Is a Jack Russell an akc recognized breed?
No. They are registered separately under JRT clubs. The AKC recognizes the Parson Russell, which is a kind of "show dog" variation on the working Jack Russell Terrier.
Why is the Jack Russell terrrier not an akc recognized breed?
Because Jack Russell purists don't want the working qualities of the JRT to be diluted in the quest for the perfect show dog. Hence the creation of the Parson Russell, which is the AKC registered show dog version of the JRT. The JRT remains a breed focused more on function than form.
How many kennels are registered with the AKC?

How are Jack Russells ranked in intelligence?
New answer. The Jack Russell's full bred name is the Jack Russell Terrier. In his book The Intelligence of Dogs, probably the best book on the subject, Stanley Coren describes intelligence tests he uses to find a dog's intelligence and he rates many breeds. His list of 79 breeds shows no terriers until #27 and most of the terriers start to show up on the list between #47 and #79. This means that generally speaking most terrier breeds are in the lower half of the list in intelligence. Jack Russell Terriers, which are noted for their intelligence, were not ranked because they were not recognized by the AKC until 2013. Coren did not include breeds recognized elsewhere but not in North America.
Why are their no standard greyhounds and bull mastiffs in the akc dog shows?
