In fact, up until relatively recently, there was no distinct "Fox Terrier" breed - the term Fox Terrier simply referred to any terrier used for fox hunting, so Jack Russells fell under this umbrella term. So this mix is the closest to being a true Miniature Jack Russell.
There's more information on the Jack Russell Fox Terrier mix on this page. These dogs tend to have a noticeably curlier coat than a typical JRT.

So what on earth is this elusive third similarly-named breed, the Russell Terrier? It is also usually used to refer to the stock of dogs from Australia, and not even the English dogs. A Jack Russell is an extraordinary athlete. Not only are they agile and fast with incredible stamina, but they can also jump five times their own height. That means that a Jack Russell with an average height of Jack Russells love attention and combined with their smarts and expressive faces, it makes them paw-some little actors.
Jack Russells became embedded in pop-culture thanks to Wishbone and Frasier. Bothy, a Jack Russell owned by explorers Ranulph and Virginia Fiennes is the only dog in the world to have set paws in both the North and South poles. This pooch, and his special red snowsuit and balaclava, became wildly famous. And because of the ban of dogs in Antarctica, it means that there will probably never be any other pooch to claim this extraordinary accomplishment.
Given the broad gene pool and muddled distinction with other breeds, Jack Russells can vary quite a bit in size and weight. Generally, you can expect your pooch to be about a foot tall, slightly longer than they are tall, and weigh less than 8.
Jack Russells can vary dramatically in their appearance depending on the kind of coat they have. But underneath all that fur, the dogs look similar. All Jack Russells will be small and stocky dogs with narrow chests and are muscular without being bulky. They have dark, almond-shaped eyes and should look alert and enthusiastic. As for their snouts, they should be moderately sized and well-proportioned to the dog.
Usually, their tail is held straight and upright, but when relaxed they can go limp. Their body is longer than it is tall, and their legs are quite short. Typically, the Jack Russell colours are limited to a palette of three possible colours, white, black, and tan. A pooch can have any combination of these three colours, but usually white is the predominant colour. However, just like many things with the Jack Russell, there can be a lot of variation.
On the other hand, all-white dogs have been seen too. Although by standard they should be a deep tan, some dogs have light lemon markings, and others a deep chestnut. Jack Russells come in three different coat types, which each lend it a certain look and texture to their fur. Many terriers come in smooth coat and rough coat varieties, and the JRT is no different.
A rough coat Jack Russell will have longer, wiry fur. Meanwhile, a smooth coat Jack Russell has shorter fur that lies smooth and against their body. Long-haired Jack Russells are just rough coat dogs. The third coat type, broken coat, is a mix of both smooth and rough coat. A broken coat Jack Russell will have both patches of smooth fur as well as areas of longer, thicker fur. The amount of smooth vs rough coat can vary too, but many have as much smooth fur as they do long.
No matter which texture of coat your Jack has, you can expect them to shed quite a lot. Also, their fur is very water and weatherproof, regardless of whether it is smooth or rough. Despite numerous listings of puppies marked as Miniature Jack Russells, there is no such kind of dog.
Provided your dog is well trained and socialised, many bad behaviours like aggression or destructive chewing can be prevented. However, you should still be wary that a Jack Russell needs plenty of exercise and activity in their lives to keep them happy. As long as you have socialised your pooch at a young age and provide plenty of exercise and stimulation for their alert minds, you should have a cheerful and balanced pooch who is a doggedly loyal and a playful fur-iend.
JRTs are very affectionate and very protective and sometimes possessive over their owners. Generally are very friendly towards other people. However, they can be wary of other dogs and are known to be competitive with other Jacks especially. Overall, you can expect your Jack Russell to be very loyal and loving. These pups are bold and fearless, with a stubborn streak that can make them a handful.
Generally, yes, provided you have no other pets and no very young children. Because of their bold and feisty nature, a JRT might bark and nip at anyone that they disagree with, which means both humans and hounds need to understand how to interact with one another appropriately. But if you have older children, are all active, and have plenty of time to play and train a pooch, a JRT might be a paw-some choice for you.
But this is definitely not a breed suitable for everyone. 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 Parson Jack Russell Terrier is now more popular than ever as a lively, intelligent companion and a familiar sight around horse stables. Standard Jack Russell Terriers measure under 15 inches at the withers and their body length is in proportioned to their height. They either have a smooth, flat coat or a wiry, broken coat.
