From the first contact with a potential
adopter (usually an email), I try to
make sure my pups are placed in
permanent homes.
This is to ensure my babies will have
long, happy lives with their new
owners. I usually ask the prospective
owner to email me
their number (or they can call me if
they prefer). I have an unlimited long
distance plan so there will be no cost
to the
prospective buyer. Some of my
questions include:

1. Have you ever owned a Jack Russell
Terrier?
2. If so, why do you prefer Jack Russell
Terriers to other breeds?
3. If you have not previously owned a
Jack Russell, what do you know about
a Jack Russell Terrier?
4. Will you be able to spend alot of
time with your pup?
5. How will your pup be able to live in
your new home? For example, do you
plan to have your pup live inside or
outside your
home or both? Have you discussed
owning a Jack Russell Terrier with your
vet?
6. How do you plan to house train your
pup?
7. Do you have children? If so, what
are their ages? Have you discussed
the responsibility of owning a pup with
them?
8. Do you plan to raise Jack Russell
Terriers? If so, what organizations are
you involved with? How equipped are
you to be
able to raise a litter of pups?
9. Do you prefer a more active/less
active pup? What type of markings do
you prefer? What size pup do you
prefer?

These questions are certainly not
meant to intimidate you, but to help
you make a responsible choice in
choosing a Jack Russell
pup that will be rewarding for both you
and your dog. Happy owners and pups
are the ultimate goal of my breeding
program.
Most of my pups are placed by
referrals and happy owners refer
programs that help them make a good
decision. Most of the
time I can usually talk to a person in
fifteen minutes or so and tell if they will
be happy with a russell in their home.

After a specific pup is chosen, a
deposit is placed on this pup. The
owner and I discuss when will be the
optimum time for the
adoption of the pup. Consideration is
given to the amount of time the owner
will be able to spend with the pup when
he/she
first arrives. The younger a pup, the
more time required to spend with
him/her. Consideration is also given to
travel. During
hot summer months or very cold winter
months, the temperature is a definite
consideration in shipping via airlines.
Some pups
can be shipped immediately upon
receipt of payment if they are old
enough; others must wait until they are
old enough to travel
to their new homes

The home for my adult jack russell
terriers was built March-May of 2005 It
boasts 9 outside runs, the smallest
being 11 x 90 feet and the largest 30 x
93 feet. All 9 outside
runs have access to their own inside
area where they can go to stay
cool/warm depending on the time of
the year. In the summer, my dogs
have fans full time blowing on them
and in the winter there are heaters and
a wood burning stove to keep them
warm.......
Inside you will also find cabinets to
store doggie items in, a wash basin
(perish the thought!), and a hot water
heater to make the water more
suitable.... oh, the life we must
lead...........

The Jack Russell Terriers' history
began with a man named
Reverend John Russell
He was commonly referred to as
Parson Jack.
The Jack Russell Terrier breed
started with a small white Fox Terrier…
a female by the name of "Trump".
Trump was breed specifically for
hunting, a task requiring
great stamina, intelligence, spirit, and
conformationals.
The Jack Russells were breed to
handle difficult trails,
small tunnels, and hidden dens to flush
out game.

The Jack Russell Terriers have three
distinct hair types. They are commonly
referred to as the
smooth coat, the broken coat and a
slightly wire-hair texture. Their coat
should be no less than
51% white. Jack Russell Terriers are
found in two sizes. They are either 10
to 12 inches tall or 12
to 15 inches tall. The Jack Russell
Terrier’s body should be proportional
to its height. It should
be compact, yet well balanced and
athletic in appearance. Their tails are
often docked at birth to
about 4 inches and should be carried
proudly, and high in the air. Their paws
are generally small,
well padded and should point straight,
not angled out.
Jack Russell’s ears are usually folded
forward and close to the head.
However, some admirers
prefer ears that are pricked or sticking
up slightly.

