From Wikipedia The Jack Russell Terrier is a type of small,
principally white-bodied, smooth or rough-coated terrier that has its
origins in fox hunting. The name "Jack Russell" has been used to
describe a wide array of small white terriers, but is now most commonly
used to describe a working terrier.
The Jack Russell Terrier is not the same as a Parson Russell
Terrier, which is a breed recently created by narrowing the Jack Russell
standard. The Parson Russell Terrier is primarily a show dog, and is
rarely found in the hunt field.
The Jack Russell Terrier is also not the same thing as an
Australian Jack Russell Terrier or Russell Terrier, which are dogs first
brought into the Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) in 2000 and
the United Kennel Club in 2001, and which are maintained under a
different breed standard and described as having been developed in
Australia out of dogs originating in England.
