PARSON JACK RUSSELL TERRIER.
Maxeen Hobson HISTORY
John "Jack" Russell, dog breed developer and namesake of this and other white terriers.
This breed shares a common history with the Jack Russell Terrier until the early 1980s.
This type of small white terrier dates back to the work of the Reverend John Russell, born in 1795. In 1819 he purchased a small white and tan female terrier named Trump from a milkman in the hamlet of Elmsford. She formed the basis for his breeding program, and by the 1850s the dogs were recognised as a distinct type of Fox Terrier.

Both types have a double coat with a coarse texture. The broken coat is slightly longer with just a hint of eyebrows and a beard. Some Jacks have what 's called a rough coat, which is longer than a broken coat. Whatever its type, the coat is never curly or wavy.
Trim nails once or twice a month. If you can hear them clicking on the floor, they 're too long. Short, neatly trimmed nails keep the feet in good condition and protect your shins from getting scratched when your Jack enthusiastically jumps up to greet you.
The only other grooming care he needs is dental hygiene. Brush his teeth at least two or three times a week to prevent tartar build-up and periodontal disease, daily for best results.
The Parson is a feisty and energetic type of Terrier. They can excel in dog sports such as fly-ball or agility and require vigorous exercise in order to prevent them from becoming bored and potentially destructive in the home. They can be suited to live with children but as they have a typical Terrier temperament, they will not tolerate rough handling the AKC describes them as being single minded, tenacious and courageous when at work, while at home they can be exuberant, playful and affectionate. However, it is unusual for dogs of this breed to be involved in work, such as fox hunting, typical of a small white terrier, as they are more adapted to the show
The New York Times wrote an article called “A Breed That Came up the Hard Way” were it stated that because of their unparalleled love and devotion for children they were commonly known as “The Nanny Dog” throughout the late 19th and early centuries. (Fletcher,W 1971). Meanwhile advocates for this breed claim this specific breed is the most abused, tortured and abandoned breed in the U.S. They’re often difficult to adopt out due to their stigma caused by the media. The ASPCA revealed that there is no evidence that shows how breed-specific laws make communities safer for people or companion animals, these laws are costly and extremely difficult to enforce.

“Pit bull” is not a breed. It is a broad term often used to describe dogs with similar characteristics and traits. Because of irresponsible owners and the media, many people are misinformed about pit bulls. Not everything said about pit bulls is true so it is important to know the facts instead of making assumptions.
They were bred to make a very athletic dog that was also very intelligent. Although they do not have the strongest bite force of domesticated dogs, they also do not have the price tag like the german shepherd or rottweiler. Many breeders like to breed animals for money and do not care who the animals are raised by; this usually causes dogs to end up in the wrong hands.

Owning a dog is very similar to having a child; you have to teach them the rules early on for them to behave properly. People who want to be pet owners must be able to take the time and energy to devote themselves to that animal, no matter the breed or
A wonderful companion and ruthless hunter, the strong Chesapeake Bay Retriever is an American breed with a fascinating history. Thanks to their sturdy stature and thick coats, these dogs can tolerate harsh climates and are always willing to get outdoors and work all day long. Having grown up around water, this breed loves to swim and spend lots of time outdoors, making it perfectly suited for active owners who get plenty of exercise. If you aren’t prepared to get outside for long walks and runs on a daily basis, this might not be the dog for you. If, however, you are capable of fulfilling the Chesapeake Bay Retriever’s exercise requirements, it can be an excellent family companion or hunting partner.
Pet stores often use this licensing to provide a false sense of security to customers, when what it really means is that they do, in fact, get their puppies from puppy mills. “Responsible breeders would never sell to someone they haven't met because they want to screen potential buyers to ensure the puppies are going to good homes.” If you’re looking to buy a purebred dog then I recommend looking in a local shelter first. There are alot of shelter dogs who are purebred. Then, if you don’t find what you’re looking for, do your research and find a trusted breeder that allows you to meet them in person, and the dog.

A “Pit Bull's behavior is based on the way their owners raise them not just their breed. “Pit Bull” is actually a generic term applied to various breeds including the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Blue Blood Bulldog, Dogo Argentino and Hundreds of mixed breeds of similar appearance.
