The late Jackie Arine, founder of Westerly Kennels, was a California show
in the early 1980’s. She was so impressed and intrigued by them that she
then set about acquiring her foundation dogs with the attributes she most
desired and associated with the ideal JRT. Thus the conception of Russells.
Jackie and her mother raised, trained and bred racing Thoroughbred
horses and she applied her knowledge of bloodlines and conformation to
creating her line of Jacks. Her mother also raised quality poodles and
Jackie worked for veterinarians which all factored into the success she
achieved with the development of her Westerly line.
Jackie had an ideal image of a Jack Russell and dedicated over 25 years
perfecting it...Westerly Jack Russells became very well known in the Jack
Russell world, producing some of the best foundation stock sought after
by breeders of these little companions...names like Popcorn,( her last
breeding stud dog), Two Eyed Jack, Buffy, Daisy, Westerly Max, Nert,
and Cord, are dogs to brag about if contained in your dog's pedigree.
A Westerly JRT has a lot going for it...great temperament, wonderful
calm demeanor and a certain sharp look and conformation. They are also
very focused, smart little dogs. Too many Westerlys to count have
become recognized stars in the arenas of Obedience, Fly Ball, Earth Dogs,
Agility and even stars of the Silver Screen!
They are known for their "look," you can spot a Westerly Jack Russell on
sight...a head to die for, gorgeous ear sets, good bone structure, nice
short compact builds and good straight legs. They are inherently healthy
as an added benefit!
Jackie hand picked all her breeding stock through the years and these
Westerly Jack Russells are just plain and simply the BEST. Whether you
are a breeder looking to add all these qualities to your breeding program,
or a family looking for that perfect pet, these dogs are tops.
As the century turned Jackie was saddened by all the political nonsense
surrounding these little "shorty" Jacks and refused to join any club with
their rules and regulations...Jackie was as politically incorrect as her dogs,
but in the best possible way! She became excited and enthralled with
another new canine development, the Labradoodle. I was fortunate enough
to live about 30 miles from Jackie's last home here in Idaho. I had
purchased some of my very first dogs from her. Shortly before her
passing she offered me her remaining kennel of Westerly breeding stock.
How could I say no! I was honored that she would entrust her precious
line to me.
Jackie was my mentor and my foot in the "door" to the finest JRTs and
now we are so "past the door"...we are a "house" of Jacks! We are proud
of our dogs and wish to thank Jackie for all she has contributed in their
development!
We believe the Westerly Jack Russell Terrier is superior to any Jack
Russell, or English Jack Russell, or Russell Terrier out there!
We invite you to experience a Westerly JRT first hand.
