I'm Alison C., the breeder behind Kimberlite located in California. Our dogs excel in performance & do well in the ring but most importantly they are beloved companions. We work a lot with our puppies, we start training & socialization to help them adjust well to wonderful, loving homes, providing outlets for their natural instincts climbing, digging, barking etc.
Q. & A. with Alison
Why did you start breeding?
We both had amazing Jacks touch our lives before we got our Inja. We realize how important it is to Jacks to be an integral part of your live All our dogs are raised in our bedroom, and handled daily , we do not have a kennel , our dogs live in the house We try to give both our dogs and pups the best lives. We just love these amazing dogs! We look forward to helping you find the perfect JRT!
What makes your program special?
The pups first 2-3 weeks are spent in our quiet bedroom with limited daily stimulation to allow their nervous systems begin to develop , we start with ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) at 3 days, and as their ears and eyes open we provide them with challenges & interactive toys designed to optimize their physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. We start Puppy culture protocols At 3 weeks we start supervised time outdoors to begin potty training and learning new things and they socialized with our dogs We put many hours of love & training into each puppy They get exposure to cats, and farm animals.
All puppies start crate training, and they begin to learn obedience commands We keep puppies until they are between 10 - 12 weeks old to provide optimal early socialization with other dogs, animals, people, car rides, trips to see and hear city sounds and noises. All puppies are wormed , their first DAPP shot and we send their health record, and temperament test Since Good dog is taking a share of the cost of the pups we have had to raise our prices have gone up We are sorry for this
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tri-color, white, black and white, and tan and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Verified owner · Sept. 2025
Alison helped us get the puppies we always wanted. From the time they were born it was like were there watching them grow. We couldn’t wait for the next pictures or videos. The instructions, articles and videos were very helpful in getting ready for this breed. She is very knowledgeable about this breed and prepared us for when we were getting the puppies. Health records were so helpful when we took them to vet. Nice we were able to meet Alison when she brought the puppies to us. We cannot thank her enough for our babies.
