Welcome to Connemara Terriers
QUICK LINK TO: JACK RUSSELL TERRIER PUPPIESMost people will spend more time and effort researching a new car that they will probably only have for 4 years - Than researching breeders for a puppy they will have for 14 or more years. Please pause and think a bit more about where you will get your new puppy. Scour websites, talk to and visit several breeders. Then make an informed decision. We hope you find something within our site that leaves you feeling better educated and helps you find the best breeder for your next puppy.
For well over a century, the Connemara Jack Russell Terrier has been bred by a small handful of dedicated terriermen and shared only amongst friends and family members. You won't find them in local newspapers or sold to american brokers importing from irish puppy farms for resale. Only a very select few are still raising them today and remain dedicated to continuing the line as it has been kept since the late 1800's.
Please visit our website in more depth and you will begin to understand why we believe the Connemara Terrier is special. Live with one and you will most certainly appreciate everything they are - and are not.
If you have never owned a Terrier before, or more importantly; lack a sense of humor, select something other than a Jack Russell - Or any terrier for that matter. They tend to be little clowns
A Connemara (Irish) Jack Russell Terrier will enrich your life, and it is hard to stop at just one. Many of our families have several. Owning a Jack Russell can be a wonderful experience; With your dedicated, loyal and affectionate companion at your side, you'll never sleep, eat, or travel alone again.

Anticipate the best, spend a little more, and save in vet bills. Connemara's are the best-of-the-best, inside and out. They have a personality/temperament anyone would be glad to have around. Our starting point is with genetics and temperament then type and structure. This keeps us busy building the best dogs possible. Parents have been through extensive genetic testing and are OFFA certified clear in areas such as Patellas and PLL.
Our best compliments come from no one here, but from repeat families. People that have enjoyed the first one so much, they are back for another, or they insist their friends have a Connemara too. We are proud to be different from other breeders and proud of the reputation that we stand by each and every puppy that leaves our home.
For those that live too far or are unable to visit, visit here to see where we live with our short legged friends. Remember that nothing can compare to visiting in person... so you can see how the dogs are cared for and react to people. Many make claims on the internet to make you feel “warm and fuzzy” about where your pup comes from, yet the truth is far from the reality their dogs live. If at all possible, it is a good idea to visit any place you are considering when looking for a pup.
We have a limited number of Irish Jack Russell Puppies for sale. We are breeders of Jack Russell Terriers that are also known as: Shorties, Jack Russell Shorty, English Jack Russell Terriers, Irish and sometimes known simply just as Russells. While our puppies happen to be from an old Irish line, the breed did originate in England and credit should be given. As well, they are also short-legged, and stand 10" tall on average. Our Jacks are what most would consider Shorty Jack Russells or Shorties, but they are not Puddin Jacks. We currently have Irish Jack Russell Terrier puppies for sale. Puppies to approved homes only.
YOU MAY BE WONDERING: WHY ALL THE DIFFERENT NAMES AND TERMS FOR THE JACK RUSSELL TERRIER?
The shortest explanation is that the Jack Russell was never actually considered a breed until the last decade. There have been many different names used to differentiate between the taller version usually ranging from (12-16") and the shorter version (typically 9"-12"). The shorter Jack Russell Terriers are known by many names like: Shorty Jack Russells, Short legged Jack Russells, Shorties, English Jack Russell Terriers, Russell Terriers, Irish Jack Russell Terriers, Miniature Jack Russell and of course, simply Jack Russell Terriers. While there are some differences in the Jack Russell Terrier world, what matters most, is not what type/size/style of Jack Russell you are considering - But rather the health and genetics behind the line and the breeder and socialization program the breeder practices.
