THANK YOU TO THE MANY FAMILIES THAT HAVE WELCOMED
BRIGHTJACKS SHORTIEJACKS INTO THEIR HOMES

Dear Gertie & Gonzo,

Thank you for taking the time to meet with me and my daughter this past weekend. As you learned, we have been

proud

EJRT

owners for many years. When our beautiful Jetty girl passed away this past April, we have been finding

it unbearably difficult

to heal - as we loved her immensely. Visiting your home and kennels has given us joy and

hope that we will love again.

We loved meeting all of your happy little pups and their parents.

We are so appreciative of your hospitality and your knowledge.

We look forward to working with you on finding the right fit for our family in the future.

Kind Regards,

Lydia Groves

Dear Gertie,

I thought you’d get a chuckle out of tonight’s photo of little Squeak in her favorite

sleeping

position. She prefers sleeping halfway under the covers but with her front

legs and head exposed. She always sleeps both on her back and on my right side.

Spur,

prefers sleeping on top of the covers and spooned up against my left side.

He has much more fur so I think that the covers make him too hot. Before they

settle into their respective positions each night, they share mutual “F-you’s”

growled in typical Jack Russell fashion. Usually they are very fond of one another

unless

they

are trying to get to the same place simultaneously or getting into bed.

Gertie, I am so

grateful to you for allowing me to share my life with them both.

I am a lucky girl.

Fondly,

Janie Cilo

Dear Brightjacks,

I have had Max since 2006. He will be 12 in June.

He has been joy since picking him up. Despite being

almost 12 year he still thinks

he is a puppy.

His energy is never ending. He loves to cuddle and

burrow under his

blankets.

He can still be a little

hooligan, but that's part of being a JRT! Thank you.

Hello my name is Christina Bosworth (Linke).

Back in 2003 we bought a Jack

Russell from

you and had

him shipped to NJ on

Halloween. His name was Rudy

then

but changed it to

Sammy once we got him.

We just moved

to Ocala FL and

I came across his paper work and decided

look you up to see if you were still

around breeding Jack

Russells.

I just wanted

to let you

know that Sammy is the

best dog we have ever had.

He will be 15 years old on Aug.

28th. He is our child.

Our life has

been so

much happier

with Sammy in it. He turned

out to be

a smart,

loving

and

amazing

dog!

We couldn’t have

asked

for a better dog!!

If we decide to ever get another

dog I will be sure to look

you up and would love

another

Jack

Russell from you!

included some pictures so you can see

him

all

grown up!

Hope you have a

wonderful day! Thank you again

for our

best friend

for almost

15 years! Christina Bosworth

DEAR GONZO AND GERTIE

JUST TOO SAY THANKS AGO

FOR BEAUTIFUL BROOKLYN

WE ADORE HER

SINCERELY,

THOMAS AND NINA

Gertie! Dylan, Scott and I just had to tell you how in love we are with

our

puppies! They are

adorable,

and

everyone keeps

asking us where

we got

them! In fact, Dylan

and Scott went on a fishing trip to Miami

and

their

guide also claims to have

purchased

two puppies from you

and he said they

were from the same

litters!

Can you

believe? You were exactly right in

their temperament and they fit like a glove! I cannot

believe we

never had

these dogs before. We are so very very

happy

and

grateful to you

and your

amazing

breeding kennel!

Also,

Our vet was blown away by all of your paper work and said you

have an

excellent

operation

and that is

very

high praise indeed! Thank you again for everything! Target and Bandit (Dickens) send their love as well!

Kelly,

Scott and Dylan Lavis

Gertie,

Wanted to share some pics you might want to post.

everyone with his talent.

He moves up to

us at the

trials to

compliment his & Bounce's great

behavior &

personalities.

give

full credit to

Brightjacks breeding!

I am hoping to start

Bounce

He needs some work

tunnels &

climbing that Sammie

has

learned in

agility.

BTW,

Sammie's

That will be a

hoot!

Best to you & Gonz

Stacy Orr

Gonzo and Gertie,

Just wanted to thank you for allowing Patti and myself the privilege of visiting your

home

and ken

els

today.

Being a long time Jack Russell owner I was blown away with

the fantastic

facilities you have.

And

your dogs

are without question the best I have

ever witnessed.

For you to have that many Jacks

and every single one got

along so

well it was overwhelming.

So glad we were patience for the last

2 yrs

waiting on a

puppy I know I will

extremely

happy with

the dog I bought today. I was so impressed

with

your facility and how clean and

well

kept

it was you

have definatly the best in the

business.

Thanks for

selling me the puppy

this morning cant

wait to get

her on March

21st.

