Jack Russell History

The Jack Russell Terriers origins are all based on fox hunting in England. Reverend John Russell (born in 1795) bred one of the first terriers to be able to keep with foxes but also flush them out of their burrow. He used the now extinct English White Terrier and a female Fox Terrier named Trump to create a terrier with high stamina and the courage to chase out foxes. This Jack Russell was recognised as a distinct breed by the 1850s. The Fox Terrier club was formed in 1875 and John Russell was one of its founding members.
