JACK RUSSELL TESTIMONIALS

Fun Loving Puppies for Fun Loving People 

I was “bitten by the Jack Russell bug” many years ago & this entire web site is a testament to my “addiction”. Yes, I call it an “addiction” because if you are like myself & many others, once you’ve had a Jack Russell you will never want a different small breed. Jack Russells Terriers (JRTs) are the epitome of the “BIG DOG” in a “small package”, which in itself can be both endearing & challenging. I hope that this section will enlighten you in your quest for a puppy & help you decide whether or not a JRT is the right dog for you.

BEFORE, you make the decision to acquire a JRT puppy take the time to click on this link http://www.terrier.com/breed/jrprofiler.php3 and take the JRT “INTERACTIVE PROFILER” to see how compatible a Jack Russell might be for your household. Please take into consideration that acquiring a puppy is a life long commitment. They will become an important family member, not a disposable chattel.

Breeding outgoing, healthy puppies is fun, yet full of challenges along the way. Thorough research is completed on each & every litter with an emphasis placed first and foremost on a stable temperament & health.

With the JRTCA/JRTCC’s unique breed registry, individual adult terriers are registered on their own merit no younger than one year of age. Each terrier must pass a comprehensive Vet examination for health before that terrier is allowed to enter into our exclusive breed Registry and used in my breeding program. All adults are BAER (hearing) tested & CERF (eyes) tested normal before proceeding with planned breedings.

I provide each puppy purchaser with a 2 year written health guarantee against any genetic disorder. I also offer each new owner a sample of the puppy food to get started, a four (4) generation pedigree, vaccination record, vet health certificate, information about raising and training your new puppy along with ongoing  support after you take your puppy home.  

Along this vein, Conquest Terriers are fed only the top Holistic brand of dog food interspersed with a raw diet to keep their health at its optimum level. We feed and highly recommend Eagle Pack Pet food, http://www.eaglepack.com/index.html .
 

All litters of puppies are born and raised in the house. They are stimulated from 3 to 16 days of age using the “Early Neurological Stimulation Method” developed by Carmen L. Battaglia, PhD. Studies have shown that this mild form of stress is enough to stimulate hormonal, adrenal and pituitary systems. When tested later as adults, these same animals were better able to withstand stress than their littermates who were not exposed to the same early stress exercises. As adults, they responded to stress in “a graded fashion”, while their non-stressed littermates responded in an “all or nothing way”. Benefits of this stimulation as observed in canines that were exposed to the stimulation exercises are;

1 – Improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate)
2 – Stronger heart beats
3 – Stronger adrenal glands
4 – More tolerance to stress
5 – Greater resistance to disease.

In tests of learning, stimulated pups were found to be more active & exploratory than their non-stimulated littermates over which they were dominant in competitive situations.

Conquest pups are introduced to litter training as soon as the weaning process starts, which is around 4 weeks of age. By the time they are ready for their new homes, they are very clean and use their litter on a consistent basis. Due to their litter training they realize that there is a “good and a bad place to go”, they easily make the transition to “potty” training outside.

 

They are well socialized taking part in many functions, with numerous car rides under their belt. They are temperament tested at 7 weeks of age which is used as a gauge to place them in ideally compatible homes. My puppies are ready to leave for their new homes between 7 and 9 weeks of age. 

Pups are given their 1st puppy vaccination and are wormed twice before leaving my home. Visitation is restricted (but allowed) in order to protect my kennel & puppies as much as I can from parasites and viruses that could unknowingly be brought in on clothing.  I try to give you as much information as possible on the website.

I sell the majority of my Jack Russell Terrier puppies as pets (they must be spayed or neutered). Prices  start at $600.00.  I require a non-refundable deposit of  $100.00 to reserve a puppy if you are within driving distance to pick up your puppy, BUT if I am shipping your puppy I require a $250.00 non-refundable deposit. (Please Note: Between Nov. 1st & April 30th Air Canada has a live animal embargo in place to certain areas that smaller aircraft is used so we cannot ship until the Spring). I accept cheques or money orders for your deposits and receipts are mailed, if requested. The balance is due when you pick up your puppy at approx. 8 weeks old or one week in advance of shipping your puppy.
