Meet the breeder

I'm Diann N., the breeder behind Norvell Kennels located in London, KY. We’ve only been breeding Jack Russell’s for 9 years now and strive to get the perfect temperament & conformation. We start crate training and potty in the grass before they leave as well as 2 sets of puppy vaccines for a healthy start. All are raised inside and socialized. We welcome your visits.

Great level

  • 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).

    We could not have asked for a better experience from start to finish! Diann was wonderful sharing weekly photos of our sweet pup to be. Giving us tips, advice, explaining and answering questions. She is so knowledgeable and caring with the puppies. Our puppy “Coolee” has only been home for a few days….she is the most loving, adorable, smart puppy. She knows to go potty outside, loves her crate for naps & bed time. Plus Diann sent home with us a little goodie bag with harness, leash, water & food bowl (with some food & water), a toy, and blanket to ensure a smooth transition. We can’t thank you enough Diann!

    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!

    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.
