The original name of this breed is Jack Russell Terrier. Jack Russell trained and developed white terriers in the 19th century, mainly for hunting on the ground and underground for the European red fox. As a result of the selection of J. Russell, the basis for the development of this type of terrier was created – hence the name of the breed. They are very nimble, alert, and self-confident dogs. They have a two-tone coat color. The chest is small and soft, which allows him to both tracks down prey on the ground and get it out of the ground.
The height of both males and females is 12-14 inches. The ideal height at the withers for females is 13 inches and for males 14. Sometimes, depending on the living conditions and the tasks performed, the growth of dogs may be abnormal, which is not considered a defect in the breed. An adult dog weighs 13-17 pounds. Proportional balance is a model of terrier anatomy. When determining cleanliness, the proportional ratios of the muzzle and head, head and body, height at the withers, and length of the body are measured. With a body length of 14 inches, the height will be 1 ~ 1.5 inches more. The bone base is of medium weight, the bones are not too heavy to impair the dog’s agility, and not too light to reduce the strength of the dog. A height at the withers below 12 inches or above 15 inches is considered a defect and will lead to disqualification of the dog.
