Rivermont Russells
Ashley Godwin has been in love with Jack Russell Terrier's since she purchased her first little 9" tall female, Jamie, when she was only 15 years old in 1991. She purchased Jamie from her vet, then began the hobby/passion of raising short legged Jack Russell Terrier's. (See throwback photo below) As her dogs aged she took a break from raising JRT's, but for Christmas 2016 she received Rivermont Angel as a gift from Vince with the plans of raising shorties again.
As you can see we are a very small breeder. They are a part of our family. Our puppies are whelped in our home and stay in the house until they are big enough to move to the kennels in our barn. They are very well socialized. All of our dogs have top quality pedigrees of only the finest shorty Jack Russell's. We have a certain look we are striving for, but "pretty is as pretty does", so we are most importantly striving to breed for not only the perfect looking JRT, but dogs with exceptional demeanors and health as well. After all, this dog is going to be a member of your family for many, many years. All of our dogs (and puppies) are on a strict vaccine and de-worming program for optimal health. Our nursing mom’s receive a quality puppy food along with nutritional supplements and salmon oil to insure the pups are receiving the best milk possible. We are a firm believer in quality nutrition with our dogs and our horses.
Our dogs and puppies come in and out of the house and play all day in our very large fenced back yard. (Our farm is 20 acres) Jack Russell's do best when they have room to run, so we don't recommend them if you can not provide good exercise for them. They are brilliant, fun little dogs though that will bring much joy to your world! Each puppy will visit our vet at 8 weeks for a full physical exam and receive their second set of vaccines, another round of dewormer, a microchip and a health certificate.

Our dogs are a part of our family and are either in the house or in our gigantic fenced back yard where they are allowed to romp and play! We love the puppies and watching them become a blessing to their new homes. All of our dogs stay on a heart worm, flea prevention and regular vaccination program. Our puppies are all on a very strict deworming program beginning at 2 weeks of age and continue until it’s time for them to head to their new homes.
All of our dogs are health tested and PLL and SCA clear.
