Ivanka, mom
Jack Russell Terrier
About Ivanka
Ivanka was Trumps daughter. One of our sweetest females ever. The best momma to her pups. She is retiring this year so no more babies.
Allie, mom
Russell Terrier
About Allie
Allie loves playing at full speed but then at night she’s ready for relaxing by my feet or in my lap. She’s loves playing in the backyard and uses the doggy door to come in for her food or to sit with me awhile. Loves her balls and constantly will fetch for me. She loves to be held and her belly rubbed. She has great conformation and testing for PLL and SCA is in the process and will have results before her first breeding. I’m sure her babies will be the ones who love cuddling along with their playtime.
Porsche, mom
Russell Terrier
About Porsche
Porsche is a show dog. Very obedient to all commands and has had two litters so far. The best momma dog to her babies. She’s a full rough coat but I keep her trimmed 3 times a year. She can outrun all the other dogs but loves to lay at my feet while I’m watching tv and goes straight to her crate ( and loves it) at bedtime. She travels with me and Harry on long trips and people everywhere love them. Will be an exceptional litter.
Harry, dad
Russell Terrier
About Harry
Harry is my best friend. Raised on our farm and stayed with us from birth. He loves sitting in my lap watching TV in the evenings. So very smart and the most loyal dog I’ve ever owned. When we’re outside, he is always watching me to see what I’m going to say next. Never far from my side and a lover boy to all the ladies.

Lady, mom
Jack Russell Terrier
About Lady
Lady is such a sweet, always tail wagging smooth coat Jack Russell. She loves to run, play, bark at all the farm animals but she loves being inside especially when she’s being catered too from being pregnant. She is the super mom when it comes to cleaning and tending to her babies. She lets me do anything I want with them but she’s right with me as I weigh each one or give them de-worm at 10 days old. The temperament is what we strive to achieve in each litter of Jacks we raise and we choose our mom and dads with care.
Josie, mom
Russell Terrier
About Josie
Josie is my best friend and she’s always looking to see what I expect from her. She’s sweet to people and other dogs. One fantastic momma to her babies.
Dolly, mom
Russell Terrier
About Dolly
Dolly is full of dancing energy yet she loves to sleep beside me and lay in my lap while watching tv. She is gentle with everything. I’m loving her personality and conformation is excellent. Cannot wait until she’s old enough to produce litters.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Norvell Kennels reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Russell Terriers.

Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Late Onset Ataxia, Spinocerebellar Ataxia (LOA, SCA)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Diann was great to work with! She responded to all questions and we had a great transition day for our new puppy. Blitzen is a beautiful dog with a great temperament. Our Vet said he was in perfect health! We are so happy to have him in our family.

Diann was great! She quickly responded to my inquiries and kept me up to date on my pup until he was ready for pick up. Going thru good dog was super easy and would not hesitate to work with them again.
Mary Helen L.
Verified owner · Sept. 2025
Diann is a lovely person who is easy to work with and has a great location. The dogs are all well cared for and she sent us home with not only the cutest puppy ever, but a starter pack of necessities including a harness and leash, food, instructions, even a blanket!
My vet’s office was over the moon with what a high quality, gorgeous dog we have and pronounced him to be in perfect health, …after everyone took selfies with him.
We registered him as Toshi Bear and he enjoys going to soccer and the lake as well as hanging at home with the kids and learning new tricks. We have been thinking about getting a second puppy from Diann now that he’s acclimated to home life!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
