Do you have Parson Russell Terriers over there? I have seen many JRTs here in Singapore and hardly any Parson Russell Terriers other than my own. Anyone care to share pictures of your Parson if you have any or where in Malaysia can one get this breed?
2 of our members hv Parsons....one of them haven't logged in for quite sometime...the other one with the Parson named Buttons is lurking around here somewhere

Hi Reality Dreamer,
Yes I do show them in our SKC Championship Dog Show. The white/tan one is called Sow's Ear Refund and the white/black one is called Ravenswood Crack of Dawn.
Is it true that most people prefer the JRTs to the Parson Russell Terriers? Seems like many people like short legs....
hmm..not sure if ppl here have a preference..i think the JRT's more common here because it's available here..not many ppl have parsons because it's more difficult to get
as for me i like parson's and the rough coated JRT's ,-._,-. \/)"(\/ (_o_)
IMHO, I think it is always good to see who are the puppy's parents, this will give you an idea of how the it will turn out when it grows up.
It is also important to get a JRT or Parson that meets the requirements in breed's standard. My experience is that the cute puppy may end up with various faults or illness that will surface only very later in the puppy's life. In addition, having a good temperament JRT or Parson is very important owing to their nature.
Agree with DS_1 , its not easy to have a show standard JRT or Parson, especially most of them ended up problem with ears and legs. Cant really see a puppy when they are too young, anything can happen during their growth.
YYY MouMou & WangWang & Byron & LiangLiang & Young & LuLu - Love 'em all YYY
do agree wit u but like chery said it's quite difficult 2 see wen they're still a puppy unless it's very obvious. as i'm not in2 showing my dogs, i'm just glad tat i can give them a loving home regardless of any short comings d puppies mite hv. v accept humans wit all their faults & i think v shud do d same 4 our beloved furkids. it's all bout good basic training & loads of love..... cheers
Here's something I found over the Internet ... Just thought I'd share it with you guys ...

Hi,
Do note that in FCI countries, the Parson Russell Terrier (used to be called Jack Russell Terrier in US) is a separate breed from the Jack Russell Terrier (the shorter legged, more patchy Asutralian imports).
In other words, PRT is PRT. JRT is still JRT. They are 2 different breeds.
However, under JRTCA (Jack Russell Terrier of America. www.terrier.com), PRT is still known as JRT. JRTCA is not afiliated with any kennel clubs and thus is not subjected to the name change.
