Welcome To Chewy Dog

Chewy Dog is all about a lovable, intelligent and spoiled rotten Jack Russell Terrier by the name of Chewy and his sidekick Cherry. As you can see by looking around the site, Chewy and his girl Cherry are quite the pampered pooches. Chewy is a very smart dog, he knows how to open and close doors, when he wants something, he has a way of letting us know just what it is, whether it be a favorite toy under the couch or he needs to go outside or come in.

The Origin of the Jack Russel Terrier

Jack Russell Terriers descend in most part from a dog named Trump, which was obtained by the Parson John Russell of Devonshire, England, in the mid 1800s. John Russell was a fox hunting enthusiast, and he sought to develop a line of terriers that could keep up with the horses and bolt and dispatch fox. His line was so successful that it eventually carried his name: Jack Russell Terrier. Although John Russell eventually became extremely active in the English Kennel Club, for some reason he declined to show his own breed in conformation shows, Jack Russell Terrier aficionados followed his example, proving their dogs' mettle in the field rather than the show ring. This tradition holds true even today, although some JRTs have now entered the show ring. After heated debates in which most JRT fanciers objected to AKC recognition, the breed was nonetheless admitted into the Miscellaneous class in 1998. In England, it was admitted into conformation classes as the Parson Jack Russell Terrier in 1991. Jack Russells have long been popular with horse owners and are frequently seen around stables, but the type of terrier more often seen there has short legs and a long body. The term Parson was added to distinguish the traditional long-legged JRT. In the 1990's, the JRT became a popular media dog, and its exposure caused great interest in the breed from pet owners. As a result, its numbers are growing at an alarming rate.
