Jack Russells have appeared many times in film, television, and print – with several historical dogs of note. It is unlikely, however, that any dogs alive today can be proved to be descendants from Trump, as Russell was forced to sell all his dogs on more than one occasion because of financial difficulty, and had only four aged (and non-breeding) terriers left when he died in 1883.The Fox terrier and Jack Russell terrier type dogs of today are all descended from dogs of that period, although documented pedigrees earlier than 1862 have not been found, although several records remain of documented breeding by John Russell between the 1860s and 1880s. Jack was dropped from the official name in 1999, and the recognised name of the breed became the Parson Russell terrier.In the late 1990s, the American Kennel Club explored the possibility of recognising the Jack Russell Terrier.
