JUGS (JACK X PUG)

NEXT LITTER DUE IN AROUND JUNE 2010

These are absolutely gorgeous. really outgoing yet loyal and loving dogs. They are smaller than a Jack Russell and have very short smooth coats. Their tails curl and they have a flatter face than a Jack, but without the breating problems of the Pug. We use a very well bred small black pug dog crossed with our Jack Ruseell bitches to produce them and they are truly wonderful.

These are full sister to our bitch "Trixie" pictured above and full siblings to the pups pictured above.

THE JACK RUSSELL BREED CHARACTERISTICS

CHARACTERISTICS. The terrier must have a lively, active and alert appearance. It should impress with its fearless and happy disposition. It should be remembered that the Jack Russell is a working terrier and should retain these instincts. Nervousness, cowardice and over-aggression should be discouraged, and it should always appear confident.

GENERAL APPEARANCE. A sturdy, tough terrier, very much on its toes all the time, measuring between 10" and 15" at the withers. The body length must be in proportion to the height, and it should present a compact, balanced image, always being in solid, hard condition.

HEAD. Should be well balanced and in proportion to the body. The skull should be flat, of moderate width at the ears, narrowing to the eyes. There should be a defined stop but not over-pronounced. The length of muzzle from the nose to the stop should be slightly shorter than the distance from the stop to the occiput. The nose should be black. The jaw should be powerful and well boned with strongly muscled cheeks.

EYES. Should be almond shaped, dark in colour and full of life and intelligence.

EARS. Small “V” shaped drop ears carried forward close to the head and of moderate thickness.

MOUTH. Strong teeth with the top slightly overlapping the lower.

NECK. Clean and muscular, of good length, gradually widening at the shoulders.

FOREQUARTERS. The shoulders should be sloping and well laid back, fine at points and clearly cut at the withers. Forelegs should be strong and straight boned with joints in correct alignment. Elbows hanging perpendicular to the body and working free of the sides.

BODY. The chest should be shallow, narrow and the front legs set not too widely apart, giving an athletic, rather than heavily chested appearance. As a guide only, the chest should be small enough to be easily spanned behind the shoulders, by average hands, when the terrier is in a fit, working condition. The back should be strong, straight and, in comparison to the height of the terrier, give a balanced image. The loin should be slightly arched.

HINDQUARTERS. Should be strong and muscular, well put together with good angulations and hand of stifle, giving plenty of drive and propulsion. Looking from behind, the hocks must be straight.

FEET. Round, hard-padded, of cat-like appearance, neither turning in nor out.

TAIL. Should be set rather high, carried gaily and in proportion to body length, usually about four inches long, providing a good hand-hold.

COAT. Smooth, without being so sparse as not to provide a certain amount of protection from the elements and undergrowth. Rough or broken coated, without being woolly.

COLOUR. White should predominate with tan, black, or brown markings. Brindle markings are unacceptable.

GAIT. Movement should be free, lively, well co-ordinated with straight action in front and behind.

PLEASE SEE THE NEW TAIL DOCKING LEGISLATION BELOW: Due to this we have opted to so far not dock the tails of our pups to enable the pup and owner to have the freedom they both deserve and keep costs for everyone to a minimum. This is not our voice of opinion on the matter - but unless laws are changed back, it seems the best option for all!! we hope this is understood - many thanks

NEW TAIL DOCKING LEGISLATION
(Animal Welfare Act 2006)

The law regarding the docking of dogs’ tails changed in Wales on 28th March 2007, in England on 6th April 2007 and in Scotland on 30th April 2007.  Any changes to animal welfare legislation in Northern Ireland are at the consultation stage.

Apart from the fact that the legislation comes into effect slightly earlier in Wales, the law will be broadly similar for both England and Wales. Except for the very important fact that in Wales the terrier exemption only applies to the following breeds - Jack Russell, Lakeland, Cairn and Norfolk (not combinations), whereas in England it applies to terriers of any type or combination of types

Further, despite the exemptions for working dogs in England and Wales, there is no such exemption in Scotland, and it will also be an offence to transport puppies from Scotland so that they may be docked elsewhere.

These new laws will affect exhibitors, show organisers and breeders in different ways in each of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. A certain amount of interpretation of the law which will only be made clear if it is tested in Court, however based upon the information currently available, we have attempted to clarify the complexities of the new law as far as possible. Broadly speaking these are:WORKING TERRIER SHOWS:

a) Dogs Docked Before the Relevant Dates: These can continue to be shown at all shows in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland throughout their life. 

b) Dogs Docked on or After the Relevant Dates: Irrespective of where they were docked, may not be exhibited at shows in England and Wales “where the public is admitted on payment of a fee” except to demonstrate their working ability. 

If they were docked legally either in England, Wales, Northern Ireland or abroad they may be shown at any show in Scotland or Northern Ireland - but in England and Wales they may only be shown at shows where the public is admitted without the payment of a fee.

The law in Scotland is different from that in England and Wales, since there is a total ban on docking in Scotland but, as yet, no ban on the showing of legally docked dogs there.  So if you have a legally docked dog you may show it at any show in Scotland – whether or not the show charges the public for entry.

c) Show Format and Schedules: Those who organise or exhibit at shows in England or Wales which also have a paying gate, should take into account the fact that it will be illegal for ANY dog docked after the relevant dates, to be exhibited at such events. Even if the dog has been docked legally under the Act or legally docked elsewhere. 

If it is decided to continue to charge an admission fee to the public, puppy classes will quickly need to disappear and we would also recommend for everyone’s benefit the inclusion of a statement in the show schedule that “Due to the Animal Welfare Act 2006, any dogs docked on or after <insert relevant date for England or Wales> may not be entered for exhibition at this show”.

 TAIL DOCKING – WORKING DOG EXEMPTIONS:

The new laws also prohibit the docking of dogs’ tails in England, Wales and Scotland. In England and Wales there are certain limited (but differing) exemptions for specified types of working dogs, these will require appropriate certification and subsequent microchipping for identification purposes.

Certification requirements:

  or in Wales he is satisfied that the puppy is one of the following breeds;

All docking and microchipping must be carried out by a veterinary surgeon, but not necessarily the same one.  Once again it would appear that this present Government have succeeded in forcing onto the Statute Books yet another piece of legislation designed to interfere with our personal freedom and our ability to make decisions for ourselves. In keeping with much of their efforts to date, it would also appear to be at the very best “something of a mess”.  Hopefully each of you that care about such matters will take the opportunity to make your feelings known at the ballot box when that time comes.
