has anyone come across Jack Russells in the combination before?
Also to point out - JRTs are only recognised by the KC as of this year, and blue isn't a recognised colour: http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/jackrussellterrier
True - but there was a reason that they weren't recognised by the KC before, and it was to do with all the outcrossing and them essentially being a mongrel breed. The standard is pretty much a copy/paste job from the PRT anywayAnother breed of dog which is being offered up to the alter of the Kennel Club, and to be ruined. The only people who would consider the K-C to be of any use, would be those with an eye to profit.

There is a "rare" chocolate JRT offered at stud locally, again rare because its not a recognised colour but no doubt the owner is doing very nicely from stud fees.
If we're talking about the same dog then they are hardly rare any more, we're knee deep around here in his purebred mini chocolate Jack4Studwork offspring.
JRT are not a pedigree, they are always white with black markings, the markings can only be brown and/or black not blue.
the blue is likely to have come from some other breed and as jack russels are essentially mutts that is nothing new, they are a type (like a lurcher) that stays very true to type as they have to be a certain size to do the job they are/were bred for.
Actually, JRTs have now been recognised by the Kennel Club as a pedigree breed.
How recent is that? the true terrier men must be up in arms

I think it only went through in December, the KC was handed a petition with 1000 signatures imploring them to leave the breed alone, obviously they ignored them... JRTs seem to have done well enough without a bit of paper I assume the majority of them will continue too.
