Oh for pete's sake ... Parson Russell, Jack Russell .. whatever! I have one with long legs and one with short legs, and they were both rescues without AKC papers .... so it really doesn't matter what I call them. I could call them either name.
My point was not what the "official" name of the breed is now, or if there is one breed or two. I own two of the dogs, and I don't give a hoot what you call them.
My point was that it's not fair to label an entire breed "out of control" or "mean" or "stupid" and that sterotypes are not fair or right. Breedism is wrong .... that was my point people.
Sheesh. Kind of missing the forest for the trees there, eh?
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
