The Parson is a relatively small active and lively mainly white
coloured terrier. As they were originally used with foxhounds to go to ground after foxes they are built accordingly.
They have long legs, which were ideal for keeping up with the horses; but their body is shaped to allow them to be able to
get into small spaces. The Parson is an intelligent little dog but can be a bit stubborn like most terriers. Training is relatively
easy but owners must be consistent and firm. They do have a tendency to turn a deaf ear when on the scent of something and
so must be trained to return to you on command. They can be quite dominant over other dogs, particularly other terriers, so
should be properly socialised and trained as puppies. The Parson Jack Russell Terrier should have a flat, moderately broad
skull. The eyes should be deep set, almond shaped and dark in colour. The ears should be small, v-shaped, folding forward
close to the head. The tips of the ears should reach the corner of the eye. The mouth should have a complete scissor bite
with strong and muscular jaws. The neck should be relatively long and muscular. The chest should be fairly deep, not below
the point of the elbow. The back should be straight and strong. The length of the dog should be slightly longer than the height
to the withers. The front legs should be straight and strong; the back legs should be strong, muscular and show good angulation.
The feet should be compact. The tail is relatively high set and carried high. If docked the tail should be strong, straight
and the length should complement the overall conformation of the body. If undocked it should be as straight as possible, thick
at the base and tapering to a point. The coat is naturally harsh, close and thick in both the rough and smooth coated Parsons.
They are white or mainly white in colour with tan, lemon or black markings. These markings are preferred
on the head or base of the tail In general the Parson is a friendly, devoted and affectionate dog with lots of personality.
They get on well with children and make good pets for the active family. They have to be socialised from an early age especially
with cats and any other household pets
