The Parson Russell Terrier was named for the Reverend John Russell, a 19th century parson with a passion for hunting who developed a well-known strain of Fox Terriers. By the end of the 19th century, the show Fox Terriers, had diverged so far from their ancestral type that Reverend Russell's old-style Fox Terriers were referred to as a separate breed-the Parson Russell Terrier. Because the proponents of this breed were so determined to maintain the breed's hunting capability, they opposed recognition by all-breed kennel clubs for many years, on the theory that such recognition would lead to degradation of the breed. The Parson Russell Terrier today is virtually unchanged from its origins, and breeders are striving to keep it that way. |
