Jack Russells are primarily hunting dogs. They were bred to hunt fox and they are also used to hunt many other animals, such as, raccoon, groundhog and rats. In Guam they are also used to hunt a deadly brown tree snake that tries to hitch rides to the US aboard outbound aircraft. Jack Russells make great family pets, but they are not for everyone because they require alot of attention and exercize. Jack Russells do well in pretty much anything they try. The Jack Russell got its name from the Parson John Russell who originally bred these wonderful dogs. His first Jack Russell was known as Trump.
  Jack Russells do not do well with small animals such as cats and other small pets. Although they have been known to be best friends with some when raised together. Jacks also do not usually do well with each other. When two jacks are together it is best if they are male and female.
  Jack Russells can be your best friend or your worst enemy.

Welcome to Krystal Kourt JRTs. We are located in NE Texas about an hour's drive NE of  Dallas. We are a small kennel and only breed occasionally. We also show our wonderful Jack Russells, mostly at JRTCA sanctioned trials. We recently started hunting with our JRTs. Our kennel is registered with the JRTCA as well as our breeding stock.
Our resident jrts are: Sarah, a tri-color broken female;  Scamper, a tri-color broken male: and Taffy, a tri-color smooth female.  Our newest addition is Dew who is dam to the jrt who started my obsession: DayDream Oopsa Daisy.
  One of my daughters, Kelly, has become interested in showing our jrts. She started out showing in child handler and just last year moved up to youth handler. She showed at a trial in Denton, TX in fall 2004 and placed 1st in youth handler and 2nd in youth gtg, earning the high point youth ribbon. January 2005, in Athens, TX she placed 1st in both youth conformation and youth gtg, again earning the youth high point award. She also showed DayDream Rio in the costume contest(Rio was dressed as a raccoon) in Denton, TX at the request of her owners, Rusty and Cheryl Martin. Kelly is also showing interest in hunting these little terriers.
