They are separate breeds. The Royal Kennel Club recognised the Parson Russell Terrier in 1990 and changed its name in 1999 to tell it apart from the Jack Russell, which it recognised in 2016. UK Jack Russell breeders kept a type similar to the Parson Russell in proportion, but in a smaller frame.

The Royal Kennel Club says up to an hour a day, while PDSA and Battersea both say at least an hour, plus play and training. Battersea says owners often underestimate how much exercise these small dogs need. Ask the rescue about this dog, as age and health make a difference.

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 4 of the 7 Jack Russells listed in and around Maidstone as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
