The
IrishJack Difference
The temperament of our Jack Russell Terriers and their great trainability make them very suited to home living, with children of all ages and other dogs and cats.
Our Jack Russell Terrier is a different breed than the Parson Jack Russell Terrier who are primarily bred to be hunting dogs.

About the IrishJack
The Irish Jack Russells that we offer are the 'short-legged' type of the breed, often called 'little pudding dogs', 'potbellies', 'shorties' and 'puddins'. They are not to be confused with the 'Parson' Russell Terrier, which is the terrier recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC).
Eddie, from the TV show Frazier and Wishbone are Parson Russell Terriers: taller, longer legs, bred mostly to be hunting dogs. All of our Irish Jacks are bred to be companion pets only.

The IrishJack difference
The Parson Jack Russell is a true working terrier, still effectively bred and worked as a hunting dog. And, what a fine hunting dog they make! However; these larger Parson Jacks are not always the best pets and, perhaps more importantly, are not often the pet dog for the 'average' household. Be sure to read our testimonials for real-life tales and stories of our shortie IrishJacks. Our dogs, the shortie Jack Russells, are bred and selected exclusively for pet purposes.
Their temperaments are perfectly suited to home living, to being around children of all ages and to being with other pets. See a detailed list of temperaments.
We look for the following attributes and traits:
- superior temperaments
- sweet dispositions
- intelligence & trainability
- overall good health and body structure
- smaller size
- color and markings
- friendliness and loyalty
Because our pups are not bred for their hunting abilities, they make better pets. They are really great with other house pets, and with children of all ages — see picture gallery. The average Parson Russell Terrier's instinct and desire to hunt is greater than its desire to please. We strive for the opposite.
