What makes our Jacks different

MADRABEAG
 simply means little or small dog.
In gaelic madra is dog and beag is small.
 
Her at MadraBeag Farm our goal is simple to breed Jack Russells the 'Irish Way',
Happy, Healthy and Hardy.
Honesty and genuinely caring for the dogs and pups is key to being a good breeder. I care very much where my pups end up and that they live long, happy lives with their families. I care equally that my dogs live a good life and are happy, healthy and loved and live the life they deserve

This is me in Ireland age 7, with my 1st jack russell pup, Bubbles.
This is the day we picked her up on our way home from church, I was in my Sunday best! I was thrilled with myself.

We have our little Jacks, a few other wonderful farm dogs, barn cats, a few horses and colorful assortment of hens.
 
The animals are hardwork and require plenty of attention but the benefits and goodness that we enjoy from them far outweigh the work.
 
It is lovely here in Maine, we live a mile from the beach, yet we enjoy our privacy nestled down our driveway tucked away in the woods.
 
All 3 of my children seem to have inherited a love of animals, from their Mother.
I think it is a wonderful life, hopefully they agree.

This is his favorite spot to hang out.

 My family has had a passion for these little Jacks for as long as I can remember, but me in particular. For me, no other breed compares to a Jack Russell.

Born and raised in Co. Dublin.
I am the only one here in America and so we travel home annually to Ireland.
My family now live in Co.Wicklow, the garden of Ireland. I have extended family in Dublin and out West.
 
My love for animals, in particular dogs, has been life long and has brought me endless joy.
 I drove my parents mad dragging home stray dogs and other 4 legged animals.
But it was a wonderful time and in an attempt to recreate much of what
I enjoyed, as a child, Madra Beag Farm began.
