Parson Russell Terrier

(copyright AKC)

General Appearance - workmanlike, active and agile; built for speed and endurance.  Scars and injuries resulting from work or accident are acceptable unless working ability is impaired.

Characteristics - essentially a working terrier with ability and conformation to go to ground and and run with hounds.

Temperament - bold and friendly.

Head & Skull - flat, moderately brood, gradually narrowing to the eyes.  Shallow stop. Length from nose to stop slightly shorter than from stop to occiput.  Nose black.

Eyes - almond shaped, fairly deep-set, dark, keen expression.

Ears - small v-shaped, dropping forward, carried close to head and fold not to appear above top of skull.

Mouth - jaws strong, muscular.  Teeth with a perfect, regular and complete scissor bite, i.e. upper teeth closely overlapping the lower teeth and set close to the jaws.

Neck - clean, muscular, of good length, gradually widening to shoulders.

Forequarters - shoulders long and sloping, well laid back, cleanly cut at withers.  Legs strong, must be straight with joints turning neither in or out.  Elbows close to body, working free of the sides.

Body - chest of moderate depth, capable of being spanned behind the shoulders by average sized hands.  Back strong and straight.  The loin slightly arched.  Well balanced, length of back from withers to root of tail to be equal to height from withers to ground.

Hindquarters - strong, muscular with good angulation and bend of stifle.  Hocks short and parallel giving plenty of drive.

Feet - compact with firm pads, turning neither in nor out.

Tail - strong, straight, set high.  Customarily docked with length complimenting the body while providing a good handhold. 

Gait/Movement - free, lively, well coordinated; straight action front and behind.

Coat - naturally harsh, close and dense, whether rough or smooth.  Belly and undersides coated.  Skin must be thick and loose.

Colour - entirely white or with tan, lemon or black markings, preferably confined to the head and/or root of tail.

Size - Height ideally 35-36cms (14in) at withers for dogs and 33cms (13in) for bitches, but none should deviate more than 1in from these heights.

Faults - any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree.

Note - male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum.

 

All of our breeding dogs are BAER normal and CERF clear.

(BAER refers to the  Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response test for normal hearing)

(CERF refers to the Canine Eye Registration Foundation test for vision clear of defects)