I will try my best not to come up

and see

her

more than at least once a week.

Patti couldn't

be happier and neither could I. You are

defiantly

a 1st class operation

and you can tell

that

your heart is in it for

the right reason.

Your breeding and hand

picking who breeds who has

worked

out

very

well with some

beautiful

mild tempered

Jacks I have ever seen.

Thanks again Capt. Steve Sewell

Good morning Gertie,

Hope this message finds you well with lots of happy fur kids.

Just

wanted

send

few

pic

of the

girl

and

let

you know they are living

the life, both

are

completely

spoiled

rotten.

They have both grown so

fast.

They are

both

very

smart however

Bella

got the common

sense

and Zoey is (say)

book

smart

LOL

together there

isn't

much they

can't figure out or destroy!!!

They love the water and playing outside

but

are equally just as happy

curled

the

couch in

ving

room

with the rest of

our

pack.

We truly

enjoy

them

they

even

travel with us an the rest of

the gang.

I hope you

enjoy

them.

Thanks again

Dina

Dear Gertie and Gonzo - All is going great with Dash (Gulliver). He moved

right

in.

Fenmore

still

in the warming up phase.

At first Fenmore didn’t

want

to look

Dash, but now he will a little bit

(except in the picture from

when

first got

home).

Fenmore

growls at him if Dash gets too close

bothers

him,

but Dash

seems to be

getting

the idea that

he shouldn’t fool

with big

Fenmore.

Even

when

Dot was a

baby,

Fenmore

would avoid her

getting

onto high

places

where she

couldn’t

jump

and

bug him, but now

they

are the

best of

friends. Dot and

Dash

are playing a lot.

She

will

bring

him

her

toys and

start

the games.

Dash sleeps

very nicely in his spa

(kennel),

has

great appetite

and

of course is cute as a

button.

Of course

those

teeth

sure

are

sharp!

Thank

you

again and I will keep

you

updated!

Hello Gertie

We made it home in great shape. Rosie sat with Alyce for a little bit, then enjoyed the comfort of our friends

in the back seat.

I have been diligent about

taking her out approximately

every two hours, specially after she

sleeps. She has had no accidents as

of yet. She seems to like to cuddle with Alyce.

That is the whole idea.

You were right. Given our

circumstances, she was the bes

choice.

I will send you some photos in a couple

week when she hopefully is a little bigger. She slept most of the night in her crate.

Woke up,

started to cry,

went out and I put her next to Alyce in her bed. There she slept all cuddled up for

4 hours. Now, she is

running all over the house.

I just love her and cannot thank you enough for all your

sensitivety and thoughtfulness. I will certainly

keep in touch.

Joyce

Hello Gertie,

Just wanted to give you a quick update on "the little man" who we renamed Hudson. He is doing great, a

determined little guy

who is very smart and super affectionate; we could

not be more

pleased

with him.

Attached are a few pictures of him settling into

his new environment.

Thanks again for everything,

Seth Jameson

Hi,

Just wanted to drop you an e-mail to let you know that Fred (formerly Gerye)has really adjusted well.

He has picked up

housebreaking quickly and has learned how to sit, lay

and we’re

working on stay.

A lot of times we call him Freddie Chompers

because he really like to nip but I’m trying to break him of that

but I know his teeth really hurt.

He has a lot of chew toys

and

mainly chomps on those but does love to try

and grab your pant legs and hands (but we discourage that). He loves the car and

we bought him a doggie

car

seat which he loves because

it sits up high enough for him to see out the window. He’sdoing very

well with his

socialization

and

loves other dogs. He just discovered he has a

voice and now is protective in letting us

know

someone is near the house. His coat is coming in a BEAUTIFUL broken coat. He’s a little prickly around the

face and the

brokenness

is quite evenly distributed throughout the body.

We’ll try and send a picture when he

turns 4 months so you can

see how cute he’s turning out.

What a joy he’s been, and everyone who meets him

comments

how

handsome he is. Thanks for entrusting him to us.

Sincerely,

Charlotte Osborne and Kurt Hartman

Just a note to let you know that Buster Brown is doing fine. He goes to work with me and is doing well on

potty training. Tessie is thrilled when we come home so they can romp

and play.

The vet said he was healthy.

Thank you for letting me have

this sweet little guy. Irene

Dear Gertie,

Hello from Ho

e Sound! My husband (yes, the guy who did NOT want a dog) just sent me a pic of one of

your new pups!

The website is looking better than ever! So many great

photos.

Not a day goes by that I don't

thank you and your husband for

all you do! Jack (Delilah) and Teddy (Lariat) are the center of our life.

