Rose free to good home
Rose has been one of my best breeding females she is pregnant now to Bubba. She will be available after she weans her pups or we can negotiate a price for her pregnant. She is very petite and makes great pups small and stout. We kept one of her pups this last litter. Her name is nubby because she is just a nub of a dog. She is so attached to my husband no one else can hold her when he is around. We love her and her momma.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the three types of coats on a Jack Russell Terrier?
Rough-Coat dogs have longer hair than the smooth-coat, and have more trace hair on the dog's head, face, legs and body. This coat is the lowest shedding coat of the three. A puppy shows signs of being a rough-coat by the all-around-coat being full and thick.
Smooth-Coat This coat is a short, slightly harsh coat and gives that sleek look that Shorty Jacks are famous for. Jack coat color can be white, black, tan or a combination of these colors.
Broken-Coat is the type of coat that is a combination of both a smooth-coat and a rough-coat. This means that some patches of the body will have short, smooth hair, and other areas will display longer, wiry hair in combination. The mixture is usually around 50-50, but this can vary greatly from dog to dog! We love this look, and most folks seem to ask for the broken-coat. A puppy can show signs of a broken-coat early on by having a little 'sprig' of hair coming from the corner of their mouths.
2. Can Short Dogs Jump?
Did you know Jack Russell Terriers can jump as high as five feet?? These pups are also known for their endurance; they can run long distances and can even burrow underground, waiting for days on end to chase out their prey (not an ideal situation due to dehydration).
3. Shorty Jack or Parson Jack, what's the difference?
The Jack Russell Terrier was the first hunting dog that Reverend Russell bred. After his death, the breed evolved into the Parson Terrier (“Parson” is another word for “Reverend”). This breed had longer legs — 12 to 15 inches versus the JRT’s 10 to 12 — an intentional development so the dogs could better navigate the more hilly areas where they hunted.
The Russell Terrier is the newest offshoot of the Reverend’s original terrier breed. Known as the “Shorty JRT”, the breed has the shortest legs of all three types of the lineage: 8 to 12 inches tall.
The three breeds do look alike with a few differences, such as their body height and shape. The Parson Terrier has a square body while both the JRT and the Shorty JRT have rectangular bodies.
4. Will a Jack make a good family pet?
The Jack Russell Terrier is a happy, energetic dog. They are alert, loyal, and make good watchdogs. They are very adaptable to their environment and their favorite place is by your side at home. They make the perfect playmate for kids! They sit for hours by your feet and just adore you.
5. Are They Trainable?
Jack Russell Terriers are highly-trainable dogs, and soak up new tasks like a sponge. They can, however, exhibit stubbornness if they don't like the attitude of the person training them. Once basic obedience is mastered, Jacks can move on to advanced obedience, trick-training and agility work. One of our puppies is a Certified Therapy Dog, and beloved by all!
6. Are all Jack Russell Terriers a Live Wire?!
The short answer is NO; we have found that our Jacks are very smart, and the reason some Jacks have a hyper reputation is that intelligent dogs need toys and interaction! Also, the broken and rough-coat genes, in our opinion, have a more calm, cuddly temperament. Our Jacks love sleeping in the bed and watching TV from our laps. Each dog has its own personality, however. After a little exercise and time out of the crate to socialize and acclimate, Jacks love to cuddle up! They need exercise & are great if they have "you time".
