Parson Russell Terrier is what you wanted to say here.
I must inform you though that i guess by (human)technicality, this is a jack Russell.
Parson Russell is the original breed's look. Jack Russells like in this vid, have the shorter legs and theoretically have been bred for better temperament.
It gets funny though because they can both come from the same litters these days as people have bred more for pets rather than hunting.
so while im correcting you..its only by technicality lol
not to be pedantic but for anyone else who reads this thread: its basically only about leg lengths just to be clear here. there's nothing else different physically. parsons were originally bred as hunting dogs. small enough to hole an animal but long enough legs to keep up with the hounds. so the name keeps this original breed 'standard' that was created.
-even though genetically they're basically the same breed and you can get parsons and jacks from the same litter.
jacks are bred specifically for shorter stubbier legs(i guess like dachshunds were?) and for better pet temperament.
p.s. cute dog!! -also notice how your dogs legs are longer than the jack's in this vid
Thanks. Not sure how you can compare a picture of my dog to a video of one wearing a jacket?(which would naturally make him look shorter). My dog standing from ground to belly is 12cm.
