~Sixes River~ Parson Russell Terriers
Breeding the AKC breed Standard Parson (Jack) Russell Terriers. Our dogs range from 12.5"-13.75" all coat types.
Excellant temperament a must with our terriers.
The Parson Russell Terrier was formally known as the Jack Russell Terrier. The name of the Jack Russell Terrier was changed to the Parson Russell Terrier effective April 1, 2003 as requested by the Jack Russell Terrier Association of America, which was changed to the Parson Russell Terrier Association of America. The Breed was developed in 19th century England by a clergyman named Jack Russell.
This feisty little terrier was used to hunt small game, particularly fox, by digging to the quarry and baying or bolting it out of its den. Breeders have emphasized its working ability, so the standard is very broad, encompassing a wide range of accepted body types. On English hunts, the Parson Russell Terriers were supposed to be long-legged enough to keep up with the hounds. The energetic and playful Parson Russell makes a good family companion. Some of the Parson Russell's talents include: hunting, tracking, agility, and performing tricks.
Other Breed clubs have kept the "Jack" in the Russell Terrier
so it is confusing at best. And the short legged dogs are also called Jack Russell terriers, although UKC now has them registered as Russell Terriers. So there are long legged and short legged Jacks but only "long legged" Parsons and only short legged Russell's!
All dogs BAER tested and CERF tested yearly.
Health Guarantee and spay neuter contract for pet puppies.