They give us endless hours of enjoyment,

happiness

and

sense of family. Thank goodness we did NOT listen

to those that told us Jack Russell's were horrible!

Jack and Teddy merely

ask for play, a run, nourishment

and

lots

of love which we gladly provide. They go everywhere with us and we seek out pet friendly

hotels

(Candlewood Suites) in

our numerous travels. Here at home,whether it be here in

Florida or on

Cape Cod,

we go to the beach,

parks and trails. Rest assured they bark at every dog they see and any intruder.

I am safe at all times!

Despite our best intentions, they DO sleep in the bed with us and have the run of the house.

The furniture is now shed proof.

We even put a bench in the bedroom in FL as the bed

was too

high for an EASY

jump!

They

are

so loving, smart beyond belief

and fun! Jackie loves her pool and Teddy is an avid lizard hunter.

I could go on and on about their individual

personalities.

Jack is ever in charge and Teddy the perpetual puppy!

I cannot begin to thank you for all you put in to these pups or the many others.

I simply know your efforts have

brought great joy to our lives and because of that we have a completeness to

our

family.

May

God bless you

and yours in all you do. Thank you Gertie, from just ONE of your happy families!

Love,

Jack, Teddy, Dan and

Elizabeth

e Sound FL/ Wellfleet MA

Lucy turned 1 on Sunday

She is still quite petite -less

than 10lbs.

However

with

her

energy level

and

the

fact

that

she

likes to pounce

us,

it is a

blessing.

She

remains

quite the

character

I wish I

had

just a

fraction

her

core

strength

and

muscle tone

She and

Arnie

have

reached

understanding,

however he still

occasionally

falls

victim to

her

playfulness

which

results

full

scale

"dog

fight".

when

he actually

tries to defend himself.

It is

getting better, we

can

all

now

nap

peacefully

together. She can

actually be

very sweet

and

cuddly when

she

wants

Gertie -

she

tells

that she wants to go

outside by licking our

faces

then

putting

her

mouth

around

our

wrist

She

doesn't give

us much

warning

but

she does try to

let

know. And, she

continues

eat

like a

horse.

She

very

motivated

by food. She is also very protective. Her

little

Alpha

personality is

sometimes

issue

when

are walking.

We are

seeing

some

improvement each

day.

I thought that you would all like to

see

how

she

has

matured. Her black spots are almost all tan now

just

the

one

her

back

remains. She certainly

looks

like her

daddy

Chewie. Take

care,

Kathy

Dear Gertie ~

Tim & I extend best wishes from us & the girls for a

blessed new

year!

Lucy

Ethel (formerly Carly &

Candy from Boomer & Cyndee)

are

definitely

living

to their

names!

They are

funny, playful and

above

all loving!

Lucy on the left, talks...ALOT! She's the thinker ~

the schemer.

She

likes

to sleep close by

~ yet

her

own,

in an

old antique bread

carrier

@ the end of

our bed. She

is also

known as

"The

Goose" or

when

particilarily

cranky...

Lucifer...joking of course.

Ethel on the far right, never begs

for food, has patience,

and in the

seldom

occasion

that she

barks,

it's

low

and

"full

bodied" ~ just like

her :

She

also

has

earned the

nickname

Snuggle

Bunny as

the

morning in

bed

she

takes

her

paws

and wraps them

around your

neck

gently, puts

her

head on

you

chest

and

deeps

sighs

~ hoping

for more time

in bed.

Our 14 yr

old Jack, Miss Pearl (middle) is on the

receiving end of a

lot

grooming

and

snuggling.

The girls

have

definitely

revived

her!

Thank you for our family additions ~ just when you

thought your

heart

couldn't

any fuller ~

they

come

into

your

life

and make

you burst

from

the

seams with

love.

our love ~

Cherie, Tim, Miss

Pearl, Lucy &

Ethel

Dear Mama Gertie and Papa Gonzo,

This is the strangest place I am now living. Last night

something

cold

and

white

fell

down when I

was

outside.

This

happened before.

It is very

cold

and

I have a

red

sweater

that my new mama

put

on me

won't

shake.

When

on the

ground it

is cold and

fun to

dig in and

bury my

nose.

new

mama

says it

called snow.

like to hunt

for walnuts. Today this

snow

was higher

than

me and

Mama Jeanne

used this

strange

thing

with

another

thing with

handle that she

says is called

broom. I like to pull

broom pieces out

of the bottom.

Mama

Jeanne

says

that soon we will be

going

where it is

warmer.

She

bought

me a

raincoat to

keep

dry

in the rain. It looks

pretty on me.

