Jack Russell Terrier Craigslist

Buying a Jack Russell Terrier From a Craigslist Ad

Meet the darling Foxy White Tiger. She is a very sweet pet. Her owner, Linda, saved her from abusive dogs when she was just a puppy. Now she is ready to be adopted and saved a life.

Check out pictures of Jack Russell Terriers that need a good home. These are loving companions who love humans. They make great pets and wonderful family members. Consider buying one from a place that specializes in the breed like Craigs List. It’s important to buy from a place that can truly care for your new friend.

The owner, Linda, had the decision to put her Jack Russell Tiger into foster care. Several issues arose. First of all, she couldn’t leave her dog alone in the state she had found it. When her foster kids were going on vacation, she couldn’t take the dog with her because it wouldn’t qualify as a pet under their plan. So what was left for her?

She found an ad on Craigslist for a Jack Russell Terrier for sale. She was desperate to get her dog, but she had to look at many others first.

Would this be a bad idea? Why buy from someone who doesn’t really know the pet? What’s the guarantee? I started by talking to a local veterinarian’s office. After I got some information from them, I realized I could check out the craigslist ads as well.

Most breeders have a profile they post when they have puppies for sale. I went right to the section where they mention that they have puppies available and a phone number. That made me feel better about trying to contact these breeders.

I started calling the breeders listed in the section and asked them questions. When I had spoken to them on the phone, I felt much more confident. I knew I could trust them. Plus, when I saw their animals in person, I really liked the look. I wanted to buy a Jack Russell puppy from a pet store, but I wanted to make sure I could get it from the right place.

When I visited the pet store that the breeder had mentioned in her Craigslist ad, I was shocked to see how small it was.

It was tiny! I was expecting to see someone who owned a large and very active Jack Russell Terrier. In fact, when I looked at the list of breeders for that pet store, none of them had even pictures of their dogs.

So now I was stuck with this small and helpless Jack Russell puppy. But as I thought about buying it, I remembered something I heard from some pet store owners. “Look, we buy dogs from pet stores, not from breeders,” they said. They meant that the pet store buys only from a breeder who supplies it with all its life’s requirements, rather than from just anyone. So, I guess I did buy my puppy there from the pet store. Maybe you should too!

You see, I am pretty sure I wanted a purebred Jack Russell Terrier. I wasn’t thinking of getting a toy dog or anything like that. I wanted a real dog – a purebred Jack Russell Terrier. So, if a breeder won’t give me a list of his registered and certified dogs, or won’t show me any proof of a dog’s pedigree, how can I be sure I am getting a true Jack Russell Terrier? That is the question that I now seek the answer to.

It turns out that I can buy a puppy from a licensed and registered breeder, and I did so successfully, thanks to the helpful advice of a friend who told me about the pet store.

I didn’t have to pay as much as I would have had I gone to a pet store. My breeder gave me a deposit for the puppy, and I received the money on the day the puppy arrived. I also got an insurance plan for my puppy, which covered most of the vet bills, as well as training costs.

So, when you go to a pet store, make sure you ask the proprietor of the same questions you might ask of a licensed and registered breeder. Ask him why he is advertising in that paper. Ask him to provide you with receipts or pictures of the purebred Jack Russell puppy he has in stock. That is the kind of information you need to know if you are going to buy a puppy from a pet store.

But, if you want a purebred dog, then by all means buy your puppy at a pet store. My friend was right, though, about one thing. I should have asked for more information before I brought the puppy home. In fact, I should have asked for an extended warranty to cover possible future health problems.

The truth is, though, the puppy that lives with me now is much happier, calmer, and obedient than he would have been if I had gotten him from a licensed and registered breeder.
