History

The Jack Russel Terrier comes like most terrier breeds from England. It was first bred there more than 150 years by theologian John Russel. The future pastor had the nickname "Jack.", for which the dog breed was also named later. John Russel pursued the goal of creating a fox hunting terrier by crossing with other breeds. This should not only hunt foxes and other animals, but also chase them into their burrow and drive them out again.

Over the years, two types of Russel Terrier, a medium-sized variant, the Parson Russel Terrier, and another one of smaller size, the Jack Russel Terrier described here. The small-sized variant found its followers mainly in Australia, who used it mostly for hunting in rabbit holes. Due to crossbreeding with other breeds and exclusive breeding for hunting purposes, recognition as an independent race came relatively late.

So the dog was first listed by the Australian National Kennel Council in 1991 and in the year 2000 was recognized by the FCI.

Physical characteristics

The appearance of the Jack Russel Terrier it is relatively easy to recognize. So he has a coat covered mostly in white, that bears black or brown markings. A completely white coat is also theoretically possible, but quite rare. The hairs are short and can be straight or coarse.

The Jack Russel Terrier it has an almost rectangular body shape and a height at the withers of up to 30 cm.. So, is on average 5 cm smaller than its direct relative, the Parson Russel Terrier. The weight of a Jack Russel Terrier can vary between 7 and 10 kg. The head of the Jack Russel it is quite thin and flat built. The dog's eyes are almond shaped and are normally surrounded by black eyelid edges.

History

Where did the "Irish Terrier" originally come from??

The "Irish Terrier", he is a high-ranking terrier. It is often called the "Red Irishman" for its distinctive reddish coat.. Its roots are, as in all terriers, a little on the ground. The name Terrier is derived from the Latin «Terra» for the earth. So they were dogs for movement on land and underground.

High-ranking terriers were supposed to run with the pack on fox hunts. When a fox took refuge in its burrow, the terriers had to chase him underground and get him out of the burrow, as it is called in the language of the hunters. One can imagine that the fox, after all a well fortified predator, does not voluntarily abandon its burrow. so a Irish Terrier I had to be very brave, fearless and defensive. Even today the "Red Irish" are hunting dogs in their hearts. They are not afraid and with every fiber they strive to do their job as well as possible. We can still experience all these qualities in the Irish Terrier as a companion dog.

They have a special charm but also the challenge of their ancestors.. But red Irish was also used in many different ways at home and on the farm.. He had to keep the yard free of mice and rats., protect chickens, pigeons and rabbits for the night of the martens and foxes. Finally, had to watch the farm and its inhabitants and, if necessary, protect them.

Ludwig Beckmann reported in 1895, in his two-volume work on the "Breeds of the Dog", that already in 1847 in Ireland they had begun to breed an independent terrier, the ancestor of the current Irish Terrier. At least that's what the Irish claimed, while the English for a long time dismissed this dog as a variety.

Until 1880 the color of the Irish Terrier was, in fact, still quite uneven. Only little by little did Irish breeders mark their dog with the red coat color as something special. But then it became very popular, even in England and especially in the US, where many Irish had emigrated. The first special breed club for Irish Terriers was founded very soon, the 31 in March of 1879 in Dublin. It was then the first race of Irish Terrier in being officially recognized by the British Kennel Club with Ireland as country of origin.

The Irish Terrier should not appear clumsy or amorphous; the contour of his body and figure must demonstrate speed, grace and fleetingness.

Their coat should be thick and lean in texture. Must be, according to technical jargon, broken or broken, that is to say, it should look tough and tough and, However, be extended. The head is also hairy, giving the impression of a beard. The "red Irish" must be uniformly red, wheat-red or yellow-red. Apart from color, the Irish Terrier reminds a bit of a small and elegant Airedale Terrier, which is also quite similar to him in character.

There he does a good job as a yard dog, guard and hunting. In today's hunting it is mainly used for post-shot work.. The official standard describes its character very accurately:

The Irish Terrier, although determined and able to face other dogs, is remarkably loyal, kind and affectionate with people; However, when he is attacked, show the courage of a lion and fight to the bitter end. It is wrongly said that the Irish Terrier he gets into fights with other dogs easily, sometimes even in the exhibition ring. Although it does not avoid any dispute when circumstances require it, the Irish Terrier it is easy to train and it is a sociable domestic dog; still embodies the qualities that, according to previous descriptions, They had made him the "guardian of the poor", "Friend of farmers and beloved of distinguished gentlemen.".

He is a faithful companion, vigilant, warm and loving for young and old, as long as one allows oneself and him the movement. It has a big character, self-confident and never submissive, that one should respect and appreciate. In his book about the Irishman "Jerry the Islander", the great writer Jack London expresses his respect for this great character in the following words: «Jerry, you are gold, pure gold, inside and outside, and no dog in the whole world can compete with you. You have a heart of gold, golden dog; be good to me and love me, and I will be good to you and I will love you now and always.".

History

The Norfolk Terrier he is a very small terrier, low rise. Until 1964 formed a dog breed along with the Norwich Terrier. Both differ only in the shape of their ears. While the Norfolk Terrier has slanted ears, the Norwich Terrier has standing ears. In the past these dogs were raised together and it was always a surprise that puppies had ears. Because the judges at the shows at least felt they preferred lop-eared dogs, wanted to have floppy or tilted ears in a class of their own. But, either standing or with ears hanging, they are wonderful terriers, vivacious little ones you can enjoy. They come from the Middle East of England. There these little terriers served the town for many years as watchdogs and hunters at home and at court..

Keeping rats and mice, driving away a marten or fox that wanted to feed on chickens or pigeons at night, they proved to be useful helpers at home and in court. But, the small Norfolk Terrier was not, like many other somewhat larger terriers, used for active fox hunting, the marten and the otter. Didn't have to go in pursuit of these predators. He would not have lacked courage and determination. The Terriers de Norwich and Norfolk they were useful as a cat, but much more defensive and effective, especially when it came to fighting rats. They also had the added value of being watchdogs and danger alarms and were better able to deal with harsh, wet and cold weather conditions of central England.

So these little terriers were already widespread in cities centuries ago.. Consequently, they were bred solely for their suitability for their tasks. Either with upturned or drooping ears, it did not matter. As their tasks drifted away from rats to accompany the human psyche, the subtleties of his outward appearance also came into play. One separated the terrier into two breeds. In 1954, both were officially recognized by the FCI under the name of Norwich Terrier. The tipped-ear variant was recognized as a separate breed in 1962.

Its movement is natural, low and high thrust. Previous members directed straight forward from the shoulders. A good angulation of the hindlimbs provides you with a great driving force.

The Member posterior move in line with the anterior, with free movements from the hips, and they must bend well at the knees and hocks. level top line.

The hair It hard, rough texture (wire), straight and well attached to the body. Long and rough in the neck and shoulders.
