Available & Planned

* COVID-19 *

Because our kennel is a part of our home, we have taken measures to help protect our family and yours by suspending all visits to our kennel for the foreseeable future. When puppies become available, we will practice social distancing and wear face masks during all visits. Masks will be required at all times while onsite. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and wish everyone good health and happiness in the weeks and months to come!

Stay safe and healthy!

2021

Our focus in 2021 will be to produce a pup or two from our seasoned breeding stock. As many are nearing retirement from breeding, our desire is to enhance our program with a young pup or two while transitioning several of our Legacy terriers into retirement. Our main focus will be Leonardo's pedigree and progeny.

Available Adults

Because we give our terriers a lot of individual attention, we must limit the number of terriers on the premises at any given time. Adult terriers occasionally become available so that we may keep an up and coming terrier. Some of these adults may be suitable for breeding or showing or for the best life as a cherished pet.

*** We currently have an opportunity or two to co-own one of our terriers. They will be kept intact so that we may utilize them at a later date, but otherwise will be a member of your family in every way. If you interested in providing a guardian home for one of our crew, please contact us for details! ***

We take the responsibility of breeding very seriously at Shavano Creek. Any terrier entering our program has been carefully selected for natural working ability, correct conformation, temperament, and DNA health. We gravitate towards an elegant and athletic terrier who is naturally flexible, correct and compact, focused and energetic, yet pleasant to live with. Shavano Creek Jack Russells can be found in show and pet homes throughout North America.

At Shavano Creek, the health of every terrier is very important to us. Each of our terriers is current and up to date on all required vaccinations and are regularly seen by our local vet for wellness checks. All canine parents have been BAER (hearing) & CERF (eyes) tested normal. They have also been DNA tested normal for PLL, SCA, LOA, and DM to ensure healthy parents and offspring. Our entire crew is clear of all genetic testing at this time.

WHAT TO EXPECT :

Our puppies will come home with a four generation pedigree, stud certificate and health record. Pups will have had their first vaccinations, will have a microchip, and will have been started on heartworm prevention. Puppies are trained to use a litter box and/or paper/pad, will be started in a crate, and may have even taken a ride in the car. We socialize our pups from birth and work with many sensory methods to ensure a well rounded puppy. Our goal is to make the transition from our home to yours as stress free as possible!

RESERVATION POLICY:

Shavano Creek puppies are often sold by reservation before they are born and we frequently have a waiting list. If you would like to reserve a place on our waiting list please contact us for an application. To reserve a place on our DEPOSIT reservation list, we require a $400 deposit that is applied towards the price of the pup. Our deposit list closes after 2 families per litter. If we have additional puppies available, we will contact our waitlist families in the order they were received. Puppies go home for $2000 depending on the litter and/or other terms. Please contact us for details. Shavano Creek does not breed for profit. We breed to produce top quality, health tested, performance minded puppies with excellent temperaments so that we may retain a pup or two for our kennel. We research pedigrees extensively in order to produce excellent quality terriers and to better advance the breed. Families may also benefit from our breedings by retaining an exceptional pup from these same litters.

Puppies are sold with a spay/neuter contract unless other arrangements have been made. Please contact us for more specifics. Puppies are old enough to go to their forever homes at 9-14 weeks of age depending on the puppy and litter. Please note, we do not ship puppies, but will be happy to meet you at either our local airport or an airport near you. Travel expenses are your responsibility with either option.

Terriers are sold to approved homes only. Our primary objective is to place each terrier in a well matched home. The terrier that has your preferred coloring may not have the perfect temperament for your home. We work diligently to suggest terriers that will compliment their new family and living situation as best possible. This means we select for temperament first with color and coat only as a secondary consideration. We also screen potential buyers for a thorough understanding of this breed’s working characteristics, intellectual needs, tolerance of children, and boundless exercise requirements. A suitably fenced yard is a must! Please keep in mind that Shavano Creek JRT always has the right of first refusal on every puppy, and that may be the pup you have your eye on! We know it is difficult, but please try not to fall in love until our own selection process is complete. As we believe this will be a lifelong commitment for everyone involved, we work very hard with each pup and family to ensure each terrier is placed in the best home possible for your family and puppy!

BEFORE PLACING A DEPOSIT

We would love for you to have a puppy from our kennel. We would also like you to take the time to research Jack Russell Terriers to ensure that not only is this the right breed for you, but that we are also the right breeder as well. A good place to start your research is the JRTCA website. Here is a link to the JRTCA PROFILER to help provide recommendations on how compatible a Jack Russell Terrier might be for your household. This website provides a wealth of information on the Jack Russell Terrier. If you are not sure that you want a terrier at this time or you have any reservations at all - please do not place a deposit. Please wait until the time is right for you and your family.

Your deposit is non-refundable as soon as it is placed. If you put down a deposit and then change your mind, your deposit is not refundable. We may also move your deposit to a later litter as long as you stay in touch. Staying in touch means sending us a note or call every six months or so to keep us updated. After a year of no contact, your deposit will be forfeited.

Although we make every effort to match the right puppy with the right home, we understand that sometimes life events that are beyond one’s control can interfere with even the most perfect of matches. Consequently, we will take back our terriers at any time during their life.

If you have a serious inquiry about available pups, adults, or planned breedings and we have not yet answered your email or call, please keep trying! Email is always best as we have
limited cell coverage here in the Basin and we simply do not get all of our messages.
Our busy life on the farm may also delay our response time to our many inquiries. Please be patient and try us again as as we are more than happy to answer all your questions and concerns.
We will do our best to get back to you in a timely manner.

We welcome visits to meet our Shavano Creek family of JRTs by appointment only.
Please Contact Jon & Ellie Thompson at ShavanoCreekColorado@gmail.com

We look forward to hearing from you!
