Sarah Jane Crane

Our sweet Birdie is the absolute love of our life! She is super smart and has the most wonderful, loving personality! We could not imagine a more perfect fit for our family than her! Jodi was beyond professional, personable, & kept me informed every step of the way. She made sure that we got our sweet girl just in time for our girls to have a Christmas surprise under the tree! I highly recommend everyone have a Butterball pup in their life! We hope to be back soon for a second!

This is Tucker the little F! Well you know. He will be two in April and he is the second JR we've gotten from Butterball Kennels.
Tucker loves his Mum & Dad!
He sits, shakes hands, rolles over, begs and we can put a biscuit on his head and feet and he won't eat them till we give him the ok! I think he has us trained !

This is my second Butterball puppy. We came back to Jodi for our next puppy because we believe in her ability to select conformationally sound, genetically superior and incredible personalities in her breeding program. Our family is forever grateful for the Butterballs in our life.

We purchased our first Butterball in 2011. We named her Taffy. She was a part of our family and we missed her dearly every day since we lost her in August of 2022. In 2015 we purchased our second Butterball. His name is Scooter He is full of energy and so loving. Honestly I would never consider getting any other dog other than a Butterball. They are simply the best and so is Jodi. She takes great care in raising all her pups. Thank you Jodi for making our lives so much fuller.

Lauren Mitchell

The best decision I ever made. Our happy, healthy pup grew up to be a super smart, sweet, beautiful girl. She is a ball of energy but the best couch potato you could ever ask for. Part guard dog but loving family member, friend, and companion. The icing on the cake is having Jodi and the entire Butterball Family for support and sharing our love of her amazing dogs. We could not imagine a life without a Butterball.

I was so lucky to have found Butterballs! I have never been more impressed with dogs in my life. In July 2023 we welcomed two boys to our family. Cowboy and Jersey have brought us so much joy. They go everywhere with me including the horse farm and are so well behaved. People always ask where I got Jacks with such great temperaments. I will always recommend Butterball to my friends and will surely be back again for another one day! Thank you!

Shauna Burks

This is our Butterball boy Dexter. He is 2 now and we got him after our 16 year old Westie passed away. He is the sweetest, craziest, funny, people loving dog we have ever owned! He is our "velcro" dog! He loves being with us always. For a JRT he is really very mellow ( except when the doorbell rings) then it's craziness! Jodie we can't thank enough for the wonderful breeder that you are! I would get another Butterball in a heartbeat!

The moment that our 15-year-old short Jack Russell passed away I yearned for another baby. My vet recommended, butterball kennel, and from that moment forward I was in contact with Jodi. Jodi was so patient with my million questions and would send pictures at all the different milestones of her infancy and we could not wait for the day to pick her up. Our little Pacè is not only the most exquisite little being that ever walked the face of the earth but the smartest! We are grateful to you Jodi!

We adopted Maddie in 2017. She is funny, sweet and very affectionate. She draws my older dog into playing and made her years younger. We cannot image our lives without our sweet girl. We highly recommend Butterball! Jodi is not only a breeder with integrity but puts love and care in her Butterball puppies. So grateful.

Jocelyn Kurdzionak

I have had and loved Jack Russells for over 20 years. After I lost my last one there was such a hole in my heart. I did some research and found Butterball and contacted Jodi. I am in the northeast so was unable to go to Florida to see the puppies so I had to rely on Jodi who I didn’t know to find a puppy for me. We had some phone conversations and Jodi picked a puppy for me that turned out to be the best puppy ever. She is everything I wanted and more.

Jodi at the Butterball Kennels was highly recommended to me. Jodi was very kind caring and understanding when I brought my Daisy home in Dec. of 2022. She helped me every step of the way. Daisy is such a wonderful loving dog!

Butterball Russell Terriers are exactly what I was looking for. a small sturdy dog to show in Conformation and other Akc sports. Pictured is my 1st. Butterball the day she became a AKC conformation Champion. Thank you Jodi for spending time answering millions of questions and most of all for producing beautiful well adjusted pups with great temperaments. You can't go wrong with a Butterball puppy... I have two now...

Butterball Kennels was the perfect choice. Jodi is responsive and caring and raises adorable, well socialized pups. Jodi accompanied our Duncan to NJ for delivery and we couldn’t be happier with our butterball. Duncan loves people and other dogs (not birds) and we can take him anywhere! The hardest part is to pick one because they are all so freakin cute!

Jodi and her Butterballs are nothing short of perfection. She helped my husband surprise me with the perfect Butterball/Jumping Jacks fur baby.. This is my second Butterball and first Jumping Jacks and he is perfect. Samson has added life back into our home. We are already talking about getting him a sister. He is my 4th Russell Terrier and have be has numerous others in my family. They make the best family dogs and are extremely smart. Jodi & Liz are highly reccomended.

What a smart little girl with a beautiful personality! We picked up Maggie two weeks ago and in just a short period of time she has blended into our routine with no problems. She already sits on command, stays, goes down, jumps through a hoop, and even gives a high 5. My husband and I are so pleased with Maggie, with Jodi, and Butterball Kennels 😊

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.

Annette Villarosa

My husband Carl and I were devastated when our 17 1/2 year old Jack passed away, after a month we decided we couldn’t be without a Jack Russell. After much research we decided on “Francesca” from Jumping Jacks and Butterball Kennels! Liz McCormick was great and was very helpful and understanding since we both came down with Covid and had to delay getting our “girl”. Francesca has brought such joy and happiness to our family. Everyone loves her and she loves everyone.

