There eventually ought to be a separate article for each of the (fairly new) distinguishing varieties of these dogs. At the moment, however, the JRT article discusses all of them and their differences, so a redirect seems appropriate. Elf 17:05, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Which Came First? (The Parson or the Jack)

Does anyone know for certain whether the UK's recognition of the Parson Russell or the ANKC's recognition of the Jack that came first? All my books predate recognition. Quill 07:27, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Neither The Jack Russell Terrier Club of Great Britain was established in 1974. http://jackrussellgb.co.uk/club_info/history_aims.htm

The Jack Russell Terrier Club of America was established in 1976. http://www.terrier.com/jrtca/jrtca.php3

The AKC/UKC recognized the JRT in 1992.

I'd tend to look to the breed organizations for definitions, rather than to the all-breed registries. --jdege 18:14, 2004 Nov 30 (UTC)

[edit] Picture is ridiculous

If they are going through great enough pains to insist the Jack Russell Terrier and the PArson are distinct breeds, at LEAST use different pictures on their pages! Christ. Youaredj 02:21, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
