Over 40 years of passion and pedigree behind every British Grit Jack Russell.
HOME / About Us
We Are Celebrating 40 Years Of JRT Joy!
Welcome to British Grit Jack Russell Terriers, where passion, dedication, and over 40 years of experience come together to raise exceptional Jack Russell Terriers. We are a small, family-run kennel based in Northern California, proudly serving families all across the USA. Our focus is on breeding family-raised Jack Russell puppies with champion bloodlines, wonderful temperaments, and classic Jack Russell charm.
Our journey started decades ago with a simple love for the breed and a vision: to share these loyal, intelligent companions with families who would cherish them as much as we do. Today, that same passion drives everything we do — from carefully selecting our breeding pairs, to providing lifelong support for the families who welcome our puppies into their homes.
When you choose a British Grit Jack Russell puppy, you’re choosing more than a dog — you’re choosing a companion raised with purpose, care, and respect for the breed’s heritage. Every puppy is nurtured in a loving environment, well-socialized, and prepared for a happy, healthy life with their forever family.
✅ Registered with integrity: All of our Jack Russells are registered with either the JRTCA (Jack Russell Terrier Club of America) or JRTCGB (Jack Russell Terrier Club of Great Britain), depending on their origins. Our puppies are eligible for registration once they reach a year of age.
✅ Rooted in tradition: Our dogs’ pedigrees trace back to respected English bloodlines, with a focus on conformation, health, and temperament.
Your search for a high-quality Jack Russell Terrier breeder in the USA ends here. Explore our nursery, meet our dogs, and see for yourself why British Grit Jack Russells are trusted by families from coast to coast.

British Grit Winston
"He is 3 years old today Enjoying life!"
Winston is one of our proud British Grit pups — a tan-colored, rough coat Jack Russell with a heart as big as his personality. Raised with love and purpose, Winston has blossomed into a happy, social companion who now serves as a trained care dog.

British Grit Popeye & Olive Oyl
"Popeye is so much like her! Both jacks are so wonderful but Popeye talks to you.
He is so smart and has so much character! He really should be in movies because his eyes have so much love and life! I am so glad we took Olive Oyl because they are inseparable and entertain each other. Spirit sure made some good puppies!"

British Grit Sassafras
"On the way home, we picked up a bag of the Taste of the Wild puppy food you mentioned. Once we got home, Sassafras ate dinner and played for a bit, then got sleepy and didn’t wake up again until the morning.
We had some good long play sessions and a few naps today, and now she’s all worn out and sleeping."
