Do not let this little dog fall into Small Dog Syndrome, where he believes he is pack leader to all humans. He needs to be given rules to follow, and limitations as to what he is and is not allowed to do. It is paramount that you are this dog’s pack leader. They are intelligent, and if you let them take an inch, they can become willful and determined to take a mile. Children should be taught not to tease or hit the dog. Stable Parsons are friendly and generally kind to children. Careful and amusing, he enjoys games and playing with toys. Spirited and obedient, yet absolutely fearless.
The Parson Russell Terrier is a cheerful, merry, devoted and loving dog.
