Joy

is 19 years old!

This is "Joy". She is currently our oldest known living Connemara Terrier. Here are a few words from her "Daddy". Joy is my sweet little angel that came to me when I really needed her in life. She and I have been through so much together. Joy loves to frolic around the yard snatching up dandelion greens and grasshoppers. She has never been your typical Jack Russell terrier. She has always been calm, sweet, incredibly maternal and loving. She has had zero health issues through her current age. Other than recent hip stiffness, she still runs and jumps! - Michael in Maine. Sadly, Joy recently passed away at 19 1/2yo.

Jack Russell History

WHY ALL THE DIFFERENT NAMES AND TERMS FOR THE JACK RUSSELL TERRIER?

The short explanation is that the Jack Russell Terrier 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 (12-15") and the shorter version (typically 9-10"-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 Terrier puppies. 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 breeding and socialization program the breeder practices.
