One very important practice of ours is our breeding ethics. We do not reproduce from any terrier who has a genetic fault. They must be sound in the mind and structurally and conformationally correct. All our puppies are properly socialized in our home so that they are ready to become a part of your home.

Unfortunately, the Jack Russell has been portrayed as a hyper, yappy dog. This is furthest from the truth. Yes, Jack Russells are energetic but not hyper. Our dogs get excited when we come home or when we’re heading out for a day in the field. Other than that, they mainly want to be curled up next to you on the couch.

The picture below shows the typical faults of what many people believe to be a Jack Russell Terrier. The Jack Russell should be square, not short in the legs, which gives some terrier types a daschund look.


THE PARSON/JACK -- In April of 2003 the American Kennel Club changed the name of the Jack Russell Terrier to the Parson Russell Terrier by request of the Jack Russell Terrier Association of America. It was simply a name change, not a change in breed or breed standard. The Parson is the Jack Russell Terrier as we all still call the breed today.
