Purchase price
It all depends on where your puppy 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 that seems 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.
