Parson Russell Terrier

The Parson Russell Terrier was developed in 19th-century England by Reverend John Russell, who bred a strain of working fox terriers capable of keeping pace with horses and bolting foxes from their dens. Compact, athletic, and fearlessly bold, the breed possesses a lively, inquisitive character that makes it both an entertaining companion and a capable working dog. Its predominantly white coat, keen expression, and flexible, narrow chest are hallmarks of the breed's purpose-built design for earth work.
