I also understand that I am putting this puppy at risk of contracting contagious diseases (Parvo, etc.) by taking it out in public places before receiving the full series of vaccinations (usually finished by 16 weeks old).

If for any reason, I can no longer keep this dog, I agree to contact West AZ, who will either take the dog back or help to place it in a new home (at the dog owner’s discretion). Age of the dog does not matter, however compensation will not be given for an older puppy or adult dog.  I agree to keep West AZ updated on any changes of address.

I have read and understand this contract and I am in agreement.

PakaJack Russells of West AZ
Puppy Contract
Dear New Puppy Owner:

    Your Puppy is described as follows: 
    Kennel Name:   PakaJack XXXXX
    Whelped:                        September , 2007
    Sex:        male
    Parents:          UKC GRCH
                                                 UKC  Champion
     Coat type and color:  Smooth White, Black & Tan
     Avid Microchip #        _________

Thank you for choosing a PakaJack Russell of West AZ.  When you purchase a PakaJack puppy, you and we the breeder, agree to certain factors, by receiving your PakaJack puppy you have agreed to the following criteria:

Remember these are guidelines, you should always consult your veterinarian for your puppy’s health care.

VACCINATIONS:

This puppy has received the following puppy shots: ProGard5 serial#              given __________at 6 weeks, _________ at 9         weeks of age.  Per the manufacturers instructions, it is recommended that your puppy be given 3 sets of shots, at least 3 weeks apart, not counting the 6 week shot as this is too early.  Then one booster annually.  Do not let your vet give a parvo show within three weeks of the last show we have given.  Serious complications have been known to occur.  Rabies can be given at 4 months and should be given by the age of 6 months.  This puppy should be taken to the vet for a checkup and his/her next shot on ____________.

DIET

Your puppy has been eating Life's Abundance, for the healthiest & safest pet foods please go to: www.trilogyonline.com/pakajack.  We feed about a 1/4 of a cup mixed with a little bit of canned food and a little water, three times a day.  A sample has been supplied.  We feed as much dry food as they want.  Do not feed your puppy, chocolate, onions, grapes, raisins or a lot of garlic.  You should also look up other household poisons (see enclosed list).  A good quality food can be found at a local pet store.  We do not feed any food with corn  or soy as an ingredient. 

POTTY TRAINING

Put the food up by early to mid evening.   Your puppy depending on the age, more than likely has not been fully potty trained.  He/she has been accustomed to sleeping in a puppy pen with siblings and then waking and soiling on puppy litter.  As a general rule of thumb, a puppy can hold its bladder for one hour per month-of-age plus one.  In other words, a two-month-old puppy can hold its bladder and bowels for 3 hours and a three-month-old for 4 hours, a five-month-old for 6 hours.  Many puppies cannot be fully housebroken before they are 6 months old!  Consistency and routine are key!

Praise! Praise! Praise the puppy!  Using the same word consistently is a good way to help them understand what you want from them. 

It is important to know when your puppy will have to go to the bathroom. 

    Put them where you want them to go: 
    Right after waking up
    After a few moments of excited play
    After eating
    After drinking
    A few hours after the last time

Go out with your puppy and make sure he potties.  If you do not go out with him/her, he might just sit by the door and wait for you to come back.  Then he comes in the house and has to go, so he goes on the floor or rug.  I always walk out with young pups, that way it is easy to praise them when they go.  They get the idea much quicker in this manner.  My neighbors probably think we are crazy standing outside saying good potty, good potty.  It also works when they get a little older and forget that they are outside to go potty not play.  Much like a little child when they are learning potty training.  They get outside playing and then you call them in and gee they still had to go and can not tell you.
 
NIGHT TIME CRYING & CRATES

Please remember that your new puppy has been accustomed to sleeping with a pile of other puppies.  Your puppy has been in a confined exercise pen and may still be scared in his/her new atmosphere, especially alone.  Please be patient and place the puppy in his/her area right away to show them where they will be sleeping.  Maybe give them a treat, or dog approved stuffed animal or toy.
The first week or so your puppy may cry during the night or while you are away.  Remember that if you pick the puppy up and put the puppy in your bed that your puppy will expect this.  It’s not always a bad thing – we love to sleep with them. 

Do not teach your puppy to cry!  Reward your puppy by picking it up when he/she is NOT crying.  Wait till he/she stops or pauses crying and then pick it up!  Never ever call your dog and then punish it.  They should always be praised for coming to you.  If you feel you must punish, do not call them, go get them.  Punishment should me very mild as these dogs are very sensitive.  A stern "NO"  will usually surffice. 

WATER SAFETY

Be very careful with Russell Terriers and pools or ponds.  They have very short legs and some of them do not always swim well.  Yet most love the water.  My dog Meatball loves to dive in and swim, but if a bigger dog knocks into him he can get in trouble in a hurry.  So around water he wears a life jacket.  Many  Russells have drown.  More than you can believe.  Be VERY careful of any water that is deeper than the height of their back. 

MORE INFORMATION 

For more information on the Jack Russell Terrier, go to  http://www.ukcrussellterrier.com/   or www.akc-russell-terrier.com .

FYI:  You own a Short Jack Russell Terrier, also known as AKC Russell Terrier, “shorty”, not a Parsons.  The difference, the Parson Russell Terrier is a leggier-taller dog between the height of 12-16 inches and has a more square silhouette.  The Russell is a slightly longer than tall Russell between the height of 10-12 inches, has more bone and usually slightly more muscle.  This breed is not a “puddin”, while usually a term of endearment; puddins are often referred to dogs that are dwarfed, this is a medical condition. While some dogs develop prick ears and crooked front legs, these traits are undesirable, however they are at present somewhat common in the breed.
