I'm Dianne L., the breeder behind Forge Creek Working Jack Russell Terriers located in South Carolina. I raise competitive and hardworking dogs. My puppies go on to be great pets, competitors and working companions. My love for this breed sparked my interest in persevering the heritage of the original Jack Russell Terrier and reliable working dogs. I am dedicated to preserving the breed standard and natural abilities of these amazing dogs.

Where do your breeding dogs live?

Dianne has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
Dianne partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 10 weeks old.
“Puppies are matched to potential home based on matching purpose, surroundings, owner experience and energy levels. I do not allow potential homes to “pick”, the puppy is chosen for you based on you and the puppies personality. ”

Dianne may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Dianne offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Dianne directly.
