The Jack Russell Terrier is a spunky terrier with short legs, a barrel-shaped chest and alert ears. The breed isn’t an officially recognized breed like its sister breeds the Russell Terrier and Parson Terrier but remains one of the most recognizable of the kind nonetheless. Their coats can be smooth, broken or wirehaired and they come in a variety of colors, usually white with patches. Intelligent and tireless, the Jack Russell Terrier is beloved for its lively and enthusiastic personality and has featured in many films and television shows.
