Rancho Rivera Russell Terriers

Since January of 2001, the United Kennel Club viewed the 10-12 inch Jack Russell Terrier as a "Russell Terrier," and pets registered during that time were considered "Russell Terriers."  However, since Ireland, England and Australia see the shorter dog as a "Jack Russell Terrier," and since in those countries the longer-legged dogs are known as "Parson Russell Terriers," as of January 2009, the UKC now sees the 10-12 inch dogs as "Jack Russell Terriers."

HOW CONFUSING IS THAT!  Did you get that?  Bottom line, our Russell Terriers are now Jack Russell Terriers . . . again . . . through the United Kennel Club (UKC.)

Now, keep in mind that  the 10-12 inch dog has been recorded in the Foundation Stock Service of the American Kennel Club (AKC) since October 2005 as a "Russell Terrier."  The AKC sees the 13-14 inch dogs as "Parson Russell Terriers."

Long story short (no pun intended) if you purchase a true "Russell Terrier" that is double-registered with both the AKC-Foundation Stock Service and the UKC, your puppy will be both a "Jack Russell Terrier" (from the UKC’s perspective) and a "Russell Terrier" (from AKC’s perspective.)  Nevertheless, he will still be the same sweet, lovable, athletic dog!  And these precious dogs have won our hearts.

I really enjoy Angel and Scout’s puppies, their uniqueness, and their beauty.  For example, Bauer is a smooth-coat, with soft short fur that is nice to run your hands through.

Cinnamon is a rough coat that is long and yet has the perfect standard of a rough-coat Russell Terrier that says, "the outer coat should not be so long as to obscure the outline of the dog."  (taken from the United Jack Russell Terrier Council of America’s breed standard).

 Scout was made to run, and he loves to leap through the air!

We are very aware of the effects of negative media on the children of our society today.  Multiple studies have shown that as the violence in media increases, so does the real-world violence committed by minors.  We at Rancho Rivera Russell Terriers are committed to help reverse that trend.  To that end, we are  EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE that it has partnered with Reaching the Globe Film Studios to produce it’s first film short entitled:

"Adventurous Tails:  SUGAR"

In this film short, Sugar, a Russell Terrier, is devastated when her mother, Grace, gets kidnapped.  While trying to save her, she learns about honoring her mother and having a thankful attitude — a wonderful way to teach children moral values, while they enjoy these spunky little dogs!   It’s a film you and your children will want to watch again and again!

Raquel and Scout love doing Agility together.  What is agility you ask?  It is a fun sport where you train your dog to run an obstacle course with skill and speed.  Scout is just a natural at this!

Scout thinks he was born doing agilty!  And every time we get in the car, he jumps in eager to go with us!

"Mama, are we going to agility today?  Can I come with you?"

Scout says, "I sure had fun today!"

Rancho Rivera is pleased to announce that our studs have been DNA Profiled by the American Kennel Club.
