Toomevara English Jack Russell Terriers

Here at Toomevara, we breed our English Jack Russell Terriers for health and temperament primarily and secondly for conformation.

ENGLISH JACK RUSSELL HEALTH
Our English Jack Russell Terriers are healthy and hearty. We know this because we have run a gauntlet of tests to ensure they are. All of our foundation stock have been tested for 28 known genetic diseases and are clear and DNA profiled. They have been certified by the OFA for their thyroids and patellae. They have had complete blood chemistries and comprehensive panels checked prior to breeding, to assure that both mom and dad are in excellent physical health. They are BAER tested for bilateral hearing. Our English Jack Russell Terriers receive excellent prenatal veterinary care, a healthy nutritious diet and various supplements to ensure that the puppies in the womb are receiving everything they need to maximize their development.

ENGLISH JACK RUSSELL TEMPERAMENT
Temperament is so vitally important in our breeding program. If a potential puppy shows promise in our program, it is crucial that we evaluate that terrier's temperament periodically throughout their youth and extensively with a Comprehensive Personality Profile when the dog is fully mature. This is imperative as, though a dog might be conformationally perfect, we will not breed a dog whose temperament does not meet our high standards. We are not breeding show dogs, and if you are looking for one, then we are not the breeder for you. After all, who wants a gorgeous terrier, structurally perfect, who you cannot train, bounces off the walls and drives you crazy? English Jack Russell Terrier puppies are well known for their excellent trainability and strong bonding with people as well as their tolerance for children of all ages and cats.

ENGLISH JACK RUSSELL CONFORMATION
Lastly, we look at the structure of our English Jack Russell Terriers. We are striving to breed terriers who are slightly longer than tall, meet the standard with regards to length, height and weight with appropriate ear sets, correct coats, with spanable chests and a strong athletic look.

MORAL AND ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR ENGLISH JACK RUSSELLS
We believe that a breeder should be held responsible for lives they bring into this world always. So much of the problem with pet overpopulation globally could be helped if breeders acted responsibly. You will never find one of our English Jack Russell Terrier puppies in a shelter or rescue. We microchip all puppies before they leave our home and require that all puppy families sign a spay/neuter contract, ensuring that the puppy will never be bred. Truth be told, most puppies are not of breeding quality, though they make wonderful pet companions. As well, we require contracts with our families, requiring that the puppy be returned to Toomevara in the event that the family cannot continue to care for the dog at any time, for any reason. We are dedicated to raising a healthy, hearty, properly socialized puppy for you. We are constantly educating ourselves and try to always implement the newest research and testing into our breeding program. Socialization, enrichment, proper nutrition, veterinary care, Bio-Sensor, temperament testing, early training, careful and selective placement and our comprehensive health guarantee  - we do all of this to start your puppy off right and assure you that we take the responsibility of raising puppies very seriously. We will never disappear on you after you receive your English Jack Russell Terrier puppy, like so many irresponsible breeders today.
