I'm Connie J., the breeder behind Cedar Grove Jack Russell Terriers located in Wendell, NC. We are a small kennel with a limited number of carefully planned litters each year.
We strive to breed terriers that excel in the conformation ring as well as the hunt field.
They must be healthy with sound temperaments to make the best overall terrier for competition or just as a great family pet.
Q. & A. with Connie
Why did you start breeding?
I have been showing and breeding jack Russell terriers for over 30 years. I’ve been active in the national and local clubs the entire time and have recently reached my goal of JRTCA confirmation judge
What makes your program special?
We may be small, but as a kennel we take our dogs' health as the greatest priority to give you the best pup possible - a friend at home, a companion on the hunt, or a star in the show ring.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We brought home "Daisy" on October 6, 2024. We had her checked out by our vet and she is very healthy! Daisy is almost potty trained even though we have only had her for 2 weeks. She is sweet and cuddly - just what we were looking for. She adores her bigger brother too.
