Joyce K.

Breeder of Russell Terriers

Meet the breeder

I'm Joyce K., the breeder behind JRS Russells located in Collbran, CO. Champions with outstanding temperaments. We have been breeding for 29 years and our dogs are the heart and soul of our family. You will be charmed by our dogs' affectionate natures, delighted by their not-always-politically-correct behavior, and exhausted by their energy. We are pleased to share the joy of our dogs with you. Your rewards will not cease!

Q. & A. with Joyce

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My beginning started with a group of "little hunters" running out of a barn in Ireland, ready to go on a cross-country hunt. It was love at first sight.
  • What makes your program special?

    From the beginning, I have set goals to improve the little dog that ran out of the barn in Ireland. Beginning with conformation and seeing the process through to genetics.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
