	Hi Fiona, Just checking in with a quick update about Guinness.  He is doing great, and everybody loves him!  He's learning his basic commands, easily.  He LOVES to play all day, every day with his canine buddy, Riley.  He also loves to hunt for mice with our cats in the back yard.  His coat is coming in nicely and he's a lovely member of the family, we all just adore him.  My husband is especailly fond of him and often takes him to run errands, he even went to work with him the other day....all the customers thought he was the cutest little pup:o)  My mother was here for a visit last weekend and I don't think she put him down to walk on his own the entire time she was here, in fact she even smuggled him out of his crate at night and stowed him away with her in the guest bedroom, where he slept quite comfortable under the blankets, curled up at her feet.  Anyways, Guinness is great, as you already know, and everyone who meets him thinks he's great too! Thanks again for such a great little dog...and if we didn't already have Riley too we'd be inquiring about the next litter.  But for now, two dogs will do:o) Melissa M   *BAILEY* Hi Fiona,   I just had to tell you that we are enjoying Finnegan very much.  He is THE CENTER of attention EVERYWHERE he goes, and he truly is quite the little "ham," as you predicted.  He loves people and especially children.  He will be making his first plane trip to Michigan next month, and so far, he is a very good little traveller, very cozy in his back-pack carrier.   Hope all is well with you and your family, Kasey and Grant Kidd Guinness “Fiona, I still haven’t figured out how one can fit SO much dog into such a small package.  Bailey has become a very important part of our family.  We couldn’t have asked for a better dog.  Your Jacks are incredible.”  Ryan Peary

	Hi Fiona,   ....He's now going to agility on Sundays when I'm home and the weather cooperates and to basic obedience on Thursdays. He's a super star in both classes. Martha adores him, as does Charlene, the co-instructor at obedience. Yesterday was only his third agility class and already he's running series of obstacles and is the only dog in the class who spends nearly all of the class off leash. His obedience works is even better. Of course, we can practice that at home every day, too. He's got stand, sit, and down stays for at least 3 minutes each now, is working off leash at home, has automatic heel sits down cold, is almost perfect at turns in place, and is tolerating stand for examination by someone other than me. Basic runs another four weeks then he'll move onto intermediate, and from that to the competition class. He should be ready to start competing at novice this fall. I fully intend to title him in obedience, rally-o, and agility. He's the dog I've been waiting for to compete with. (And here I thought I was just getting a buddy!) ..... Cheers! Liz

	Hi Fiona,   Oliver and Pip are best friends now and are together ALL THE TIME. Ollie gets upset when he can't jump up on the couch or bed to be with his big brother. Pip is wonderful with him. He watches out for him and teaches him. I've enclosed another wonderful picture of the two of them for your scrapbook. Hope you and your family are well. I've told someone else about you and when their Lab finally goes, they're considering another Russell. They have a rough coated one right now. Oliver is the best sales pitch I've got. EVERYBODY LOVES HIM!!!!! Stay well, Dottie Ollie with big brother Pip. Hazel x Bodie litter

	Fiona Leahy's JRT's are the calmest, steadiest and most well mannered JRT's I have ever encountered both as pups and adults.  I do not hesitate to recommend her JRT's to anyone, and have done so to family members and friends.                    Robert Dehler DVM

	When we decided to go with Jack Russell Terriers, we looked long and hard for the right breeder: someone who treated their dogs like part of the family, and would spend time with us patiently answer our questions. We met several breeders whom we could tell right away did not fit this description. When we got to Fiona's farm, we knew right away this was where we wanted to get our dogs. Her five adult Jack Russells greeted us warmly and calmly. We felt at home right away, and talked with her at length about the kind of dogs we were looking for, our lifestyle and so on. She took a lot of time out of her busy day with her young children to answer all our questions, and asked us some good questions, too. Most of all, we were astounded by how calm and balanced her dogs were. We'd never seen Jack Russells like that, as the breed is often known for being extremely active and highly energetic. Her dogs are wonderful, well behaved, even mellow (!) little guys. Don't get me wrong - they love to play and romp, but they also greatly enjoy a snuggle on the sofa. This, to us, is the ideal! We got Sadie and Rocco a few weeks ago, and they are a total joy! They are happy, plump, playful little pups who just love their humans! We could not be happier with them. And as new owners, we've had a MILLION questions, which Fiona has patiently and kindly answered for us via phone and email. When the dogs had a little tummy issue last week, Fiona was right on the phone, encouraging us to talk with the vet about what was going on. They got some medicine and have been just fine ever since! She reassured us that her pups are hearty little guys, and that has proven to be true - like all pups, they are into EVERYTHING and we've had our hands full! But we love them very much and they're already a part of our family. We are very grateful to Fiona for all her help and for bringing us such joy in our lives! -- Brad and Lisa, Watertown, MA

	Dear Fiona,  Happy New Year! Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoy Toby. He is so smart, cute, and fun. Toby is very playful, he has bonded well with Hershey our eleven year old lab,bringing back a playful energy. Toby always wants to cuddle up with us. He has definitely chosen Iain for a playmate, mischeviously tugging at his socks when they play. Toby is a very healthy, active, adorable,cuddly,energetic addition to our family.Thanks for such a great dog.  Best regards to you and your family,             Michelle Toby, Tulip x Jack Litter

	From the moment my husband and I brought Barley home our lives were forever changed, in an amazing way.  After meeting Fiona and her dogs I knew right away a puppy from her litter was the right choice.  We were looking for a dog who would be active and enjoy the outdoors as much as we did but one that would also be able to snuggle up with us for some relaxing days on the couch.  We wanted a dog that would be great around kids, after observing Fiona and her children in their home with the dogs I knew the puppies would have all the attention they needed and would be well socialized.  Barley was easy to house train and crate train due to the intelligent nature of the breed but I believe it’s mostly due to the training and attention Fiona gave to the puppies during the first couple months.  Because Barley has brought so much joy to our family we are currently waiting on our second dog from one of Fiona’s litters.  Going with another breeder was out of the question for us.  I know Fiona picks dogs that have the best temperament and are not the typical yappy overly hyper Jacks.  Everyone who meets Barley is so impressed with his temperament, and intelligence.  People say they have never seen a Jack like him, and that’s why I originally decided to have one of Fiona’s pups and will be doing it again shortly!     Barley loves to go hiking; he’s tackled some pretty big ones!  He loves to go camping, swim, playing Flyball (he’s on the Maine Coast Runners Flyball Team), he loves to go fishing, and knows all his toys by specific names!  Barley also loves to take a good nap, snuggled under the blanket on the couch. He’s a great dog! Alison Tizzy x Murphy litter
