Looking for a Puppy

if you're willing to spend enough $ there is always someone willing to sell to you and convince you it's exactly what you want. maybe a dog breeding message board would be more helpful. found this website: http://www.jack-russell-lover.com/miniature-jack-russell.... which states you may be looking to get scammed. there are a lot of smaller dogs that would be just as great as a "purebred". just sayin'....personally i'm pretty anti dog breeding and buying/selling in general. just don't think it's right, myself...

You might want to try PetFinder.com.

If you haven't yet, or don't know about it - it's a website that hundreds of shelters around the country use to help find forever families for almost every kind of animal that needs a home.

You can specify size, breed, gender and do a close search or search *all* that is available for adoption. I've found and adopted three purebred dogs over the years using this search engine and a couple mixes.

Remember, Don't Shop! Adopt! :)

If it were me, I'd call a regular-sized breeder (um, what I just wrote is not exactly what I meant to say) and ask both whether there are mini breeders in your state and whether there's a rescue organization for the tiny ones, which would be another great lead to finding a dog. It seems that good dog breeders, ones who really care about their breed, know other good breeders and the other good people.

Reputable breeders generally don't breed "miniatures" of a breed that isn't supposed to be miniature. But any breeder can accidentally produce a dog that is outside of the breed standard, so you could check with regular JRT breeders. Also, Jack Russells have a pretty wide size range (10 to 15 inches at the shoulder), so a dog on the smaller end of the scale might be around the size you're seeking.

Or you might want to try a Miniature Rat Terrier or a Toy Fox Terrier. Those breeds are pretty small while retaining that fun-loving terrier temperament.

Best of luck, I hope you find your perfect dog!

Are mini Jack Russells an actual breed, or are you looking for someone that is experimenting in that area?
I would call the Jack Russell terrier breeders and ask them.
I would also be on the lookout at your local shelter and check out your area rescue groups. You may actually find the perfect dog there!

I loooove shelters!!!

Jack Russells are very active -- are you sure you want to do this?
Actually, they're crazy! They don't settle down until they are OLD.
You are a brave soul.

Try petfinder.com or ebay classified (thats where I found our puppy here in Florida). The breeder I delt with has her dogs all certified with CKC.
