I was looking on the AKC website and I noticed that in the Foundation Stock there was a Russell Terrier. What is the difference between this and the JACK (or parson) Russell Terrier?

    These used to be the same breed. But, a few years ago, the "Jack Russell Terrier" club renamed their breed to the "Parson Russell Terrier" This actually caused a split in the club. Those that bred to the "new" standard, and those that bred to the "old" standard. The Parson Russell Terrier is now 12-15", while the Russell Terrior, or Americn Russell Terrier is 10-12".
