2 Parson Russell Terrier Puppies for sale in Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire Council

The Parson Terrier, also known as Parson Jack Russell Terrier, JRT, is native to the UK, where it was originally bred to work alongside Foxhounds, although these charming dogs are now more commonly kept as companions and family dogs thanks to their friendly and loyal nature. They can have rough or smooth coats and are known for being alert, lively terriers who are never happier than when they are outside chasing a new scent. Therefore, Parson Terriers is not the best choice for people who live in apartments or lead a more sedentary life, but is a very good choice for anyone who lives in a rural setting with large, secure gardens where their dogs can run around whenever they can.

FAQs

What is the difference between a Jack Russell and a Parson Russell Terrier?

The difference between a Jack Russell and a Parson Russell Terrier lies mainly in naming and physical standards. The Parson Russell Terrier is the official breed standard name and generally has slightly longer legs and a more rectangular body compared to the Jack Russell, which tends to have shorter legs.

What are the disadvantages of owning a Parson Russell Terrier?

Parson Russell Terriers require a lot of exercise and mental stimulation, making them unsuitable for inactive owners. They tend to bark excessively if not properly trained, have strong digging and jumping instincts that challenge containment, are not safe around small pets due to hunting instincts, shed moderately year-round, can suffer separation anxiety, and have specific health issues like patellar luxation, deafness, joint problems, and eye disorders.

Are Parson Russell Terriers good family dogs?

Yes, Parson Russell Terriers can be excellent family dogs in active households that meet their exercise and mental stimulation needs. They have a friendly and protective temperament but require proper training and socialization to manage their energy and vocal nature.

Do Parson Russell Terriers bark a lot?

Yes, Parson Russell Terriers are known to bark frequently, especially to alert their owners to strangers or other stimuli. They typically bark less than Jack Russells but still need socialization and training to keep barking under control.
