So what exactly is a Polished Puppy™?
In addition to genetic pre-disposition in regard to temperament - environmental and social experiences also make lasting impressions on a developing puppy. Important stages in a puppies development begins at birth and peaks at eight weeks. From eight to sixteen weeks of age, this window slowly begins to close. By sixteen weeks of age, the experiences, or lack of experiences during this time will shape your Jack Russell Terrier pup for the rest of its life. Over the past decade, we have developed what we call; "The Polished Puppy™ Program" and it is designed to make sure your puppy is all that he can be.
This section of our website goes over our "Polished Puppy Program" in details, outlining all the steps to making certain you get the very best puppy possible. Please read through this section and if you like what you see, a Connemara Terrier may be right for you and your family.
Breeding a litter, whelping, raising & placing pups involves a tremendous amount of staying power, effort, education, money & knowledge of applied science. It is anything but a casual undertaking & the responsibility that comes with it is not taken lightly by us at Connemara.

By the late 1800's, the Connemara Jack Russell Terrier was a mainstay on a small handful of farms across Ireland. This type of Jack Russell terrier developed a following of it's own and a select few enthusiasts made it a lifetime commitment to protect desired attributes, keeping out undesired traits and eventually producing their own type. The results from their efforts yielded a small, manageable terrier that came in three coat lengths, smooth, broken and rough (rough is occasionally referred to as wire, wired or long-haired) was on average 10" tall and clearly longer than tall.
