Did you know:
In 1995 the English Jack Russell Terrier Club (JoAnn Stoll President) created a registry with its board members, for the "Puddin", now on saying this one has to remember we are talking about dogs that have their HISTORY linked to the ancestry of the "Puddin"! UKC breed standard history section 2001 2005 2009
These wonderful dogs with outstanding temperaments and good confirmation came from the following breeders:
Hi-Hills, Westerly, Star Valley, Farr West, Tall Tree's, Elk Creek, Pecon Grove, to name just a few.
The registry in 1995: Most of the registry consisted of "Puddin" ancestry. The English Jack Russell Terrier, was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 2001 and called the breed, "Russell Terrier" The United Kennel Club took our registry in its entirety, with an arrangement that we would form a UKC club in return all the dogs registered at that time would have the letters FS, before their name, on their pedigree, Only the original dogs registered have this pre fix with UKC. The original letter from the UKC to JoAnn Stoll and board members states The UKC has recognized the dog you call English Jack Russell Terrier as the Russell Terrier.
The Russell Terrier Foundation Club was formed in 2003. After this date other clubs where also formed which included the following:
(Now) National Russell Terrier Foundation Club (Parent club for ARBA.)
American Russell Terrier Foundation Club a single dog registry for FSS AKC “Russell Terrier”
American Russell Terrier Club (AKC parent club for FSS AKC "Russell Terrier")
ALL the above clubs have registered "Puddin" bloodlines, in their registries and archives.
Some breeders chose to cross breed the "Puddin" on what's now known as the "Parson Russell Terrier" (FCI recognized this breed on 4-6-2001) However some did not and continued to breed the original dog, as it was first registered in the English Jack Russell Club registry in 1995 and United Kennel Club 2001.
Throughout the history of the breed, the smooth coat and rough coated dog has been bred together.
So we have the "Puddin" and the "Parson Russell Terrier" bred together, which is evident in the pedigree's and also in the looks of the "Russell Terrier" some look like the "Puddin" and some look like "Parson Russell Terriers" some have rough coats some have smooth coats, some have long legs some have short legs.
UKC and AKC will no longer register litters from cross bred dogs, they now register them by blood, UKC and AKC require a 3 generation pedigree so as the" Russell Terrier" moves forward the "Parson Russell Terrier" bloodline will no longer be visible on a 3 generation pedigree for the "Russell Terrier". AKC already has the breed "Parson Russell Terrier" as a pure breed, this being said the "Russell Terrier will have come full circle and be a breed of its own, on paper !! Just like the "Puddin" that has no" Parson Russell Terrier “cross breeding.
It is believed the Smooth and Rough coated "Russell Terrier" is from 2 different ancestors, whatever happens in the future the "Russell Terrier" will be forever linked to the "Puddin" ancestry and the "Parson Russell Terrier"
The "Puddin" ancestry pre dates the "Parson Russell Terrier".
The original foundation stock registered with all the above registries can be seen on www.ukcrussellterrier.com some are still living some have passed and the foundation stock today as the breed moves forward in FSS AKC can be found on.
The United Kennel Club now calls the "Russell Terrier" "Jack Russell" as of 2009, the original breed history remains.
The United Kennel Club changed the breed standard in 2009; the Russell Terrier Foundation Club (A licensed UKC club) was not informed of the changes.
UKC created its own breed standard ( which includes the triangle head) which was in our opinion, (the Russell Terrier Foundation Club members,) to appease, both the breeders of none, cross bred dogs and the cross bred dogs, it is evident this did not work
.
The "Jack Russell" was recognized by FCI 1-1-2003.
