Black And Tan Miniature Jack Russell Puppies
The Jack Russell Terrier breed was founded in the mid-1800’s in Devonshire, England by a clergyman named Parson John (Jack) Russell. Like many of his countrymen, the Reverend Russell had a passion for fox hunting.
The Jack Russell Terrier was originally bred not to kill the fox, but to cause it to run from any hiding place so that the fox hunt could continue. The Jack Russell Terrier is now more popular than ever as a lively, intelligent companion and a familiar sight around horse stables.
The color of the Hunt Terrier was predominately solid and it has been known as the Old English Black and Tan Terrier, Irish Black and Tan Terrier, Black and Tan Jacks, Golden Jack Russell Terriers or simply Hunt Terrier. This being said, the usual colors of the Hunt Terrier range from a fawn to red or solid black to black with tan points. The name Black and Tan Terrier litters the ancestry of most terriers. These prolific dogs seem to have been used to create nearly every terrier around the world. The surprising reality is the Black and Tan is closer to a type - of coat - rather than a breed.

Standard Jack Russell Terriers measure under 15 inches at the withers and their body length is in proportioned to their height. The color white should predominate (must be more than 51% white) with tan, black, or brown markings. They either have a smooth, flat coat or a wiry, broken coat. Their tails are docked just long enough to provide a good handhold.
Not until October of 2005 did the AKC recognize the “Russell Terrier”, a shorter version of the JRT that stands 10-12″ tall. These are commonly referred to as “Shorty” or “Miniature” Jack Russell Terrier and are separate and distinct from the taller hunting Parson JRT.
Tanglewood Farm began their Foundation Stock of Miniature Jack Russell Terriers in 1996. Tanglewood bloodlines can be traced back to the legendary Rushill Kennels of England. Tanglewood Farm raises Miniature Jack Russells that are bred for a calmer temperament and sweeter disposition, concentrating on health, conformation, and correctness of type for the breed. The Miniature JRT breed is not short legged (like a Dachshund) and not based on the “puddin'” type of JRT with dwarf characteristics that hamper its ability to work efficiently.

Miniature Jack Russell Terriers are a very quiet, well mannered, intelligent, devoted companion type Jack Russell that get along well with other animals and children of all ages. They are not the typical go to ground “hunters” that many JRT’s innately behave like. They are good family dogs that still have the working ability, but can turn it “on” or “off”. The Miniature Jack Russell terrier breed is a conformationally correct Jack Russell that stands 10 inches tall and weighs 10 pounds or less. Their average life span is 12 to 15 years.

Black And Tan Miniature Jack Russell Puppies For Sale Norwich
The Hunt Terrier was developed in the British Isles as a working terrier. It’s history goes back to the 1600’s where this little terrier was a part of the terrier team used to help flush fox that the horses, hounds and huntsmen had chased underground or as vermin control around the family farm. The color of the Hunt Terrier was predominately solid and it has been known as the Old English Black and Tan Terrier, Irish Black and Tan Terrier, Black and Tan Jacks, Golden Jack Russell Terriers or simply Hunt Terrier. This being said, the usual colors of the Hunt Terrier range from a fawn to red or solid black to black with tan points. Most recently, a group has started calling this little terrier the Euro Russell and renamed The Hunt Terrier Club of America to The Euro Russell Club of America.

These dogs were originally bred by men who selected stock based on hunting abilities. In the field when riding to the hounds where the object was to chase the fox, the small terriers would be carried on horseback in pouches. If the hounds chased the fox underground, the terrier men would release the terriers to help flush the fox out so that the hunt could continue. Occasionally the solid colored terriers would be confused by the huntsmen as the fox. This brought about more selection to breed white into their terrier team to make it easier to distinguish the Hunt Terrier from the fox; leading to what is known in Europe and Australia as the Jack Russell Terrier, and in the U.S. as the Russell Terrier or the larger, longer legged Jack Russell and Parson Russell Terrier. This, coupled with the general decline in the demand for sporting terriers has caused the numbers of Hunt Terriers to decline and to be considered rare. Fortunately, good dogs continued to be bred by dedicated terrier enthusiasts. Unfortunately little documentation such as pedigrees or breed history was kept on these dogs. They are not recognized by a kennel club and did not enjoy the popularity some terriers saw in the 20th century. However, a few dogs remained on the farms of England and Ireland and started to be imported more frequently in the 1970’s. In the mid 1990’s a few American breed enthusiasts bred these dogs and crossed some of them with the Russell Terrier to increase their limited gene pool and this is still considered an acceptable cross today for the Hunt Terrier, although only the offspring that are predominately solid colored are considered as Hunt Terriers. Their dispositions are charming and full of fun, making them an excellent family dog today. Please visit our Facebook page to see if we have any puppies currently available.
