'It must be said that the type developed in Australia has some differences from the type maintained by the Jack Russell breeders in the UK, who have retained the original type: a dog similar to the Parson Russell Terrier in proportion, but in a smaller frame.' 'Since being bred in Australia in the 70s, Jack Russell Terriers became popular family pets across the world, and are now one of the most popular dog breeds to star in films! 'Jack Russell Terriers have origins in the working terriers from Britain but were actually developed in Australia by British immigrants who brought dogs along to help control vermin population in their new homes,' Bill tells us. Bill adds: 'Their lively temperament and endless energy means they are better suited to active owners that will have enough time to exercise them and give them enough mental stimulation too.' Something to remember, however, is that the pups are incredibly active.
Small, friendly dogs, Jack Russell Terriers make good family pets - and are also suitable for city-dwellers who live in apartments.
