You can get kc russels too now.

American kc changed the name to parson terrier after putting the smaller jack russel to a bigger terrier over in the states nipper. Jackie's are smaller but longer in the body then the parson has abit more about it in leg an body frame. To me you still can't beat the old type russel. My bitch I had was farm bred from generations from the chap who owns the farm today from his father's dogs and grandfathers dogs before him.

A parson would be about 12" + too I think someone needs a new tape measure

The number 1, when it gets to 15 and 16 has been rubbed off his tape measure.

Boys a clampit , some of the things he comes off with .. I can actually believe the 1 is missing on his tape measure

Parsons are a leggy type, bred to follow hounds and generally smooth/slape coated(white bodies, coloured mask and patch of colour by the tail)...the  rough/wire types are Russell/lakey ... anything under 9" a gypsy bred queen anne legged cull

We had  Fox warren dogs in the 90's ,they were white bodies with a tri colour or brindle head mask and same colour spots around the tail/arse end from memory

Lol.  To be fair, I enjoy some of his posts on the native finch threads, and he has some lovely goldfinches.  But to claim he had a Jack Russell the same size as one of his goldfinches does seem a tad incredulous.

You being more knowledgeable than me about terriers, D c, would that brindle colouring possibly have come from bull terrier blood, or patterdales that had bull terrier blood in them?

Do you know that little back road, behind Robert price timber yard, D c, just below castell coch?

Going back about 45 years ago, my old man's mate, who lived in that little road, owned the father to my only terrier I owned from a pup, and he had brindle markings, and was probably the best physical specimen that I've personally seen of any terrier.

He was apparently well worked to ground, and was marked up, accordingly.

Bear in mind, I was 14, and my old man had no interest in working dogs!!  Lol

Cheers for comment on goldfinches mate much appreciated. The little bitch that I had was around 5 inch to shoulder and her son was around 6 inch to shoulder. Well put together russels farm bred like a said generation bred on a farm in Barnsley area. That little bitch and her siblings all had that russel trait with the skip on back legs. Great little bitch she was like a said could run the warrens. Many times all I heard when out bushing with her was the sound of her yapping under ground marking up the Warren. As for child he's just one of these that brings up old shite boring hasn't owt decent to say. Sounds like a jealous person. Only one on most of my threads that comes out with bad fibes. But it doesn't bother me just puts a smile on my face. But like a said cheers for comments on the bird threads had a good season this year's bred 50 timbrado canaries most of them went which im glad needed the space. And I've bred 27 goldfinches but may lose a few through moult.
