I watched the Westminster dog show on TV & the announcer said "formerly known as the Jack Russell." Maybe it's called different names in different countries? I also see short-legged & long-legged dogs on breeder's websites & in magazines. Are both allowed in the breed standard? Can any of you doggie folks explain the difference? Thanks.

Many Jack Russell enthusiasts did not like the direction AKC was taking the breed, so the breed split. People who wanted to register their dogs with AKC, had to register them as Parson Russell Terriers.

The call of the AKC-regarded Jack Russel Terrier became into replaced to Parson Russel Terrier after some infighting between the yankee discern golf equipment for the breed. i do no longer bear in mind the substantial factors, besides the undeniable fact that it in touch politics and copyrights. besides...this is the gist.
