The Jack Russell Terrier is a type of small terrier that has its origins in fox hunting and rat catching. The name "Jack Russell" has been used for all of the several types of Russell terrier dog breeds but is now most commonly used for working terriers. Their temperament is feisty and independent. They are very popular in television and cinema for their endearing appearance, and several notable "JRTs" include Moose, who played Eddie from Frasier as well as the title role in My Dog Skip, and Wishbone.
