Elk River Jack Russell's is a small kennel located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. The name of the kennel is derived from a river that runs near the property and is well known for its 80 foot waterfall, Elk River Falls. It's also a favorite spot for our family and our terriers for warm weather playtime!!
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13-14

We are Kent and Heather Hayes, and we have three boys named Caleb, Eli, and Jonah. My first experience with terriers was on my dad's apple farm in the early 80's. We always kept a few terriers around to keep the rat and mice population down. I have fond childhood memories of going out in the fields and around the buildings hunting with my dogs. We used to wreek havoc on the field mice population which my father loved because the mice would make their den's around the roots of the apple tree's.
Our terriers are from working bloodlines and are BAER tested to rule out hearing problems and annually CERF tested to be sure they have no vision problems. Also, they are registered through the JRTCA when they reach their first birthday and enter trials that the JRTCA sanctions. We also BAER test any puppies that are sold as "Show Prospects" before they go to their new homes.
The Jack Russell is first and foremost a hunting dog and is not for everyone. For more info on the JRTCA and to make sure the Jack Russell Terrier is the right dog for you visit www.terrier.com.
We adhere to the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America Breeders Code of Ethics and breed to the standards set forth by the JRTCA. We breed only a few select litters per year and breed first and foremost for working ability and conformation but also for a sound athlete with brains.
We are dedicated to preserving this wonderful terrier and strive to retain and enhance all the wonderful qualities that have endeared us to the breed. We truly take pleasure in hitting the woods with our dogs and spend a considerable amount of time outdoors enjoying the cool North Carolina Mountain air.
