What is the difference between an Irish Jack Russell and a Jack Russell Terrier.
The Jack Russells were developed from a Fox Terrier by a Minister of Religion in England. Did he have an Irish (Northern Ireland) background?
In truth, Jack Russells can be the craziest of dogs (clowns of the dog world they are called) and sometimes not well behaved and have a tendency to wander off. They are still not recognised in NZ as a pure breed - and we largely or solely take our cue from the world canine organisation that currently recognises around 332 breeds. By the way NZ also does not recognise American Pit Bull Terriers as a pure breed either. That is not to say that Jack Russells are not very popular here - in fact they (Jack Russells and Jack Russell crosses) are the third most popular breed of dog in NZ.
I'll have to take your word for it that a Corgi-JRT cross makes a wonderful dog.
