A little look at life together.
Getting to know the Parson Russell Terrier
The Parson Russell Terrier is an athletic working terrier developed to follow horses and flush quarry. Secure exercise space and engaging training are essential considerations for this energetic problem-solver.
An everyday routine
Make space for substantial daily activity and short learning sessions. A busy weekend cannot replace a dependable weekday routine.
Coat care to plan for
A relatively straightforward coat still needs routine checks, appropriate brushing, and attention to nails and teeth. Ask a groomer to demonstrate tools that suit this coat.
Before deciding, meet the individual dog and ask about their history, handling preferences, and current routine. Breed tendencies are a starting point, not a promise about personality.
