Nolly 40 Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 G'day from Australia. Curious to know if many Parson types are being worked these days? Not many true Parson Terriers down here now, a lot of Patterdales, Jagd Terriers and Jack / Fox Terrier crosses. Cheers Quote Link to post

eastcoast 3,707 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 It's a complicated question Nolly. Do you mean the KC registered dogs or the type? The "type" has been worked for at least 2 hundred years and still is to this day. The "type" was one of the 1st to be registered by the KC in the 19th century as a Fox Terrier. The KC Fox Terrier is not a breed that is worked in the UK. The "type" was registered again by the KC in late 20th century. The KC Parson Russell is not generally regarded as a working terrier 30 odd years after its recognition but the price of pups has vastly improved. £700 to £1000 being the sort of price for pet but not show quality stuff. The unregistered Parson "type" still exists and some people still work them. They are priceless. 5 Quote Link to post
