About Blue Bass Terriers
|
We are a small family AKC Russell Terrier program, located in gorgeous Ocala, FL. We strive for a functional, conformationally correct, temperament sound, healthy terrier. ALL of our dogs are health tested, temperament tested and show titled. We focus on quality not quantity, our program is not our livelihood. We are a show kennel so our dogs are shown in conformation events against their breed standard, this helps determine breeding quality as well as many other things we talk about later on. All of our dogs are our loving companions and cared for like our human family members. Our dogs live in the house and get free roam of our fenced yard where they are around a number of other animals such as chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits etc. Puppies are raised in the home and considered our family. This is how they learn how to properly live in a home. We do have small children in the home that we have taught to love and respect our dogs in exchange the dogs best friends are the children and we can often find them not far from each other. We offer both pet quality and show quality dogs, often times we will hold puppies back from a litter that we believe may do well in the show ring as there are many factors to determine how they will be in the ring. Either way we are pleased to be able to help you obtain a loving companion. Feel free to contact us with what you are looking for.

WE TAKE OUR COMPANION'S HEALTH SERIOUSLY
We strive for healthy to the breed standard Russell Terriers. Our dogs are fully health tested, temperament tested and age 2 or older before they are considered for breeding. Our dogs must pass their health tests, temperament test and be conformationally correct to the breed standards set by AKC and UKC. All of our dogs are held to the highest health standards, research, knowledge and veterinary care available. Their testing can be found on the OFA website by simply searching their name or by contacting us directly. We would be more than happy to give you an insight on our dogs testing, overall health and temperament.
We Use the Following Brands
|
Often we are asked what brands we use and/or recommend. There are may studies regarding what brand of food/treats are safe, after researching these studies and talking to veterinary nutritionist's as well as our veterinarian we have decided to feed Royal Canin. Royal Canin has years of research and testing behind the brand by veterinarians and veterinary nutritionist's alike. Royal Canin does have age and breed specific food's, we fed based on a dogs age and once an adult we feed the Jack Russell breed specific formula until they are considered senior's. Based on the studies regarding grain-free formulas causing heart issues and DCM we recommend staying with grain-inclusive food formulas. As for fleas we love Seresto colars, they are safe and effective for 8 months as well as cost effective. Not only are Seresto collars waterproof but they repel and kill fleas, ticks and mosquitos. If Seresto collars are something you decide to use for your own pet please buy from a reputable source such as Petsmart, Petco, Chewy.com, 1-800petmeds.com, etc as there are many Seresto knock-offs. Always talk to your vet about what is best for your pet and make educated designs based on what is best for your pet. Heartworm prevention is very important and must be obtained from a vet, we do however use Interceptor for our dogs as it kills and prevents heartworms as well as other internal parasites.
