The Parson Russell Terrier - Loyal and Energetic

One of the best environments for a Parson Russell offers access to a nicely sized yard with a fence. Allowing this breed to run freely and burn off excess energy is a great way to keep your dog happy and healthy. So, if you're not ready for daily walks with a little bit of running thrown in, the Parson Russell breed may not be for you. Always keep in mind that this is an intensely active dog breed.

When it comes to the appearance of your dog, you may find delight that minimal grooming is needed. Removing dirt from the coat of a Parson Russell is quite simple. Using a sturdy bristle brush about once or twice a week on the coat of your dog will keep him or her comfortable.

Health Concerns

Where other dog breeds face a wide range of health issues, the Parson Russell is a hearty, healthy breed. Most of the medical concerns associated with the Parson Russell involve the eyes and ears. Special care should especially be taken with the ears and hearing of your dog. This is because, over time, the threat of deafness becomes of issue.

Conclusion

If you're looking for a dog breed that can keep up with the hustle and bustle of an energetic and fun family, the Parson Russell is for you. Like to go for runs and take walks to the end of the earth? The Parson Russell is the perfect dog to have by your side. All you have to do is make sure you have what it takes to properly care for this loyal breed and many years of satisfying companionship await your commitment.