These little dogs are packed full of
energy! They are best suited to those
with a very active
lifestyle. They are extremely social and
require a good bit of attention. They
should be a house
or inside dog but it helps to have
access to open spaces to burn off
excess energy. These
Terriers were breed to be hunters, so
they love to chase toys and balls or go
for a long run.
Since they are a hunting breed, they
help keep pests away… but should be
supervised around
other pets such as cats, hamsters, and
other small animals.

Jack Russell Terriers love children and
they are generally considered safe
with all ages if they
are raised with the children and trained
properly. They are fun loving, playful
dogs and will
entertain you with both their
intelligence and their antics. However,
children under the age of
six years old should always be
supervised around dogs.

Jack Russell Terriers have become
increasingly popular due to their fame
on recent movies and
T.V. shows such as Frasier, Jim
Carey's Mask, Gene Hackman’s
Crimson Tide, Disney's
Wishbone, and My Dog Skip...just to
name a few!!!

Hunt Terriers:

The history of the Hunt Terrier is both old and new. Huntsmen in the early 1800's
England and Ireland used a solid colored terrier known as the Hunt Terrier. These dogs were bred by terrier men
who selected
stock based on "gameness" or hunting abilities. A hunting breed, not a show dog, little documentation such as
pedigrees or breed
history was kept on these dogs. Good dogs continued to be bred by dedicated terrier enthusiasts and Hunt Terriers
were
undoubtedly used in the formation of several more modern terrier breeds. It was the Hunt Terrier that was mixed
with a
White English Terrier to form the Russell Terrier

The future of the Hunt Terrier remains unclear.
There are not many, but those that own them are
passionate about keeping them around.

The HTCA is working to build our registry and
take the Hunt Terrier into a major kennel club in
the future.

Hopefully, with kennel club acceptance, the Hunt terrier will gain the recognition it deserves!

Do you have any type of "Guarantee" for your dogs?
I guarantee all my dogs...period. If for ANY reason the buyer is not satisfied, they can return the pup and EXCHANGE it for
another. After all, sometimes personalities just don't mix, and sometimes the pup just doesn't meet a person's expectations.
However, I obviously can not guarantee it against outside forces or negligent care that could result in the harm or death of a
puppy. For example, if the pup arrives at his or her new home and is exposed to a virus and contracts it and becomes ill or
debilitated from it... or the pup has lived in an abusive situation. I make every effort to screen out those people that would
provide such a home.

What are the prices for the Jack Russells? Does it vary?
My pups start at $600 for Companion Pet Quality........ $800. - $1500 for breeding quality.
Puppies are priced according to their bloodlines and outstanding breeding quality. Pricing often depends on the parents, the
quality of the pup and the way it conforms to the breed standard, conformation, coloring, or the coats.

How old are the pups when you let them go to their new home?
Most Jack Russells are released after eight weeks. Some I keep longer. This depends on the situation it is going to be placed in.
Sometimes the prospective owner may be spending some time traveling or be "out of pocket" and not ready to accommodate a
new pup in their home and I don't mind keeping the baby until his/her new owner is ready. I also like to make sure the pups
have had at least two vaccinations before traveling to their new home.

Do you ship your dogs? If so, on what airline and how much will it cost?
Shipping on Delta Airlines usually runs around $230.00. Crate and health certificate are included in the price of the pup. Every
once in awhile I can find a ride going in that direction and some pups are delivered that way if they ride with dog minded people.

Are your dogs good with children?
All of my dogs have been great with children. Jack Russells have a lot of energy and every once in awhile I get a pup that is more
aggressive or dominant than the others. When that happens I am much more careful to place that pup in a suitable home.

As I watch the pups grow up, I can tell which pups will be more/less aggressive. The more active a pup, usually the more
aggressive a pup will be. This is not ALWAYS the case, but many times will follow this pattern. Carefully continuing to watch the
pup will help determine how aggressive a pup will be. You can also watch his/her behavior with siblings. More dominant pups
will control their siblings. Usually the pups that are the last to come out of the crate are more shy and will not be as aggressive.
I usually spend more time with these pups to make sure they get the proper socialization.

In rare cases, some pups do more become more aggressive over time. This is usually due to their environment and can be
corrected in most cases with recognition of the problem and steps taken to correct it.

