We're accepting reservations for the planned litters in the summer/fall of 2008.
We are retiring Molly, Grace and Clue this summer. Please see below or the planned litters page for more info on them.
You can see parent's pictures on the Planned Litters page.
Our puppies are usually sold by advance reservations. We occasionally have extra puppies like we do now, which is a wonderful surprise. We are now accepting reservations for planned litters in the future. If you would like more information please call or email me, Donna Fitzpatrick.
As sometimes it may be a six month to a year waiting time for a puppy from a certain pair of prospective parents, we encourage you to take the first step. Please send us your answers to the 10 questions on our questionnaire on the reservations page.
That is the first step, for your personal telephone interview, for us to start talking. If you'd like to email your answers in we can also do that. After becoming approved, then folks are eligible to send in a reservation deposit. The next step is going on the priority list for a specific set of parents, or a specific time line that is convenient for you.
Step 1: view the available pups or adults on the planned litters page. Once we have a telephone chat we will send you photos of the available puppies.
Step 2: call or email your answers to our questionnaire. Once approved by phone or email then you may move to step 3.
Step 3: Place your reservation deposit to hold a puppy for you. All deposits go towards the price of the puppy, of course. We will then send you all the photos of all our available pups. You may do this on the Reserving a puppy page.

Available Adults: Molly, Grace and Clue will be retiring this summer or fall. They will be spayed and range from 3 to 8 yrs old. All will make wonderful family and house dogs who need their people to be cuddle bugs and snugglers.
The more dogs you own, the more limited is the time available for each individual dog. It is hard to let a dog go that you have raised and love dearly, but it would be selfish to keep them all. They deserve to have a family of their own that can provide them with all the family's undivided attention. Any available adults have been or will be spayed or neutered, are up to date on vaccinations, are on heartworm prevention, and have an AVID microchip. Please email me with your answers to our reservation questionnaire, your family lifestyle, environment and what you can offer one of these great dogs. I will be glad to answer any of your questions. It is more important for us to find our dogs a good home than it is for us to just find them a home. They can all retire here on the farm, but they do get bored in retirement, as they are only 5 -6 years old. They should live another 15 - 20 years with good natural dog foods.
Please go to the Reservations page to fill out our questionnaire to apply for a reservation spot and then call or email us to let us know you are interested and we can start at these talking points.
You can see pictures of Rocky, Beau, Little Ernie, and Katie on the Our JRT Clan page or the Planned litter page.
Please see our 'Planned litters' page for upcoming matches.
Please visit our 'Past litters' page to see the quality of our puppies.
One of the differences in pedigrees is that when you have long, proven histories of many generations of the same line of dogs, you are able to see a consistency in quality in the puppies these dogs produce. It is over a long period of time that breeders have protected these lines and are dedicated to keeping them pure and undiluted to ensure the quality for generations to come.
When you establish new bloodlines you have done years of extensive homework and research in digging into the family histories of the dog's grandparents, great and great-great grandparents and research the family environments these dogs were also raised in. Genetics plays the largest part in about 40%, nutrition plays 30% and environment plays 30% of what makes up a good dog and how that dog develops. How that dog is raised as a puppy will determine how he acts as an adult dog and what he teaches his offspring for accepted behavior.
