"the Parson Russell Terrier and the JRTCA Jack Russell Terrier. The Russell Terrier originated in England, but the country of development was Australia. The name ""Jack Russell Terrier"" was never used to describe a breed of dog. Rather, it became a common name for any predominantly-white earth-working terrier after the death of the clergyman Jack Russell. The only requisite was color, the instinct combined with the will to employ earth-work, and the size to work efficiently underground. Still today, the name is widely used for working terriers of the Parsons Reverend's style. It was in the country of development, Australia,"
