Our puppies are socialized with children, adults, other dogs and even a cat or kittens on occasion. Here is our litter of 6 week old puppies meeting Great Grandma and 2-1/2 year old Madison. Armani sure likes your hair Madison. It matches his other sissy's color!

At Shingle Oak, we concentrate on producing excellent temperaments, correct conformation and the absolute best terrier possible. With that said, we are very partial to the tan and white color. We offer smooth, broken, and rough coats along with various color types. We breed tri-color, tan & white, all white and the occasional black and white puppies. Most of our puppies are sold by advance reservation. Please consider getting on our reservation list to reserve your puppy now!

We have decided to move this puppy into a companion home. She is 6 months old and just beautiful. The picture above is her winning Reserve Puppy Champion in Illinois.

This puppy would rather be in your lap than in a show ring.

She will be sold on a spay agreement only! Kit Kat is a tri- color lightly broken coated female who will stay under 12.5" tall.

Meet Rocky. He is our "special" puppy. On day 3 after he was born, I noticed he wasn't growing and upon close examination we found he had a cleft palate and was unable to suckle. He was slowly starving to death. Our veterinarian offered to put him down, but I just had to give him a chance.

I did some research and found a wonderful website that has been extremely educational as well as informative. Rocky is growing and even though he is half the size of his littermates, we are assured that he will catch up once on dry puppy food. For now, we are nursing him from a pet nurser every 2 hours around the clock and he is on the antibiotic Cephaxelin to fight the pneumonia which is what kills 99% of these special babies.

Stay tuned for updates each week on his progress.

Today is day 39 (August 1st) and Rocky continues to catch up. He has made it to the milestone of 5 weeks of age with much prayer and determination on both my husbands and my part. He still doesn't really want to eat kibble but manages to get 8 or 9 pieces down at almost every meal. He still is nursing with gusto and has tried to drink water out of the bowl with the other puppies. Most runs out of his nose which he hasn't quite mastered the "lifting his head" part. He has personality plus and is as cute as can be.

We are expecting some beautiful puppies from these crosses. Shelmar Brady produced Shingle Oak Bellagio out of Shingle Oak Roulette and we are hopeful he will produce the same quality of get with Dazzle and Sparkle.

Dazzle is a lovey small (11") tan and white girl and Sparkle is just a little taller (12.5") and Brady is a small (12.5" ) white lightly broken coated dog. Together we are hoping for both tan and white and tri colors pups. All are lovely movers with sweet sweet temperaments! These puppies are due right around Christmas. Deposits are being accepted now.

Today (9-17-09) we took Rocky in for his final surgery to repair his cleft. Dr. Padgett from Metro said he did GREAT!

His new mom and dad (Lynn and Bill from Bath, OH) picked him up from the hospital and he will continue the journey of recovery with them.

We will visit Rocky from time to time and I will take pictures and post them on his newly created web page.

Thank you again for all of your support, prayers, and interest in this wonderful little Jack Russell Terrier.

Rocky has blessed and enriched our lives. We've met wonderful people through emails and in person during this journey. We feel it was meant to be and we feel blessed we were chosen to have him.

God Bless each and everyone who has followed our journey.

Today (9-8-09) Rocky is 11 weeks old and a lot has happened since we last updated his progress.

Rocky has had the surgery to repair his cleft palate. This surgery was necessary due to the severity of the cleft. He is doing wonderfully. His checkup was today and there is still a little space that did not close so he will need to have an additional surgery in about a week that will make everything normal.

He is not allowed to bite on anything soft or hard so he has had to be kept away from Carly and he misses her something terrible. When she is out to play he wants out so badly to be with her. I do let them play when I can supervise but since he is not allowed to bite or chew on ANYTHING it is almost impossible to stop when he is with her.

Rocky weighs 4 lbs. I will continue to update his progress next week. Thank you for all of your prayers and kind emails. Your support has been uplifting to my husband and I.

Today (8-25-09) Rocky is 9 weeks old! We celebrate this wonderful milestone. He is a sweet and quiet dog - happy to play and sleep on your lap. He has been spending his afternoons with Carly who is quite a bit younger but Rocky is gentle and Carly didn't have any siblings so she needed the companionship of another puppy and Rocky was perfect for her.

Today is day 55 (August 17th and Rocky is 8 weeks old and continues to grow big and strong and learn. He hasn't had a bottle in over a week and is eating dry kibble and drinking water on his own. He is barking and playing with his siblings and though still small he has personality plus! He is slowly catching up with his brothers and sisters. He loves to snuggle and is happy to be loved and held on your lap.

Today is day 46 (August 9th) and Rocky is just amazing! He finally is eating dry kibble and liking it! We give him a bottle in the morning and in the evening (his special time) but he is drinking water and has finally mastered the art of lifting his head. He is forced to drink like a duck or goose since if he doesn't, it runs back out of his nose. It really is something that he has had to figured out on his own. He has personality plus and is as cute and smart as can be.

If you are looking for a "special buddy" and think you could make Rocky the center of attention (only dog) in your home, please contact me.

Today is day 18 (July 11th) and Rocky continues to grow. We changed his pet nurser to a real baby bottle and it seems to be working better. He gets more formula faster and it doesn't take 40 minutes to feed him. He is still being nursed every 2 hours and goes 3 hours at night. He is still on the antibiotics.

Today is day 24 (July 17th) and Rocky continues to grow. We are so pleased with his progress. He is enjoying being loved on after he eats and will give kisses now. He weighs just a pound and we look forward to starting him on dry puppy food in the next week.

Today is day 31 (July 24th) and Rocky continues to grow. We have started him on dry food which he hates and we've tried everything to get him to eat it. I was finally forced to soften it some and he has decided that is ok. He still insists on nursing which makes me feel better knowing his tummy is full. He is barking and playing with his siblings and though still small he has personality plus!

This short clip is Bellagio doing what he LOVES to do and that is chase the ball. He does it for hours and Kit Kat loves to chase him while he runs. This video was taken on November 14th, 2009.
