In the 1800s, the Jack Russell terrier was bred by none other than Jack Russell himself. An avid fox hunter and Oxford divinity student, Russell was introduced to a terrier named Trump (no relation) and fell in love with the terrier’s quick and cunning capabilities. Soon enough, Russell developed a strain of fox terriers with distinctive white and brown markings, along with a narrow body ideal for fearlessly going into fox dens.

It didn’t take long for the world to take notice. Though there was controversy with the American Kennel Club not officially recognizing the Jack Russell terrier breed, The Jack Russell Terrier Club of America created strict rules and regulations regarding this breed. Later, the AKC acknowledged the Parson Russell Terrier, which is a very close cousin of the Jack Russell.
