Jack Russell Information

Answers to questions you may be wanting to ask.
Please read this in it's entirety . You might not agree with some of it but
remember we are all different.

SHIPPING PUPPIES
Delta Airlines is my choice of airlines as they are very pet friendly and fly into places other airlines don't service.
Weather has to be just right or a letter of acclamation for the puppy is needed during the cold months. The vet
makes the decision if the puppy can fly which is a wise choice. In hot weather there are no exemptions. Over 85
degrees, the puppy cannot fly. I can ship collect for the airline fare or prepaid. Many times I can give you next
day delivery! The puppies ship excellent. If they did not, I would NOT ship via air! Currently the rate is approx.
$228.00 for the airline anywhere in the USA.
PRICING MY PUPS
Pricing is usually a number that comes into my head when I look at a puppy and determine whether this is an
unusually different puppy. The rough coated puppies are harder to come by and much different than the smooth
coated puppies. I am always asked which I like the most and I don't like to a answer that question because the
fact is the puppy is going to be yours and you should be happy with your choice. Therefore I will weasel out of
that answer.
Generally the rough coated pups will be the more expensive followed by the broken coats and then the smooth.
COAT LENGTHS
The coats very from dog to dog. There are full short, medium and long rough coated dogs. The rough coats have
longer hair than the smooth coated dogs. The broken coated dogs have smooth hair somewhere on their body
along with the longer hairs throughout making them a "broken coat." Now some dogs can look smooth coated
but in fact have a thick mane down the middle of their back or can be smooth with whiskers like old men. Being
positive what type of coat a puppy will have is not 100%. If you have bred these dogs long enough, you will not
stake your life on a coat length!
ATTITUDES
Attitude and personality in Jack Russell's can make all the difference in the world as to whether they can go out
and make you proud or instead make you want to hide them in a trunk somewhere. I pride myself on the
personalities and attitudes I have bred into my dogs. I must say that attitudes can be effected by the number of
JRT's you have out together at one time along with the male vs. female ratio. Unless you are a breeder or your
yard is designed where dogs can be divided up; I would strongly advise no more than two Jack Russels at a time
and preferably the opposite sex. Please spay or neuter your pups when they reach the appropriate age. Again,
please heed my warning when I say that more than 3 JRT's can mean trouble. Females can get contrary and fights
will break out that could result in injury or even death to another. Breeding JRT's like many other dogs can be a
hard lesson to learn.
VACCINES AND VET VISITS
Your new puppy will have his or her vaccines kept current until the time they leave the kennel. From that point,
it is your responsibility to continue with the vaccines unless they are complete. This may be an added burden for
you and must be considered with the cost of raising the puppy. Vaccinations are imperative and if left undone
can cause your puppy's life to be in danger. Be sure you figure the vet bills in with your decision to purchase a
puppy. The cost of the puppy is only the first step in the overall cost of maintaining a dog. Also be sure to use
heartworm preventative and flea control monthly.
RETIRING THE BREEDING DOGS
There is a time when the mother dogs are retiring from their first job and are ready to be placed in loving,
responsible homes. We have decided to started an adoption page for these dogs and we do require an adoption
agreement along with a $100.00 adoption fee. We take great measures when placing our retired dogs and will
only place them in veterinarian approved homes. If you think that a retired dog would be the perfect addition to
your family, then please by all means check out our adoption page.
HUGS AND KISSED REQUIRED
Last but certainly not least...you must give dog love! If you are not willing to hug your dog like your children,
wife, or husband, then my dogs aren't for you. Kisses are optional but hugs are a must!
KENNEL VISITS
I love having visitors! I enjoy showing off my dogs and talking dog stuff. I enjoy people who enjoy dogs,
therefore your visit is always the highlight of my day. I don't just sell a dog; I am giving to you an extension of
myself. Each dog goes with a part of my heart. My dogs are my passion and seeing the expression in your eyes as
you see the dog that grabs your heart strings and fills your needs gives me a satisfaction that this is what it is all
about! Anyone who comes here can see that I have spared no expense in creating an environment for each dog.
I invite your to come visit and if you cannot do so your always welcome to visit if your ever get in my neck of the
woods.

Thank you so much and God bless you!
