Research the breed thoroughly before you commit to a purchase. The Internet is a good source of information, as are the canine weekly newspapers. For useful addresses, contact numbers and websites of people who will help you find a type of puppy, turn to page 126.

For Parson Russell Terriers, the Kennel Club will be your best source of information, followed by the breed clubs. To find breeders of the genuine working type of Jack Russell, contact the secretary of the regional section of the Jack Russell Club of GB. It would be a good idea to go to one of their shows where you can meet the breeders. Other good sources are places where dog owners congregate, such as training clubs. Veterinary surgeons can often help, too, as they will invariably know the local breeders. There are also Jack Russells for rehoming in rescue centres, the best of which try to match the dogs with potential owners. Charities such as Dogs Trust and Battersea Dogs Home do their best to assess a dog’s temperament and match him to a new home.
