A nice old fashioned "ankle biter" type Russell that was probably the most popular of pet breeds at one time in the UK. The enemy of postmen, binmen, paper boys and milkmen. Had great fun hunting all sorts with them growing up. Mostly borrowed from neighbours. People didn't mind back then as long as you washed them before bringing them back and  hadn't hit on anything too smelly.

Russell x cocker? Just shows what I know, bugger all 🙂 . Back in the day those Jack Russells on estates were probably a bit of this and a bit of that, especially considering that parents went to work, kids went to school and people's dogs were just let out to form packs and roam the streets until someone returned. Madness to think about now, but happy days at the time. Unless you were a postman.

Probably a good thing, only the toughest and smartest survived, with a big gene pool they were healthy as. I'd bet these mongrel terriers were a lot more useful than todays show bred Russells.
