“There’s no higher calling for a dog than to be a pet.”

All Ruckerhill litters are whelped and raised in our home with our family. You will find that Ruckerhill puppies are well socialized and very adaptable. Litter training starts by the 3rd week in their whelping pen and by 10 weeks they are comfortable in their crates and with traveling. Ruckerhill litters are wormed and immunized for all possible contacts at every vet recommended interval as if we were going to keep every pup for both Show and Field work. If you are looking to provide a forever home for a best friend pet, or you are searching for just the right working, event, or show companion we will be more than happy to discuss the best possible fit (and each pups temperament test results) with you to best match a pup to your situation. We suggest that before you consider a Jack Russell Terrier you review the Interactive Profiler and see how compatible your lifestyle is to this very smart and active little terrier. If you are interested in a Ruckerhill pup or dog please fill out a copy of the Puppy Application so we can help you select the right dog for your situation.

All Ruckerhill JRTs are adopted with a negotiable contract. One stipulations is; that should you, the owner, be forced to give up a Ruckerhill JRT, we, the breeder, must be notified and allowed 72 hours to recover the JRT before it’s being given to a shelter or rescue organization. We will be here for guidance for you and your dog throughout the dog’s life and are committed to our Jacks – they will always have a safe place to come home to!

For up coming litters and pups up to 6 months old, please check out the Litters page.

On occasion we have dogs available for adoption that have been rescued or have been retired from their show and hunt jobs and are excellent family companions and are wonderful dogs with hopes of having a forever family. These dogs are in need of a home that will provide adequate exercise and regular jobs to do to keep them mentally active, so the rest of their time can be spent enjoying lazy dog days and cuddle curl up nights with you.

Please call for further details.
