Parson Russell Terriers are hard-working, hard-playing dogs, as are their slightly shorter-legged cousins, the Jack Russell Terrier. Be ready for an active, energetic, SMART dog when you welcome one of this clan into your life.
They get into more than their fair share of scrapes and scratches. Plus, many dog breeds have a bit of a tendency toward a dry nose. Plus, rough paw pads, bug bites, and itchy skin issues can be a big issue for all Parson Russell Terrier lovers.
