Welcome to Kimberlite Jack Russell Terriers
We love all our dogs, Yes we have puppies who have arrived !! and are very excited about that (See our puppy page) If a puppy sounds a bit overwhelming we are open to placing one of our adults into a spoiling forever home , so ask us. ( and see our available Adult Jack Russell page) We want all our terriers to continue to be spoiled for the rest of their lives. Sometimes there comes time for us to let one of our terriers go to live with a new family , it tears at our hearts ,even more than letting our puppies go, but we know there are people out there that will enjoy our jacks , and love them, maybe even more than we do !! One of the HUGE drawbacks of breeding quality well loved and cared for Jack Russell terriers is that we have dogs we love dearly that we need to let go, in order to allow time to train and develop new dogs for our trial , hunting and breeding program ,without taking time away from them.

Now to tell you a bit about us ....
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 then explored the whole 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 any game, tug, 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, became an Obedience Champion, and worked as a Therapy Dog, was my first Agility 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 belonged to Barry's cousin 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. His disability did not slow him down at all !!
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, we play scent games and trialing and locationg , we play hide and seek with stuffed Kongs, Frisbee, we do Agility, Practice Flyball, Obedience, lure course, race, do Go to Ground, take long hikes, we used to ride with the horses, now long hikes , 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. We have no kennel, Our dogs all live in our home
We have some adults AVAILABLE now PLEASE ask about who might fit into your life and sleep in your arms

We spend a great deal of time with our puppies, we expose them to many different
enviroments, people (including children), dogs, and other animals. They are started in
their path towards being good companions . We start potty training, and feeding
schedules, We begin their familiarity with collars, leashes, following, waiting, sitting as they develop their brains and personalities. Our involvement with our pups doesn't end with the sale, we will be available to you, to answer questions (no question is too silly) , offer suggestions and to help make your experience with your puppy and dog a successful one. We feel so strongly about our commitment,that if at any time you find you are unable to keep your terrier, we require you contact us FIRST, BEFORE you seek other placement options.
We will assist you in finding an appropriate home or we will accept him/her back into our home.
