Jack Russell Terriers Currently Available
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:
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.