Nicole imbriglio

We added a 7th butterball to our family in late March. And now just a couple days ago we decided to add just one more to make it even. 😂 all 8 of our butterballs are related in some form or fashion. The one common thing regardless of the relation that they share is they make the very best family dogs. We don’t go anywhere without people commenting how well behaved and calm all our jacks are. That’s simply because Jodi breeds her dogs with families in mind. We have a 20 year relationship BB.

I lost last JR in Dec. I have had at least 15 JR's over the years. I have other small dogs but they don't fit the hole in my heart. I simply can't live w/o my best buddy. "Foozie" was my 14 y o little girl & she fought so hard to live but God said it was time. I am looking for another one so maybe the memories will live on,

Jack (Tan&White) was my first Jack Russell. Dian (Black&White) we bought three years later for a companion to Jack. He was my best friend, my seizure alert dog, and my greatest companion for 14 years. We lost him this last April. We are planning on purchasing a new companion for Dian in the very near future! I cannot thank you enough for the love, friendship and devotion these two pups have brought into my life.

Sophie was the best dog a girl could ask for! She was my third Jack Russell, and by far the friendliest, most loyal, adventurous dog. She was by my side for 15 years and I miss her terribly. I will be returning to Butterball when the time is right for my next JR.

Meet Dazy and Dezel. 2 year old liter mates. Dezel is a handsome boy and very loyal. Dazy is exceptionally beautiful. People all the time say she is stunning. She is the boss.
They play hard together all day but have the sweetest dispositions. Dazy will lick your cheek at night when she has to go potty. Well of course they sleep with us.

My son and I traveled to Butterball Kennel to purchase a new puppy for me as my female Jack had just passed away, We got there and fell in love with all of the adorable puppies. I picked out an adorable little girl and although that was all we supposedly went to get my son fell in love with a male puppie so off we went with our two adorable New Jacks. My sons Jack has passed away after a great life, and my Jack Abigail is still going strong. I recommend Butterball Highly!

Butterball JRTs are simply the best! These are the two newest members of our family, Max & Lily, and are our second pair of Jacks from Butterball. These pups are smart, funny, adorable and have the best temperament.. We couldn’t imagine getting any other breed or going any where else! Thank you Jodi for these two wonderful pups!

Russell is our second Jack Russell we got to be a companion to our first. Jodi was so amazing to work with and you can tell she really cares about her dogs and puppies. We went out to her place twice and all the pups are super friendly and such a great environment for them. Russell is extremely smart (sometimes stubborn) and so incredibly sweet. He has the absolute best personality and has been the greatest addition to our home.

William Floyd

We bought our Hunt Terrier 2-1/2 years ago. His name is Cooper and is the best dog we have ever had. He is loving, calm and very smart. We have a large fenced in back yard and he gets plenty of exercise. I would recommend Butterball Farms for Hunt Terriers or Jacks. Their kennel is absolutely the best, no cages. Mommy and babies are kept in a covered area with access to the yard. Very professional.

Just wanted to say that almost 15 years ago we were blessed with a Lil Jack Russell from you. He has been the best part of our family as he runs the house. He is still going strong with his younger brother a black Lab that keeps him going. He enjoys his daily walks and his long naps as he is now older. There is not a day that goes by where he reminds us that he is the boss.. Love every minute we spend with him. Thank you for allowing this lil fur ball into our world.

We are now the proud parents of BBF:Sunset. She is an amazing girl. As a retired Mommy, she is a settled lady of leisure now. And yes, we spoil her something awful. We had lost our JRT that we had for 18 years and it took a long time to even get Hubby to look at another dog. We went to see her at Liz McCormick's Jumping Jack Farms and it was love at first site for all of us. What a great, friendly, loving companion. And a super traveler. Many thanks for this wonderful bundle of love.

Sir Winston joined our family in April of 2021. Without a doubt, Butterball Kennels and Jodi are absolutely amazing. From picking our puppy to meeting Jodi and getting Winston, we had an amazing experience. Winston has just celebrated his first birthday. We’ve watched him grow from a tiny pup to a well-bred, full-of-life JRT. If you love Jacks, contact Jodi. You won’t be disappointed. ❤️

Bobby Chromik

If you are reading these testimonials & trying to figure out who is the best breeder of AKC Jack Russell Terriers. You have found the right place! I had multiple options & chose a Butterball for our family because of Jodi's integrity, communication, experience, & dedication. From temperament to health, all the boxes are checked off with these dogs. We got Squid in March 2019 & he is amazing! Our two labs (Moo/Tubby) & Squid are looking forward to a new brother, Butterball #2 in December 2021.

Our family’s Butterball journey started in 2006 with a fluffy lemon and white female that was my Mom’s heart dog. Since then, between my parents, myself and my kids, we have since added 12 Butterballs to our family circle.
Over the years, we have been blessed with the smartest, kindest, happiest jacks. Jodi has become a cherished friend.

Donna Matarazzo

Jodi is one of the best breeders in the World. She is honest, kind and devoted to the Jack Russells. I’m proud to call her a true friend. The temperament of her dogs is absolutely amazing. Her JRTs are the sweetest, funniest and smartest dogs I’ve ever met. If you want to laugh every day, you must purchase one of her JRTs. I’ve purchased 4 from her over the years and my current two, Duke (rough coat) and Cole (broken coat) are in the pictures. Love them both more than words can say!

We chose Maci-Mae to join our family in May of this year. She is a beautiful girl with gorgeous markings. She is so full of life, love, and energy. We lost our first JRT back in December of 2020. She was our first and only fur-baby for 16.5 years. Now Maci-Mae is our “grief baby” and is helping us to heal and put back fun & adventure into our lives. She’s also our first Butterball and we love her dearly. Jodi knows her jacks and was simply wonderful to work with 🐶🐾❤️
