deepseasnake Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 what were Jack Russels bred for? I heard it's sole purpose was to kill rats, hard for me to believe, is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bensam Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I'll start this by reminding you I am from Australia, where we have two types, the Jack Russell and the Parsons Jack Russell. On my friend's Web site it says the Jacks were bred to bolt foxes (as are the Border Terriers) and the Parsons to follow horses. The site is --www4.tpgi.com.au/users/rgh/ I am only repeating what is on the site and what I was told by the breeders. There are often varying opinions on the origins of lots of breeds so others may come up with something else. (I dont want to get into any discussions with a certain 'guest' :roll: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepseasnake Posted September 6, 2002 Author Share Posted September 6, 2002 that sounds a little more realalistic than "rat hunter" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
