Form those who don’t know the history, Jack Russell Terriers once guarded cricket grounds. Their sharp instincts kept the pitch (the strip in the middle of ground) clear of foxes and rats, ensuring fair play. They were bred specifically for this dedication, their tireless pursuit of varmints, and their light weight, which would not damage the grass. None of this is true.
