Welcome to our Family of Brightjacks Shortiejacks

​

We have shared and enjoyed the companionship of this unique breed since the early 90's. In early 2000, we embarked on a journey producing a more modern day Shortie, also recognized as awesome Shorty Jacks,  Short Leg Jacks,  Shortie Jacks,  Short Jack Russell Terriers.

We prefer Shortiejacks. We have fancied this breed for the last 27 years, focused on preserving and producing High Quality Bloodlines. Puppies produced by health tested parents with consistent overall quality in health, eye appeal, calm temperaments and stockier build. Shorties have never  been what is called a cookie cutter breed. Each uniquely different in personality, ear set, coat,  conformation and size ranging 9 - 11 at the shoulder. But this is only part of what makes this breed so unique. Their silly antics, desire to please, entertaining personality, quality in health, longevity in life, makes them great companions for many lifestyles. Shorties that we intend to include in our breeding program, must meet our high standards in sound health, gentle minds, be willing to co-habitat and enjoy our multi dog lifestyle. We breed towards legs that are straighter not shorter, more bone, broader heads, ears set close to the eye. We raise shorties in our personal home & kennel as members of our family. We are dedicated to providing a healthy, loving, enjoyable lifestyle for our fur babies.

We have worked hard to provide a healthy family environment. We allow our females to run freely during the day. They live, play, nap without limitations and at night they usually set their own bedtime around 9 - 10 pm. They are sure to let us know they are ready for their bedtime treats. They each have their own 24x36 bedtime crates and are warm in the winter or cool in the summer, in crates large enough for them to stretch out and sleep comfortable all night long. Amazes us how they all sleep pretty much all through the night without a peep. 

No need for an alarm clock,  as they have 4:00 am down pat.

Our Journey raising this unique  "ORIGINAL" Short Leg Jack Russell Terriers.

I joined this adventure with Jana Crawford to bring awareness to what seemed to be the forgotten original family member of the Short Leg Jack Russell Terrier. Not so much over seas, as it seemed that the Short leg Jacks continued to rise in popularity. Here in the USA, they are were rare to find.

Jana, I and several other breeders became interested to working towards bringing awareness here

in the USA, by importing a male and female of this forgotten Breed. Over time there are additional breeders and families that were intrigued to learn more about the Solid Jacks. More to come soon.
