~ Levi ~ Jumbo personality in a small package! Loving, playful, protective, hilarious, what more could you want? And I am a pit-bull lover so that says a lot! You will not regret a single minute once you bring this breed home and as far as dealing with Carol, I couldn’t have asked for a more kind and compassionate experience. I had just lost my first Irish Jack puppy in a freak accident and was devastated. She was very understanding and had sincere sympathy for my loss. She knows about this breed, loves sharing, and when you get your puppy she sends you home with the dearest package! You will have to get a puppy to find out what’s all in it! The only regret you will have is why you took so long to get one!

Who ever knew buying a puppy would be so much work??  Well let’s just say the research that led to finding the perfect puppy was labor intensive!!  All the hours of research, evaluating content and looking at pictures came to an end once we found Carols Jacks!!  She had gained our serious consideration as we viewed her website and realized her serious commitment to breeding and raising “Irish Jacks”.  More impressive was the involvement of her family in this process, providing the puppies with the love, care and socialization required to develop into well adjusted pets!!  The fact that we lived in Florida was irrelevant as long as we found the right breeder for us!!   Once we started conversing with Carol we knew we had made the right choice!  Buying a new puppy became very easy at this point!!  She asked many questions of us and our home-life and provided us with as much information as we needed!  It was obvious she cared greatly about the kind of atmosphere her puppies would be exposed to.  This only reinforced the fact we had made the right decision in choosing Carol!!    The puppy!   From the moment he was born, Carol kept us informed on his growth with photos, e-mails, and even little video’s to make sure we were involved.  As his personality developed she was right there describing it to us.  When we picked him up, we felt we already knew him as well as Carol!  It didn’t end there, Carol sent us home with a complete packet on how to keep Brady happy and healthy…and instructions to us on how to do it!    We feel we discovered the Best Kept Secret with Carol and her Irish Jacks and are proud to be part of her Family Tree!!   Rob, Linda and “Brady Finnegan” Florida

" My 11 yr. old son had come to the conclusion that our family needed a dog. My son is very specific and further informed me that the dog must be..." small but not too small, short-haired, smart, friendly, energetic, an awesome soccer player, not hyper, and must be sturdy." That was a tall order for a small dog. But all criteria taken together, only one breed came up, the Shortie Jack Russell Terrier..(aka Irish)   That's how it happened. We were lucky enough to find Carol and her family who were raising Jacks with love & care that greatly influences how these pups turn out. I have two dogs now, 'cause you can't just have one! They are perfect pets and companions. They travel to work with me each day, attend all my (3) sons' sporting events, integrate well with ALL people & dogs. They DO think they own everything (they are terriers, after all), but they certainly do own our hearts. I highly recommend Carol's Jacks to anyone who is looking for a very special companion. You won't be sorry, but you might end up with more than one!!!   Dr. Gail D Mason, DVM

"As the proud owners of TWO of Carol's Jacks, we are writing to tell you about the truly wonderful experience we had with her.  We did extensive research to make sure we chose the right breed for our family.  After we read the information on Carol's website, we called her and she was such a delight to talk with.  It was evident right from the start that Carol absolutely loved her pups and wanted to find the right homes for them.  She is one of the most caring, kind and compassionate people one could ever know.   We are so much in love with our first dog, Jackson, that we wanted to get another pup from Carol one year later.   We now have two jacks, Brady and Jackson, and we just can't imagine life without them.  Jackson welcomed Brady into his home and now the two are inseparable. They are very smart, loving, loyal and affectionate.  The physique and temperaments of Carol's Jacks just cannot be matched.  We have been told by MANY veterinary professionals that Jackson and Brady are exceptional dogs and that our breeder is one of the best.  Carol's Jack Russells are raised in a wonderful and loving family environment, and they are perfect dogs for people with children.  If you are lucky enough to see Carol, Al, and their three children with the puppies, you will understand why these dogs are so special.  Jackson and Bradys' sweet temperaments developed from the love, care, and attention they received since the day they were born.     Carol is an exceptional person who will provide you with the support and information you will need for the life of your dog.  She is committed to their health and well-being.  I encourage anyone who is considering adding an Irish Jack Russell to their family to call Carol.  I just cannot say enough about her or her dogs.  Quite simply, they are the best."   Barbara Friend

Dear Carol: I can't thank you enough for providing me with the most wonderful puppy in the world. You and your family provided the loving home and nurturing that is the perfect recipe for puppies. Thanks to your care "Yogi", my little "dogi", has the most wonderful disposition anyone could ever ask for. He loves children, people, and other animals. He's playful, smart, loving, and a quick learner. I followed your suggestion and took him to puppy kindergarten where he was the "star" of his class. Of course, in order to to have a well trained puppy, you need to have a well trained owner, so I guess I'm the one who actually went to "kindergarten". And I'm so happy I did. Yogi is now 3 1/2 months old. He already knows commands such as "come", "stay", "down" and many others. He really is a joy to be around and everyone just adores him. People constantly remark that I have such a beautiful puppy. Please have anyone that you want contact me as a reference. I'll be more than happy to tell them just how great your puppies are. I know that anyone who is fortunate enough to get one of them will be as happy as I am for years to come. Ken Wagner Mansfield, MA

"I wasn't sure if I really wanted to buy a puppy. Then I met Carol and her family. There was so much love and fun associated with the dogs and puppies I wanted to leave with one the first day we met.  For the next several weeks Carol kept sending me info and pictures of my new puppy and encouraged me and my family to visit as often as we wanted, which we did. When watching Carol with the puppies I could tell she loved each one like they were her own babies. The day we picked up Eddy, he was in great shape and ready for his new home. When I took him to the Vet. a couple days later everything Carol told me would happen did. My boy was given a perfect bill of health! The best thing that has happened to me in a long time was buying my little buddy from a responsible breeder like Carol and her family!"

Dear  Potential Puppy Owner:   My husband and I were researching puppies online when I came across CarolsJacks - I immediately fell in love with her adorable Jacks and emailed her to introduce myself.   From our first email exchange in October 2004 to the day we picked up our puppy, she was the most sincere, caring and loving owner I could have ever hoped to meet.  Her unquestionable LOVE for her dogs is unparalleled. We kept in touch regularly over the months before and the weeks after our puppy Zoe was born.  Once Zoe was old enough, she even invited us into her home to meet her and play with her three weeks before our "going home" date.   When I met Carol's family, it was easy to see why our puppy has a superior temperament and playful personality.  Carol, her husband, and her kids play with these puppies and nurture them from the day they are born. Zoe was so well socialized and such the CUDDLER!  She too exemplified all the lovable traits of Carol and her family.  In addition, I have to say Carol displayed a unique combination of professionalism and sincerity throughout the process.  She helped us prepare for our puppy and supplied us with all the paperwork and instructions we needed.   Keith and I would highly recommend a puppy from Carol. Zoe is healthy, happy and so much fun!   Warm regards, Samantha and Keith Moran
