I met my first Jack Russel Terrier in 2007 while working at a horse barn, Katy was an awful little dog.
I’d been a dog owner, trainer, and lover my entire life. Growing up with Golden Retrievers, I didn’t have a high opinion of the breed.
Katy was everything I then knew then a JRT to be. She was possessive and guarding of her owner, she was untrained and untrainable, vicious and spiteful. Katy didn’t get along with anyone except her owner. Cats, dogs, horses, boarders, and especially stable hands better steer clear.
In 2014, I met and worked with another pair of JRTs who were far from Katys. Despite being told by their owner (a lifelong JRT owner herself) that I was obviously a JRT person, it took a little more convincing.
By 2016 I’d met my (now former) partner who happened to come along with his own JRT, and well sometimes the universe must be trying to tell you something…
I adored Rupert, more than his owner at times.
Through the wonderful community that surrounds these little dogs was introduced to rat sports, and then along came my homebred puppy Piper (Rupert x Rush Jessies’ Girl).
In 2021 Piper had her first litter with Greeneaster Monkey, which included Poppy as the lone female from the litter.
By 2023 I had split with Rupert’s owner. He took my Piper.
Thankfully Poppy’s owner contacted me through my lifetime take back policy.
Shortly after that, Kim (Greeneaster Farm) got a hold of me about some other JRT relatives that needed a new home because of breeder retirement.
So that’s how What’s One More Kennel was started.
After all, What’s One More?
Cherry, Poppy, & Truffle have ingrained in me why I love these little dogs.
They are as challenging as they are wonderful. They are playful, and intelligent, sensitive and tough, hardworking and stubborn.
And every day I wake up excited to work with the little shitheads.
I am committed to my position that Jack Russell Terriers are a landrace breed and need to be bred for health and to work first and foremost.
My dogs are bred for farm work. This includes tenacity, desire to work, stamina, and natural ability. As well as being great family pets who love nothing more than to snuggle in a lap, curl up by a fire, or to play quietly with a kid.
I am committed to the genetic diversification and long term survival of the Jack Russell Terrier breed.
