| Can I meet the
sire and dam of the pups and visit the kennel
area? |
| . |
|
| Absolutely! You are most welcome
to meet the parents of the pups, along with the rest of the
gang of Jack Russells living here at Little Eden. We’re proud of the
great temperaments and physical beauty our terriers
possess.
|
| . |
|
 |
We believe it is important for
you to see for yourself what you can expect your puppy to be
like as an adult.
All Little Eden puppies are whelped and raised in our
home. The adult
dogs are rotated on a schedule throughout the year between the
house and the kennel area. The kennel living
quarters for the terriers consist of indoor runs with heated
dog houses and spacious outdoor fenced paddocks for daily
exercise. This
routine, along with plenty of long walks and fieldwork, keeps
all Little Eden terriers quite happy and
healthy. |

| What paperwork is required for JRTCA
registration? |
| . |
|
| After becoming a member of the
JRTCA, you will need to obtain a Registration Application to
register your terrier when it becomes eligible at one year of
age. Along with
the completed application, you will also need to furnish the
JRTCA with a copy of the four-generation pedigree and stud
service certificate provided in your Puppy Packet.
Unique to the JRTCA registration
process is the Veterinary Certificate portion of the
application. Your
vet will need to complete this section and sign the back of
three photos of your terrier
within |
|
| 30 days of applying for
registration. You
can contact the JRTCA for complete details regarding the
registration process. |

|
| What
is a spay/neuter contract and why do you require one for
puppies placed as pets? |
| . |
|
| We require that any puppy placed
as a pet be spayed or neutered before one year of age. It is our strong
belief that altered dogs make better pets. They can be less prone
to territorial marking behavior and their wandering tendencies
may be curbed. In
addition, a dog altered at a young age is virtually free from
any possibility of certain health problems that may occur in
an intact dog, such as testicular or mammary
cancer. |

|
| Does my
terrier being spayed/neutered affect its eligibility for JRTCA
registration and participation in club
events? |
| . |
|
| Altered terriers are Recorded,
rather than Registered with the JRTCA, with records maintained
on the dog similar to the registry. Recorded terriers are
eligible to earn JRTCA Natural Hunting Certificates and are
welcome to participate in the various performance
events |
| offered at JRTCA-sanctioned
trials, including: Obedience, Agility, Racing, Go-to-Ground,
and Lure Coursing.
Many sanctioned trials offer
special conformation classes for spayed and neutered terriers
but these terriers are not eligible to compete in the regular
conformation classes, which are traditionally designed as a
showcase for breeding stock. |

What are “Breeder’s
Terms?”
. |
|
sdfdf |
|
“Breeder’s Terms” is an
arrangement that varies with individual cases; but generally
it is a temporary co-ownership of a bitch that requires a
puppy from said bitch as part of the payment for her. Upon completion of the
Breeder’s Agreement, the bitch is transferred to the
purchaser’s sole ownership.
Puppies available on Breeder’s
Terms are specified as such in the Available Puppies section
in For Sale. |

| What does “temperament tested puppies”
mean? |
| . |
|
| As an aid to proper placement,
all of our litters are temperament tested at seven weeks of
age |
| by a canine behaviorist. The Puppy Aptitude
Test is an important tool
used in making sure that each puppy goes to the type of home
best suited to its personality and activity level. The various aspects of
the test help determine where each puppy is on the dominance
scale and can provide valuable insight into which training
methods may work best with each individual puppy.
If you’re interested in learning
more about the test, a link to the Puppy Aptitude Test we use
developed by Joachim and Wendy Volhard is provided in the
Training & Behavior section of our Links
Library. |

| I adore
the Jack Russell Terrier, but my lifestyle isn’t conducive to
the stringent requirements of caring for a young puppy. Can you
help? |
| . |
|
| Sounds like one of our retirees
could be just the companion you’re looking for. Being older and more
settled, an adult dog can be excellent company without the
demands of an energetic young puppy. |

Another alternative is to check
with the JRTCA Russell Rescue network where countless Jack
Russells are in need of a place to call home. Unfortunately for the
Jack Russell, recent Hollywood popularity has resulted in many
new owners unfamiliar with the breed abandoning their dogs
after realizing they didn’t purchase “Eddie” or
“Wishbone.” The
JRTCA Russell Rescue network works tirelessly to rectify this
sad situation by arranging for adoptions throughout the
country. |
