	The Russell Terrier or FCI Jack Russell Terrier is not a dwarf breed or Puddin Jack. Any responsible breeder will not cross a Parson type Russell with the Jack Russell Terrier, doing so will only lead to body types similar to ] and other form issues which eventually lead to poor function.

	The Puddin Jack is not a recognized breed and is only a nick name for a mixed white terrier of small stature.

	==Appearance==
	The puddin will be a variety of colors; any shade of tan and white, tri, golden, black and white, or other solid colors. The nose may be liver or black, the ears can be button down, semi-prick and are often full prick eared.

	The body is usually a 70% body to 30% leg ratio. Height being between 8-12". Weight varies to very light up to 35 pounds. The puds legs are almost always benched in front, crooked or queen anne style, like the furniture.

	Chests are quite often unspannable by the medium sized human hand, usually barrel chested and definitely not compressible.

	]

	==Health==
	Breeding this variety of a terrier will only result in health problems;

	'''Dwarfism''': the state of being a dwarf; underdevelopment of the body. May be the result of a developmental anomaly, of nutritional or hormone deficiencies, or of other diseases. See also achondroplasia, cretinism.

	'''Cretinism''': arrested physical and mental development with dystrophy of bones and soft tissues, resulting in disproportionate dwarfism. Due to congenital or early onset hypothyroidism. Seen in foals and possibly is an unrecognized cause of neonatal deaths in other species.

	'''Achondroplasia''': a failure of growth of cartilage in the young, leading to a type of dwarfism. Several breeds of dogs display this in their standard conformation, e.g. Dachshund, Basset. See also chondrodysplasia.

	'''Chondrodysplasia''': abnormal growth of cartilage; may be used to include achondroplasia. Causes disproportionate dwarfism and occurs as an inherited trait in cattle, sheep, and dogs (Alaskan Malamute, Miniature Poodles, and Norwegian Elkhound).
