About Jack Russells
The Royal Kennel Club calls the Jack Russell Terrier a "modern descendent of the hardy terriers developed by the Rev John Russell". Its roots are in the working terriers of the British Isles, and The Royal Kennel Club says it is hoped the breed "will remain essentially a working Terrier both in type and temperament".