What is the required deposit to reserve a Jack Russell Puppy?
A $300 deposit will guarantee your placement of a pup.
For your convenience we offer Secure On Line Payment Processors
The final amount is due before pup is delivered.
If personal checks are written, please allow two weeks
before estimated shipping date, as check must clear bank
before pup is delivered. Please DO NOT ask me to do otherwise. The check should be made out to me:
Jana Crawford, and mailed to the address on the bottom of each page.

Which is better: male or female Jack Russells?
This is a matter of personal preference and it should be decided with each individual. Most people will state their preference to
the sex of their pup. It is really a matter of personal preference and I usually try to honor the prospective owner's wishes. If a
person does not know which sex they prefer, they usually just follow their heart on which pup steals it.

Also, what is your adoption process for the Jack Russell Pups?
I really like to talk to the person on the phone adopting the puppy. I want to make sure that the persons adopting a pup are
ready for a jack russell terrier - not everyone is. They are not for everyone. If they want a dog that constantly wants to be a part
of their life and they have time to spend with a dog then jack russells are a great reward.

How to care for your new jack russell
pup.............

People have different circumstances
that enable them to take care of their
new jack russell puppy in different
ways. However, there are some
standard practices that should be
utilized when bringing a new jack
russell puppy into your home.

1. Make sure your home is "puppy
proof". Just like babies, jack russell
pups will get into just about anything.
Things that can be chewed easily,
wires, things that can be easily
swallowed are just some examples of
things that need to be removed before
your new jack russell puppy comes into
your home.
2. Purchase a crate. If your pup does
not already have his own crate, it is a
good idea to purchase one. It needs
to be small enough that he can fit into
it comfortably but not large enough
that he can soil one end and sit on the
other. IF he learns that he has to sit in
his own soil, he will learn more easily to
hold it until he can go outside.
3. Purchase good food. I feed Iams
Pro Active Health Puppy. It is not a
really expensive food and they do very
well on it. I am sorry, but Old Roy just
doesn't cut it for me. It needs to be a
quality food made by a quality pet food
distributor.
4. Purchase a harness for your jack
russell puppy. Harnesses are much
easier to use in training your pup to
lead and they are not so easy to get
out of . Buy one that will fit your pup.
You can get one that can be adjusted
way down to fit your pup, but if needed
go to a smaller size. Your pup is worth
the price of a good harness.
5. Be consistent. When you are potty
training your jack russell puppy, be
consistent in his training. Don't take
him out one time and then the next
time it is too cold or too rainy so "I will
just let him go inside this one time and
take him out next time". You must be
consistent and your pup will learn to
potty by what touches the bottom of his
feet. If it is carpet, then it will be
carpet.....
6. Spend lots of time with your new
jack russell puppy. Nothing makes a
better dog than human companionship
and nothing is more rewarding that a
jack russell that loves you will all his
heart.
7. Consult others when you have
problems. I will answer any questions
that I can and if I don't know the
answer, I will ask someone that I think
does know. You can always learn
more about your jack russell puppy. It
is an ongoing process throughout your
life and his.
8. Take good care of your new pup.
When he needs shots/deworming, do
it. Keep your jack russell puppy on
heart worm preventative. It is some
trouble but MUCH less expensive and
less heartbreaking than your jack
russell puppy carrying heart worms
and having to be treated to get rid of
them. It does not hurt for your pup to
be checked once a year for health's
sake. Just like you, a checkup might
prevent future problems.
9. LOVE your jack russell puppy. This
is your new companion for many years
and the love and devotion you give
your new jack russell puppy will be
paid back many times over in the love
you will receive in turn. It is
true....once your go jack, you won't go
back!!!!
10. Teach others about your new jack
russell puppy. When you have
company, let them enjoy your pup as
you do, but do let them know what is
acceptable behavior for your jack
russell pup and what is acceptable
behavior for them with your new
puppy. Nothing is more frustrating that
for you to work so hard with your pup
only to have someone else do damage
to the relationship/training you have
built with your new jack russell pup.

I hope you find this information
valuable and please let me know there
are other things I should add to this
list.
