Trinity Farms Kennel
We are dedicated to making your decision to bring a Jack Russell into your home a happy experience that your whole family can enjoy for a very long time. For the entire life of your JRT we will be available to answer any questions that you may have about your puppy and be a resource to you. We will gladly guarantee that any puppy you purchase from us will be in good health. Our pups are usually seen by a vet on the day they are born, again 3 to 5 days later, and will have visited the vet once, if not twice more, for their first annual exam, shots, worming and first flea treatment before they leave our home. We usually also microchip all our dogs. If you would prefer that be done before picking up your puppy we could have that done too.
We do ask that you verify the good health of your puppy within 3-5 days after receiving your puppy. Should your puppy suffer from any health problem within 2 to 3 days after delivery, we will refund the purchase price or replace your puppy, upon certification by a veterinarian that the puppy was examined within 48 - 72 hours of delivery and suffers from a problem.
It is my recommendation that new owners have their puppies examined by their own veterinarian as soon as possible. This is a good opportunity to set up a continuing preventative health program and microchip and record your puppy's AVID microchip number with them. It is the new owner's responsibility to obtain the remaining vaccine boosters, rabies vaccination, heartworm preventative, deworming, intestinal parasite check, flea preventative, etc. I cannot be held responsible for problems relating to new owner's lack of supervision, negligence or situations out of my control once they leave our home (such as trauma, theft, infectious diseases picked up along the way or any obesity related disease, etc.).
My puppies are guaranteed for 14 days after purchase to be free of infectious diseases. After that amount of time, any illness would not have been obtained at my kennel. They are also warranteed for lifetime against any hereditary or genetic diseases. We BAER and CERF all our breeding stock, OFA patella check all new litters, and all our breeding stock as well. In addition our crew has had or will have OFA hips and Legg-Perthe x-rays completed. We have submitted all our breeding stock's DNA to the genetic testing and tracking laboratories at the Univ. of Davis DNA project. We will submit all our veterinary clearances on all our dogs to the Registry of Health and Merit list for all Jack Russell Terriers on their website once we receive back all our OFA cards. Our dogs are guaranteed to be free of any genetic defective trait that would limit the dog's ability to fullfill the purpose of a companion pet. Written proof of diagnosis by a licensed veterinarian and a telephone number to verify is required for any problems if ever found. Compensation to owners will vary depending on the situation but the option offered is replacement of the puppy with one of similar value. Buyers are responsible for shipping charges on any returned and/or replacement puppies.
As JRT's are a purebred strain and typically do not throw mirror images of themselves, no promise or guarantees can be made regarding exact adult height, coat type, or ear set. However it is expected that when we breed 10 generations of '12 inches and under 'or '10 inches and under' the result will be a dog of under the designated height. If we breed a taller or shorter dog specifically for showing then we are striving for the blend of conformation, breed standard for that type, working ability and a best blend of temperament and disposition. Our goal has always been to breed the best to the best and hope to improve the overall breed.
I expect buyers to be reasonable in their expectations of our kennel. Every dog that has ever been born carries 3-5 unseen or unexpressed genetic diseases. All the careful planning in the world can't prevent or predict every problem that could occur. I will always want to know if there is a problem with one of my puppies so I can amend my breeding program accordingly to weed out even any potential problems.
We also guarantee that your puppy will be free from genetic defects after delivery of your puppy if it would prevent him or her from being properly registered. Should your puppy suffer from any such problem after delivery, we will replace your puppy upon certification by a veterinarian that the puppy was examined and suffers from such genetic problem.
We try to ensure that our Jack Russell Terrier puppies only go to the most appropriate homes. We like to question our prospective owners to see if their household is a good match for a JRT. We do pre-qualify all of our owners. Each puppy is hand-raised and individually loved as part of our family. We want you to understand that this decision to make a Jack Russell puppy a part of your family is a long-term commitment. Jacks can easily live to 15 or 20 years in some cases.
If you have any questions about your puppy or Jack Russells, please give us a call. We would appreciate photos from time to time, to see how your puppy matures. If for any reason you are unable to keep your puppy in the future, please remember you are required to call us first. We always require a 'right of first refusal, or right of reclamation', in the purchase agreement. We will take the puppy back or help find him another home, if you think you are going to have to give your puppy away for whatever reason we will take him or her back, for the lifetime of the dog. Enjoy your new "member of the family!"
