I'm Elly S., the breeder behind Hickory Hills Jacks located in Fairfield, IA. We breed high-quality Russell Terriers. We love what we do and are committed to producing well-bred, healthy puppies for loving homes. We commit ourselves to prepare each one of our puppies to thrive in their new homes, and we enjoy working with their new families so that they can raise their beloved companions with confidence!
Q. & A. with Elly
Why did you start breeding?
I have always had a Jack growing up. When my son was born, we got a female. Annie was the apple of our eye. We loved her temperament and how she was with our kids. We wanted to raise family dogs like her to give families lifelong companions.
What makes your program special?
Each puppy is loved as if they are staying with us forever. We give weekly baths once they reach 3 weeks of age. We also start potty and kennel training the puppies as a group at 6.5 weeks of age.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
