History:

is a white terrier bred in southern England in the 19th century to hunt European red foxes above and below ground. The terrier was bred and named after the Reverend John Russell, who drove foxes from their dens and tracked them down. In the early 19th century, an English church "hunting priest" named Jack Russell in Devon improved the product of the breed, so it was called the Jack Russell Terrier. Russell, who is keen on fox hunting, is not satisfied with the breed, and hopes to obtain a dog breed that is vigorous and can chase prey in the burrow, brave and alert. In addition to hunting down foxes, the Jack Russell Terrier can also repel mice.
