Less common than the Jack Russell, this is the Reverend John Russell’s other legacy to breed registries: a longer-legged terrier, able to keep up with horses on a hunt but still compact enough to dig after foxes. Originally classified with the Jack Russell, it has the same ebullience and energy as its near-namesake, and also comes in wireand smooth-haired coats. The wire-haired type was preferred by the breed’s originator, but both types are equally popular today.
