There are two strains of the same breed, which are prevalent in Great Britain. The Parson Russell Terrier, which is officially recognized by the UK Kennel Club, is, largely speaking, a show dog and pet, although many are working dogs. The other strain, which is more numerous, is simply the Jack Russell Terrier, a working Terrier and also a pet, as recognized and supported by the Jack Russell Terrier Club of Great Britain. Both have their roots in the same stock, that of the Reverend John (Jack) Russell (1795–1883), who, from 1815 until his death, developed his own strain of hunt terriers which suited his style of hunting and the terrain over which he hunted.
