SCC
– French Kennel Club –
For the improvement of the pure-bred dogs in France Dear
Mrs Leclercq, After
your letter dated 1st November 2001 concerning the decision taken
about the Parson Russell Terrier and the Jack Russell terrier, we would like to
give you the following precisions : -
The club and the zootechnical commission have taken this decision because
the french dogs population is divided into two populations having the same
genetic origin. -
From an historical point of view, it is normal that England has
recognized the european population of this small primitive terrier. -
This country has not recognized the small height population and that is its
right. -
But telling that Australia is a
zootechnical reference, France would have been able to aspire
to it regarding the important population of terrier-type bicoloured ratters,
that have been known for several centuries in our country. The
Parson and Jack Russell terrier Club is an example for its
selection quality, absolutely in adequacy with the spirit of the breed
founder. There are enough terriers
that have lost their initial working abilities. We
don’t want to see the development of an umpteenth
house terrier. I think to have been precise enough and I can only encourage you to take part in the working trials. The
President R.
