There is a different parent club for the jrt and they do not want akc recognition. The dogs are bred for working. Pam

So then, according to this, they are or at least were two separate breeds....that is what I had been told originally. But, I do know that only the PRT is listed in the AKC list...no JRT....so at least under AKC they are now considered one breed. This description is more in line with what was explained to me when we first got Micah....when I said no way he was a chi/jrt mix.......Thanks for the link :-) Marsha Do not tell God how big your storm is.

Here in the UK the PRT has only been accepted as a breed relatively recentlyIt originates with Parson Jack Russell who died in 1883 at the age of 88. Jack Russell was born on December 21, 1795 in Dartmouth ,a district already known for its working terriers. He inherited a love of hunting and started out with a small pack of hounds. With the co-operation of the local farmers, he set about making life more difficult for the local population of hares and foxes. The difference between the PRT and JRT can be found here http://www.jack-russell-terrier.co.uk/breed/parsons_and_jacks.html. The main difference is the length of the legs - the PRT is much taller in comparison. Coat can be rough or smooth----- Original Message ----- From: marsha To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 3:17 AMSubject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Thoughts about Designer dogs....Here is a link to some pics of the breed on AKC....still confused! lolMarshahttp://www.akc.org/breeds/parson_russell_terrier/photos.cfmDo not tell God how big your storm is.

We have a short legged jack russell. Too Dot is 11 years old and is very tolerant of the chi's climbing on her.
