, it can also help distinguish other similar terriers. Because some people also call some short-legged terriers Czech Russell Terrier. As a prospective fan of "Dog Lovers", you need to learn about these professional knowledge first-hand.

Parson Russell Terriers are small in size and have well-developed motor nerves, making them suitable for energetic young people. Like other terriers, they are aggressive towards dogs of the same gender and like to chase small animals. If they know how to communicate with dogs, they are more suitable to play with teenagers. Because teenagers have the same high enthusiasm for sports as Russell Terriers. If your Russell Terrier is well-trained at six months old, then you already have a perfect dog. However, never expect their personalities to stabilize.
