F.A.Q.'s
- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ?????
How much are
your puppies? 2011 reservation puppies are
$1200 Price includes your professionally bred, health certified, beautiful, funny, happy,
friendly, family loving pet! Puppies are veterinary checked, have had all necessary vaccinations, first set of
dewormers, eye and ears checked. Your pup will come with a veterinary health certificate and my lifetime guarantee.
These puppies are not imported from a broker or a 3rd party who knows nothing about the puppy that was shipped
in to them at 8 weeks old. My puppies are delivered by ME. :) My puppies are all of true Irish
descent.
The cost of your puppy will be close to or less than the amount of money charged by pet stores, but at "pet" stores you will
be buying a puppy from a puppy mill, or from brokers who buy from puppy mills. They can be (and usually are) riddled
with physical and psychological problems. These problems are not apparent right away and can end up costing
you thousands of dollars in medical bills later on down the road. There is absolutely NO comparison to buying from a private breeder who
has an established history, education and passion for their puppies. It's my pleasure to meet with prospective
owners and introduce them to my precious pups and their parents. From their birth(and even before their birth)
I am able to give lots of individual attention, unconditional love and unsurpassed care to the puppy that
you will be bringing home and living with for the next 15 to 20 years!. I will be available throughout
the entire life of your puppy for questions, concerns, advice, worries, or just bragging rights! Debbies
Pet Land in Emerald Square Mall is selling a Jack puppy for $1000 Don't be foolish and buy your puppy from a PET
STORE!!! See more information on my IMPORTANT INFORMATION page. Thank you.
The average buyer has no idea of the phenomenal amount of time,
work, effort, love and money that goes into breeding the best puppy. This is not just a "hobby" for
me, I take it very seriously and absolutely love what I do. I hope to give new owners the comfort
and security they need to make the decision to get a puppy from me an easy one.
Do they shed?
Yes they do shed - it's a minimal amount - they have
a heavy shed period one time before the hot weather comes. Coats are short, and low maintenance.
What's with those ears?
These ears are great!! Sometimes they
are up, sometimes they are down, sometimes one is standing up while the other isn't! Each dog is different, there
is no disqualifying "standard" here. Do they get along with cats?
Our puppies love and get along with all family members. A more appropriate quesion would be...will
the cat like the puppy?! - it's important to socialize the two right away. Puppies learn to live with anyone! Is it hard to train Jack Russells? No, just the opposite. They are extremely
intelligent, train quickly and easily. (Ever notice how many are in TV shows and commercials?) Trained dogs
are happy dogs and know their place in the family. Trained Jacks make happy Jacks and happy owners! I
strongly recommend enrolling your puppy in Puppy Kindergarten and/or similar training program as soon as you bring your
puppy home. Consistency, structure and socialization (human as well as canine) ensures a well trained, well adjusted
and all around happy dog family. I can suggest names, places and programs for training. Aren't they hyper?
Not the shorties. The Parsons (long
legged) jacks are very active, my little guys strike a nice balance between fun activity and quiet snuggling.
If you ask someone with a Parsons Jack Russell the answer will always be Yes! "They're crazy!"
which, unfortunately for us shortie breeders, gives all Jacks a somewhat negative reputation. Proper early
training plays a MAJOR roll on your dog's behavior. ALL dogs need to play and exercise daily.
Our Jacks like to be with you no matter what you're doing. They are great little playmates and enjoy an active life but
also love to sit on your lap, snuggle and just hang out with you. They will mimic your own lifestyle.
Are they good with children?? Yes, they are excellent with
children. However, I don't recommend new puppies be placed with any child under the age of four years old. The
children just don't understand yet, the delicacy of handling a new puppy. Plus puppy nails and teeth hurt in the
early days. You should always watch your young children around any animal! How long do they live?
A happy, healthy Jack's "typical"
life span is about 15 plus years........this breed stays "young" for a very long time. How do I get one??
-We ask that you answer a short questionairre/application which
helps me to determine owner compatibility, environmental compatibility, social compatibility and overall positive
owner/puppy match. -Reservations are taken on a first come first served basis, and potential buyers should be aware of some waiting
time. -A $200
non refundable deposit is required from clients who have answered the compatibility questionairre and have been accepted
as a good match. No deposit is required for repeat families ;) -Delivery arrangements can be made, but I prefer
not to "ship" puppies. Do you have any references?
Yes. Many. See Testimonial page or email me for more. . Do you have any quarantees?
I offer a lifetime guarantee of return for your puppy/dog. If for
any reason during the life of your dog you can not keep him/her, please contact me first; I will immediately help you place
the dog in an excellent home of my choice and/or take him/her back. No refund will be offered.. - Your puppy will be in
excellent health when s/he leaves here. You will receive written health certificate from my veterinarian. You will receive a written vaccination record from my
veterinarian. -I will be available for questions, concerns, and advice throughout the entire life of your puppy/dog. Any and all health problems that arise after 10 days from when your puppy leaves here are solely your responsibility,
however, contact me and and if I can help, I will. I also offer dog-sitting in my home for carolsjacks
pups and dogs only. For more information please check out my dog-sitting page. What are the basic differences in Parson/Irish/English/Puddin
Terriers It
would take 4 pages to answer this question, there is an insurmountable history and extremely diverse beginnings in all
"types" of jack russells. The answer depends on who you ask, the club they are or are not affiliated with,
the depth of their adherence of "standards" and opinions. I would be happy to discuss this
with you at anytime. SEE PHOTO BELOW TO SEE THE HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO
