A note from the Author; Kaylin Stinski:
My personal history with Jack Russell Terriers started while I was working in veterinary medicine. One of our clients had worked in Jack Russell rescue for years, and I often worked with her fosters, which gave me a well-rounded introduction to the breed. She then decided to transition into breeding. After my client's dog had its first litter, I knew that I wanted to add one to my home. Two years later, I reserved a pup.
Being in the veterinary field, I was blessed with a full maternity experience. I got to see the pups in-utero on radiographs and ultrasound. I got to see them a couple of days after they were born, again when they came in for their first exams, and when my puppy was weaned, he spent the night with me in the hospital as I was working on patients. He was born on October 30 and was given the name Goblin, which I promptly changed to Marty McFly, and he has been my constant companion since that night. Having a Jack Russell Terrier is no small feat; it can be very challenging at times, but I have never regretted opening my heart to one, and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you.
