The Russell Terrier is a small, agile, brave, principally white-bodied terrier that is known for fox hunting and other small animals.

Short-legged Jack Russells are often called "Shorties" and are recognized with the AKC-FSS as the Russell Terrier or Jack Russell Terriers. Meanwhile, the long-legged variation is called the Parson Jack Russell Terrier. They are both small dogs and can be a variety of wiry, smooth, and multicolored coats. They are predominantly white, with patches of brown and black, often covering part of the face. They are sturdy and muscular, well adapted to work hard. Russell Terriers often work so hard and are unafraid that a farmer gauged his terriers on his farm to live only about 6 years. Otherwise, living in a normal household, the Russell Terrier can live as long as 16 years. At work the Russell Terriers are a game hunter, tenacious and courageous. At home they are playful, exuberant and overwhelmingly affectionate. The Russell Terrier is an independent and energetic terrier and requires their due portion of attention. They are highly energetic, interactive and love to play with children. The Russell Terrier is the ideal breed for a fun-loving family seeking a hard working little dog.
