Price & budget

How much does a Jack Russell Terrier kitten cost?

Great Britain

A LOF-bred Jack Russell Terrier is often priced between €1,000 and €1,500 depending on the lineage, the type (smooth, broken or rough coat) and the screenings. The training and activity budget quickly exceeds the purchase price.

Purchase price

It all depends on where your kitten comes from

Prefer a breeder who clearly distinguishes between Jack Russell and Parson, presents the parents, the eye examinations and a contract. Beware of very cheap puppies from vague ads.

A price too good to be true?

  • Make sure it really is a Jack Russell and not a Parson or a crossbreed sold under that name.
  • A very cheap puppy with no documents and no visible parents is a warning sign.
  • Plan ahead for the cost of consistent training: it is a hunting terrier, not a couch dog.
