Just a little look at our family enjoying Christmas

this year. God has truly blessed my family!!!

Home from all the hospital stuff, hopefully for a while. Starting to get my energy back. They will drain my lung only two more times and then I will go in for a few weeks to have a drain installed that stays in a while. Hopefully we can figure out how to avoid that. In the meantime....I have some really great little babies. Some that will be ready this week and some just in time for spring. Pictures being added daily. All coats, all colors. ALL SWEET!!!

Site updated March 9, 2010

Spring has sprung here at Claddagh, lots of new babies!!!!

AWESOME BABIES ON PUPPY PAGE!
VISIT OUR RESCUES TOO!!

Our homeless project for February went GREAT!!

We made barbeque, baked beans, pasta salad and deserts galore!! I was a real blessing for my family and each person that came was very happy to be able to come and eat and come in out of the cold. Weather is getting a bit better in Ohio and we are gearing up for a big meal for over 200 homeless for March. Thanks for your continued support~!!

Claddagh is welcoming Gibbs. A much welcomed new stud for next year. He is awesome!

Welcome to Claddagh Jacks!!!

Claddagh Jacks is the home to your new best friend!! We raise only short legged, Irish and English Jack Russell Terriers. We call ourselves Claddagh Jacks because of the love we have for the Claddagh and for our little Jacks. The Claddagh is the Irish symbol for love. Unlike other Irish Symbols, the Claddagh is not an ancient Celtic design, but a 16th century Irish symbol for love and friendship. The heart at the center is symbolic of love, the hands around the heart symbolize friendship, while the crown represents everlasting loyalty. THUS, "CLADDAGH" Jacks, home of the loving, friendly and loyal Jack Russell shorty!! This is the place you will find unconditional love from the greatest little Jacks around.

HERE ARE SOME OF OUR NEW LINES AND BABIES WE HAVE BEEN GROWING UP FOR THE NEW CLADDAGH 2010!!!! I HAVE KEPT THESE GUYS HIDDEN UNTIL THEY GREW UP!! I AM EXCITED!!!

This is Chillie...She is a new mom!!!! Babies on the puppy page!!!

Claddagh Jacks has supported many projects over the years with

proceeds from our great little puppies. Every year we collect all year long for

Operation Christmas Child. Christmas 2008 we filled 2300 shoe boxes for underprivileged children.

We continue to support this ministry and will be collecting all year for our 2009 shoeboxes.

We are collecting now and will continue this for many years to come.

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect, it means you have decided to look beyond the imperfections!

This is Oyster. His new family sent this in for us to enjoy. He was definitely a little guy I hated to let go, but he has a wonderful family that love him very much and he is very active as you can see.

Note: It has been brought to my attention that there are concerns about my cancer and me dying and maybe not being around for all the wonderful Claddagh friends. IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!! I have had two kinds of cancer and am as tough as nails. The Lord still has work for me to do, one of which is helping the entire world know how wonderful shorty Jacks are...

I am alive and very much kicking. I have bad days like everyone else, but am trusting God every single day for many, many years to come. Takes a lot more than a little cancer to take me out. A breeder has to be as tough as her breed, so there! Thanks for your concerns and calls, but I will be here if you need anything. If you just want to talk Jacks, or if you need help with training, or any issue. Even if you don't want to talk dogs at all and just need someone to talk to or pray with...I'M HERE!!! Again, thanks for your concerns, I appreciate it.

Who says kids and Jacks don't mix?
