We have been raising fun loving and sweet Jack Russell Terriers for about 20 years. They also happen to be quite good looking and tend toward the tri-color short legged, short coated variety.

 I got my first Jack Russell Terrier in 1986 in Upstate New York Spanky. He was out of a tiny bitch named Molly and by a beautiful dog named Bandit that had been imported from England. I didn't know what I was in for when I got him. That dog was really part human. He could understand English better than most humans do and was loving, compassionate, and always enthusiastic. He had perfect manners, was great around all people, dogs and children, and really was an exceptional ambassador for the breed. Thus came my love and passion for the Jack Russell Terrier.

 Jack Russells are like having a BIG dog in a very convenient and cute little package.  Spanky flew all over the country with me and even vacationed in Puerto Rico once!! The flight attendants always enjoyed him and once even moved us to first class so that Spanky could have more room!! He was always attracting attention and drawing people out.

 Spanky is the foundation of my entire breeding program. He was a fantastic stud dog and left quite a legacy behind. Our Current breeding bitches are direct descendants of Spanky.   Jasper is a grandson of Spanky's and Tucker is a great-grandson, and both have been used in our breeding.  Which brings me to saying that temperament is of critical importance to my breeding program. Though all of my jacks have been well trained and had a lot of time spent with them, they have great temperaments to start with.

I have also always been enamored with the black and tan jack russells that I have seen in England and in the horse community.  Finally, we have added one to our family!!   "Sterling" was recently imported from England and is a real darling.    We look forward to breeding him to our "Spanky" line of bitches!!

 If you are looking for a fun-loving and active new member of your family, you are in the right place!! Just remember that Jack Russells need an active lifestyle and lots of attention.  They require a firm hand and early and consistent training. Do your homework on the breed before you decide to add one to your family. To learn more please visit the JRTCA web site.
