Our puppies here at New Hope Jacks are not a
What you'd call a budget-friendly puppy, because we don’t raise them on a budget.
I've gotten messages at times saying my puppies are out of their budget, or asking if my price is negotiable, or people just being rude.
I'm just going to be upfront, I’ll never lower standards to meet your budget. Out of budget, doesn't mean overpriced.
Because the quality, the time, the intention, the heart that goes into these puppies that’s not something I can bargain with.
These are living, breathing little souls.
Not a product or sale item.
If anything, I’d be concerned if a puppy were cheap.
And I see it all the time in Facebook groups.
“Looking for a Purebred Jack Russell cheap, or "reasonably priced:
And I just bite my tongue….
What I want to say is
Puppies don’t just end up that cheap without something being sacrificed along the way.
Less time.
Less care.
Less exposure.
Less health testing.
Less intention.
And those “lesses”… don’t always show up right away.
Sometimes they show up later,
when your puppy is terrified of everything.
When temperament is less than acceptable.
When they can’t settle in your home because they are so anxious.
When health issues pop up that could’ve been prevented.
That’s the part people don’t think about in the moment.
But I don’t say all that because people take offense, and I understand that. Nobody wants to feel judged for what they can afford.
So I just shut my mouth and let people learn over time.
But if you’re here reading this, I want you to understand it from me,
There are no corners cut here.
Not in health, not in how they’re raised, not in what goes into them from the very beginning.
That health guarantee I offer is not just something that sounds nice.
I offer it because I truly stand behind what I’m producing and the work that goes into it.
From day one, these babies are raised with intention.
They’re handled daily, exposed to real-life different sounds, grooming, car rides, new environments… all the little things that turn into big things later.
Because I’m not just raising cute puppies.
I’m raising dogs you have to live with.
Dogs that need to be confident, stable, and easy to bring into your everyday life.
They’re raised right here in our home, part of our routine, under our feet, not in a barn or a shed, or a dog room off somewhere being “checked on.”
You can absolutely find a cheaper puppy.
Craigslist, PuppyFinder, Puppies.com, Facebook groups, even shelters… they’re everywhere.
But most of the time, if it’s cheaper… something, somewhere, was skipped.
And I’ll say this, price alone doesn’t mean quality either.
Breeders are charging the same as ours (or more) doing the bare minimum.
So don’t just look at the price look at the program.
Ask questions.
Ask about health testing.
Ask how they’re raised.
Ask yourself if those puppies look confident… or unsure.
Ask for a FaceTime call.
Trust your gut.
Quality lines, quality attention thorough and ethical breeding practices require commitment and time.
Thats exactly why I won’t lower my standards to meet a cheaper price point.
Because how I raise my puppies has value.
And this isn’t just buying a puppy
This is many years of your life.
Your routines. Your home. Your peace. Your FAMILY.
What you choose in the beginning you live with later.
What goes into these puppies adds up quickly,
quality nutrition, health testing, reproductive care, vet visits, grooming exposure, curriculum, supplies… and the time, energy, and consistency it takes to do it right.
And then being there for my family long after pickup day.
It’s a lot.
A lot, a lot.
But it matters.
We’re not a large-scale breeder.
We’re not a puppy store.
We’re a small, in-home program raising these puppies right here in our living room… pouring into them every single day.
And I’m so grateful for the families who see that, value that, and trust us with something so important. 💙🐾🐾
Because at the end of the day…
This isn’t just a purchase.
It’s the best investment for your family that you can make. Here at Jack Russells of New Hope Farms.
Have a Blessed Jack Day!
