Meet the breeder

I'm Linda Q., the breeder behind Journey's End located in Aiken, SC. I love the Russell Terrier breed so much. I have been breeding for 45 years. I also show conformation, have been a GTG judge, and also hunted my Terriers for 12 years. I love being able to spend my life surrounded by these incredible dogs.

Q. & A. with Linda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I lost my first Russell Terrior to cancer. I thought owning multiple dogs would make it easier when the next one passed, I was wrong.
  • What makes your program special?

    I study pedigrees and breed for the standard. Temperament is a must!
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
