Q. & A. with Mary J
Why did you start breeding?
My husband has always had Jack Russell Terriers and wanted one. We had to travel several hundred miles to get Scooter. My vet talked me into breeding quality Jack's for people to enjoy.What makes your program special?
We breed only 2 litters a year. It took us several years to get our perfect shorty parents. Our dogs live in our home and are part of our family.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
