Welcome to Kimberlite Jack Russell Terriers
Our life with Jack Russells began in the early 1990's,
one summer for our Anniversary we gave each other our first Jack Russell
Terrier, Inja. She came to us from Southern California at 3 months old, she
arrived and proceeded to climb over the puppy divider and she explored the
house! Our Lab was not so sure that it was a good idea, and spent the rest of
her life helping us "train" Inja. We thought what a smart, athletic little
girl, and that she was...she was everything we thought she would be and more.
She had a passion for playing frisbee or ball and her natural instinct for
hunting was incredible to observe. She could trail her prey tirelessly for
hours on end! She could clean out a barn in no time and loved it. We
took her everywhere with us. She rode in the car, went to work, and worked as
a Therapy Dog, rode on the horses, ran on the trail with us and Jesse our Lab
and kept up with the horses, she took us to our first trial, where she amazed us
with her natural abilities. And she showed us how much we needed to learn
Inja of Kimberlite
She brought us to our first JRTCA trial..We entered everything..She tried
GTG and ran through the tunnels like a banshee, from the beginning tunnel, she
moved right up to the Championship Tunnel where she decided to stay and cool her
heels and won our hearts all over again. She took me to my first Agility trial,
my first Flyball Tourniment, we competed in Obedience (just like all my other
"big dogs" had ) and won many Championships over the years! Towards the end she
and I entered and won a Championship in Rally without ever taking a class. I
miss her every day, and thank her and her son Kimberlite Livingston , and
daughter Kimberlite Bonney for bringing us so much joy and bringing so many
wonderful people into our lives. Our Jack Russell family has grown over the years, and most of them trace back to one of these three wonderful terriers.

Inja Livingston and Bonney play ball
Like so many people who are interested in being owned by a Jack Russell terrier, we had searched for Inja for a over a year, looking as many people do when they start their search, for a particular "look" . We both had known several Jack Russells that had endeared themselves to us in our lives before any joined our family. At the Equestrian center we had know Hoppy, the best friend of our Labrador Retriever, everyone seemed to know him...Barry had family members and friends that had terriers as he grew up. Particularly memorable was Biscuit a shortie Russell that had lost an eye falling off a hay truck, who could jump and catch a ball 5 feet in the air, smiling the whole time.
Elliott & Standley hiking
Jack Russells are very smart dogs, they can be a lot of fun to be
around and play with, keep in mind that they are quite energetic and need to
"work" to occupy their bodies and their minds. We play ball, stick, kong,Frisbee, do Agility, Practice Flyball, Obedience, lure course, race, do Go to Ground, take long hikes, ride with the horses, and they still have energy! We absolutely love them for the
lovely dogs and the"terrors " they can be.
Our Jack Russells are our beloved pals, on occasion should Adults become available, they will be
discriminately offered to pre-approved homes only.

their path towards being good companions . We start potty training, and feeding

Pedigree indicates what the animal should be.
Conformation indicates what the animal appears to be.
But performance indicates what the animal actually is.
