Michelle at Nationals with Digger.

My name is Michelle Ward.  I have been working, showing, and breeding these great little dogs for about 14  years now.  During this time, my Little Eden terriers have become well known for their working ability and accomplishments in the show ring.  I am a member of, and my kennel name is registered with, the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America (JRTCA).  I am also a member of the Jack Russell Terrier Club of Canada (JTRCC).

We take the responsibility of breeding very seriously at Little Eden.  Any terrier entering our breeding program has been carefully selected for natural working ability, correct conformation, and steady temperament.

They must have proven these attributes in the hunt field, in the show ring, and in our home.  In addition, all of our terriers are BAER tested for normal hearing and CERF tested annually to rule out eye problems.
We like an elegant, athletic terrier that is naturally flexible, keen enough to do his job, yet easy going enough to live with.  These qualities, which make this terrier so adept at earthwork, also help make it incredibly versatile and capable of many different activities.  Little Eden bred terriers, owned by us and others, can be found throughout North America excelling in Natural Earthwork, Conformation, Agility, Flyball, and Obedience.

Jack, my “better half,” has often been described as “the perfect terrier husband.”  Although not actively involved in the working, showing, and breeding of the terriers, Jack has always been very supportive of my “doggie endeavors.”  He frequently takes his vacation days around my trial schedule, happily staying home to mind the kids and the

dogs left behind. He is the chief fence builder, kennel fixer, and many can attest to the great hot meals he has ready when we come home after a long day out in the hunt field.

Our boys, David and Kevin, are also a great support to me with all the work associated with caring for and living with multiple dogs.  They help with the evening chores, keep the puppies entertained and out of mischief, and exercise the adults out in the woods.

Awards

Without the combined efforts of my family, Little Eden terriers wouldn’t be what they are today. We are all proud of their many accomplishments and each of us in our own way contributes to their success.

We’re located northeast of Buffalo, NY, about 25 miles north of Interstate 90. We welcome

meeting all Jack Russell enthusiasts and invite you to join us doing what we enjoy most—field work!  We are lucky to have an abundance of legal quarry right outside our back door.  When the mood strikes, I can strap on a collar, pick up a shovel, and “go for a walk.”  So if you’re ever in our neck of the woods, give us a call and maybe you can drop by and take a “walk” with us.  Or perhaps we’ll meet up at a JRTCA or JRTCC Sanctioned Trial held on the East coast or southern Ontario, where you can find us competing most of the season.
