Q: Is there any type of guarantee?
We will guarantee our dogs fully. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your puppy, we will allow you to exchange the puppy for another. Sometimes you are looking for something a little bit different than the personality you got with your puppy. In these cases, it is exchange only.
The only time refunds will be given is for a genetically caused problem with your dog. The details will be on the agreement. However, we will not guarantee
our puppy from harm or illness caused by your negligence, the negligence of others, or outstide forces. There will be a written guarantee at time of
purchase that we ask you to read completely and sign when it's time to take your puppy home. If you are not physically picking up the puppy, we will send
it in the mail and ask you to return it to us before your puppy leaves our care. Based on the selection process, I will make every effort to attempt to screen
out those who I feel would cause harm or harmful environments to the puppies.
Q: What is the cost of your Jack Russells?
Our Jack Russells will be priced based on their quality. Our base price is $700. For Pet-Quality puppies the price is $700, for Breeding Quality puppies
the price will vary from $800 and up. If you wish to reserve a first pick the base price is $900, and second pick will be $800. Deposits are $200 and are
refundable up to two weeks after you are sent the first announcement of the litter you have reserved a spot for. After the two week period, you will
either forfeit your deposit or transfer it to hold a spot in another litter. Within those two weeks you may receive a full refund. Please contact me for details
on payment methods.
Q: If I can't pick up my dog at your facilities, how will I get my pup?
We can ship your puppy to you via airplane. This will range anywhere from $170-$250 for the ticket alone. You will be responsible for the $30 carrier, and
the health certificates. If this sounds like the option for you, once you contact us we will be able to get a better idea of your total cost. If for some reason you
have a relative or friend who will be in our area willing to pick up your puppy, there must be a notarized letter sent to me giving the person authorization to
pick up your puppy. Remember- once the puppy leaves our care, it is your responsibility to keep it safe.
Q: When will my puppy be ready to come home?
We will not release our puppies any sooner than 8 weeks of age, we'd prefer to keep them 10 weeks, however we understand sometimes it's just too hard to
wait that long! But, it will be at our discretion. If we feel the puppy is not ready to go at 8 weeks, we will keep it until it is ready. Also, we understand that
hard times fall and there might be some cases where you can't pick up your puppy at the designated time. IT'S OK! We will keep the puppy as long as needed
until you are ready for it to come home.
Q: Ok, I'm ready to put down a deposit, what do I do next?
Once you contact me that you are ready to put down a deposit, I will get in touch with you. I WILL NOT take a deposit until I feel that YOU are ready for
a puppy. I want to make sure you are looking for a companion and not a back-yard pet. Jack Russells are emotional creatures and need interaction on a constant
basis with their owner. I urge you as much as I possibly can to research these dogs. Trust me, if you think you'd like one now, imagine the benefit of learning
about them and appreciating them for what they have to offer you. After we have talked and everything appears in order, we will set up arrangements for you
to send or make a deposit.
Q: Should I get a male or a female? What markings are best?
All questions regarding sex, and markings are mostly preference based. If you are looking for a Pet-Quality JRT, I'd say go with the one you find prettiest and
having the best personality. It may be male or female. If you are going for Breeding-Quality JRT, I would say you want to look for the sex you are wanting to
start with, or add to your program. I have many personal prefrences on color, however I won't take color over quality.
Q: Do they shed really bad?
All dogs shed. (Unless of couse it is hairless). Some will more than others. Our smooth coat sheds more than our thick coat. We keep lint rollers handy
and towels in the back seat of our cars just to ensure cleanliness. If you keep your dog well groomed and brush it often, you will see a lot less of a problem
than if not.
Q: Are they as hyper as everyone says they are?
Jack Russells have a lot of energy. If you exercise them consistantly, and train them properly, you will have a dog that will chase his ball for hours, and yet will
stay placed in his bed for hours if need be. We recommend swimming for your puppy as well. It is wonderful exercise and they really enjoy bringing you back
a toy after they 'worked' for it. A Jack Russell is going to want to make you happy, so if you put in the time to train it and you are on the same page with your
Jack Russell, you will be able to control the energy and truly enjoy your puddin!
Q: Are they good with children?
In a general answer: yes. Jack Russells are extremely loving and a child's size is just right for them to get close to to lick their faces! Latte adores children and
Chaco sees them as another hand to throw a ball for him. However, like the puppy, you need to teach your children the proper way to treat a dog. Our dog
was scared by two children as a puppy and it took over a year for me to get him un-'traumatized'. It was a simple case of teaching the child how to play with
him. That may not be the case with every Jack Russell though. If we recognize a temperment issue with a puppy, we will look to place it in a home suitable
for it. If you pick out a puppy, and over time we feel your home would not benefit from the puppy, we will have to say no to sending it home with you. In
that case, we will help make arrangements to satisfy your situation. If we do not see a problem with the puppy and you get it home and it becomes timid or
aggressive around your children.... assess the situation before you jump to conclusions that you got a 'bad' pup. In most cases, as much as we love them,
children are not treating the animal the way it should be. If this is the case, the behavior with the dog can be corrected.
Q: What if I work full time, yet am dedicated to spending my free time with the puppy?
Remember, your Jack Russell loves attention. This is true during the day time as well. I would personally suggest getting two Jack Russells. On the days
that I am extremely busy, my dogs keep each other company. And while you may think it's outrageous to buy two now, in the long run you'd be thankful.
If you decide two aren't right for you, I would say try to have facilities accomodating to your puppy. A back-yard would be ideal, but when they are that small
a kennel will be your only choice. I hate to think of these playful things locked up for 8+ hours so it's hard for me to encourage keeping them in a kennel.
Once we are in contact and I know your personal situation we can go form there on suggestions and plans for keeping your puppy happy.
