Default "irish" jack russells vs. parson russells

Is there a difference in temperament between these two? Is there any
difference at all? I'm reading that the Irish or short legged jack
russells are not bred to hunt, are less likely to dig and are better
with kids or as family dogs? Is this true? Does anyone have any
information about this? I need a good family pet that isn't too big.
We had a beloved beagle, who died, but our experience was that he
howled and wanted to roam too much and we're looking for another dog
that meets our various "criteria". Thanks in advance.

I've seen those claims made for Irish Jacks - by people charging highly
inflated prices for poor quality, unregistered, bred for sale puppies from
dubious sources.

There should be no difference in temperament between long legged & short
legged jacks and they all dig & they are all challenging pets. IME the short
legged ones can be keener ratters but really the only difference between
them in a family environment is how high they can climb to steal food )
