Rancho Rivera Russell Terriers

Marshmallow — now Lucy — lives in New York with a happy young girl, Naomi.

This video is of Scout and Angel’s litter at 8 1/2 weeks old.  They are friendly, cuddly puppies that love to run and play!

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!"

We have a video for Angel and Scout’s litter.  Please note that it was filmed in part when the puppies were 4 weeks and then at 5 1/2 weeks.  They are just getting more and more fun every day!

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

This is a video of a previous litter of Texas Ranger and Ginger. These puppies are so adorable, we felt that pictures just didn’t do them justice. Watch the parents play with their puppies! (By the way, Angel, our rough-coat, also got in the fun. Rudy, our rescue half-Labrador half-Red-Heeler, is in the video for just a glimpse.) Please keep in mind while watching this video that the professional camera is very close for you to get detail of the puppies; therefore, they all appear to be very large, but in fact the puppies weigh on average 2.5 lbs. That’s small! Ranger only weighs 12 lbs.

There’s nothing more I love seeing, than watching the older dogs interacting with the puppies.  Here, Texas Ranger (Ranger for short) is lying down to be at the same level as the puppies.

Then he rolls on his back to show the puppies that he will be gentle with them.

He lets them jump all around him and over him!

“H E L P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  MY BABIES ARE ATTACKING ME!”

What a good Papa.
