Our Standards at
British Grit Jack Russell Terriers

At British Grit, we believe raising Jack Russell Terriers isn’t just about producing puppies — it’s about honoring the breed, protecting its future, and ensuring every family who takes home one of our pups has a companion for life. For more than 40 years, our family has devoted itself to breeding healthy, well-socialized Jack Russells with champion bloodlines imported from England.

Below you’ll find the values and practices that guide everything we do.

✔ Responsible Breeding Practices

We do not cut corners. Every pairing is carefully planned with genetics, temperament, and breed standards in mind. Our goal is not just to produce “cute puppies,” but to preserve the integrity of the Jack Russell Terrier for generations to come.

• Selective pairings with proven bloodlines

• Thoughtful breeding schedule to protect the health of our mothers

• Careful record-keeping and lineage tracking

✔ Health of Breeding Dogs and Puppies

The health of our dogs comes before everything else. Our puppies are born into a clean, safe, and closely monitored environment.

• Veterinary oversight throughout pregnancy and whelping

• Age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming

• Comprehensive health checks before leaving for their new homes

• Lifetime commitment: if a family can’t keep their dog, we always welcome our pups back

✔ Champion Bloodlines Imported from England

British Grit stands apart for our imported English champion bloodlines. For decades, we’ve maintained direct connections with top breeders in the UK to bring authentic working Jack Russell standards to the USA.

• Puppies carry the heritage of proven champions

• Bloodlines prized for conformation, intelligence, and athleticism

• Commitment to maintaining breed type and excellence

✔ Family-Raised Environment and Early Socialization

We raise our puppies as part of the family — never in kennels, never isolated. From the very first day, they’re handled with love and exposed to the sights and sounds of real life.

• Raised in-home with daily human interaction

• Socialized with children, other dogs, and everyday household activity

• Early exposure to crate training and potty training foundations

This foundation sets the stage for a confident, adaptable dog that’s ready to thrive in your home.

✔ Lifetime Support and Buyer Education

When you bring home a British Grit puppy, you don’t just get a dog — you join our extended family.

• Ongoing support for training, feeding, and health questions

• Guidance on Jack Russell temperament and behavior

• Clear policies for deposits, reservations, and care instructions

• Open communication before, during, and long after adoption

Our families know they can always reach out, whether it’s for advice, updates, or simply to share the joy of raising their Jack Russell.
