I lost my second Jack Russel 2 years ago after 16 1/2 years and my first one for 18 Years. I was ready to get another one and a little picky. I found the Website and picked my little girl Riley. Jodi and her team were wonderful to deal with and made it easy. I will always recommend them. Thank you for making my family complete again. We are so happy.

  • Where are you located?
    3050 East Highway 316 Citra, FL. 32113
  • Do I need to schedule an appointment to visit?
    Yes
  • What is the price of your puppies?
    I only sell my puppies with AKC limited registration; occasionally I may make an acception. My pricing starts at $1500 regardless of color, gender or hair coat.
  • Do you offer puppy transport?
    Yes we do! We offer flight nanny service and personally fly with your pup in cabin. This is not included in the price of the puppy. You must be able to meet at the airport. We also offer ground transport within the state of Florida and may on occasion offer it to surrounding states--we charge $2.00 a mile one way.
  • Have your breeding dogs been health tested?
    Yes. We strive to breed for overall health and disposition above all else. When PLL & SCA DNA testing first became available, we tested every single breeding dog in our program. From those results, we chose to only breed dogs that tested CLEAR and any we purchase are either tested CLEAR or from parents that tested CLEAR.
  • Do you offer stud service?
    No we do not. There are risks involved when breeding outside females that we are not willing to take with our studs. While we appreciate your interest, sadly we must decline.