Give my love to my real mama and papa - Gracie and

Chewie.

Tell them

trying

to be a good

daughter,

but it is

hard because

I like to chew

Mama

Jeanne's

toes and

little teeth are sharp.

She makes a strange

sound like

ouch,

with licks.

Gessica

Dear Gertie,

We have welcomed a delightful puppy into our family. Judye has been renamed Sadye. She has

survived the

nor'

easter

jumping

through the

snow

and eating it. When a

ball or toy is

thrown

she

retrieves it. The

funny thing

is she jumps at the end of the rug to get her item that has

gone on the

hard wood floor. Christmas Eve she met

sister's

three

dogs. The

labs were

very

accepting

her and one took a very

protective

stance with her.

There was a

terrific bond

formed

between

Sadye and this one dog. They will

definitely have more play

dates.

Our

grandchildren

ages

one

and above

enjoyed

meeting her. At night she

sleeps seven hours in her crate.

She

awakes with

rattle to

her

door indicating she wants

to go out.

Mornings she is dry

and does her business

outside.

During the day she has

occasional

accidents but

does manage

to do

her business

outside.

With these high

winds and blowing snow

it's

difficult

demand

training.

She is a bundle of

love

and joy.

Best

wishes to you in the New

Year.

We are flexible like that.

Hi Gertie, just thought i would drop you a line and let you know how Boogye aka

Ranger is doing

He is just the

cutest

baby

and

we all have fallin in love with him.

His personality is really starting to

come out and he is

a very

funny little

guy.

loves going to

Home Depot with Mike and of course everyone falls all over him.

We took

him

to his first

FSU

tailgate

and he

was

definitely

hit!

Don't worry

didn't

let him

near the beer! ha ha

Anyway just

wanted

update you on his status. Our vet continues to tell us what

a great little guy we got!

But we

already

knew that.

Thank you so much for breeding

such a wonderful

companion

Brightjacks is a wonderful source for "Shortie Jack Russells" The puppies

are

well

Unlike some

kennels,

there is no urine or

puppy

odors -

very

clean. The puppies

are well

adjusted. Gertie keeps

excellent

detailed

records.

Extra attention is

given

to each

My friend, Jeanne and I spent a wonderful two hours with

ertie and

her family

. These people know

their Jacks

and I have never seen such

a clean and organized facility.

The puppies were all wonderful.

I had a hard time

criticizing

confirmation, color and character. Thank you for

a terrific experience.

Jonnie

Outstanding experience!! Could not be happier with the whole process from beginning to end. Gertie

was

awesome

to work with and her passion

for her Jack's is unparalleled!

I strongly recommend any one

interested

in buying a

jack look no further than here! Mike Yontz

I researched and looked at shorties for approx year before I purchased my shortie with confidence from

Brightjacks.

I am very pleased with

my choice! Donna Berry

Thank you G

tie for allowing us to visit your home and share your love of the

rightjacks. I am impressed with

the your attention and

organization in raising these puppies. Each mom and her liter seem so happy and content

with the attention they receive. I am amazed how

everyone puppy, from the youngest puppy to your adults are

clean,

happy

and

have a zest for life. Your commitment to the quality and p

fection

is validated by meeting

you

and seeing your place and the puppies. How do you do it?

Excited to bring my

new

addition home!!

I thought I would send you an update on little Lucy. She is doing

beautifully-

smart,

funny,

very busy and

quite

the celebrity. I have given so

many

horse

shows

require

huge

amount

walking; for Lucy

the distances

must

be 10 times

that of a

human. We

have built

puppy

pen outside the

barn

for

Lucy,

Boston

Terrier

puppy, and

some

cute

little

Japanese

puppy.

She uses it

as it is

supposed to be used. She is in and out of the pool all

the

time!

Thanks

always for my dear

little

friend. She and Jasper have

become

quite

attached

one another

if she

doesn't

nibble

on him to

much.

Fondly

Janie

Dear Gertie,

The last several weeks have been such a lot of fun, largely due to dear little

Lucy.

With

the

exception of

perhaps two

hours, we have been within

several

non-

another.

She

stop

with

Jasper & Baby. Lucy loves

goes to the

bar,

stores,

her

puppy

the

classes, out for

barn, the

walks, and

horses and,

especially,

manure

treats. She has

just

learned "Leave It"

thank goodness! She loves

everyone,

and

everyone loves her.

I am

VERY lucky

to have her in our

lives. I truly think

she is the

smartest

dog

have

ever had.

She is

taught

something once and then she

usually

has

it.

Her

house

training

going as

well as I

get her outside.

None

her few

accidents are

hers,

mine

entirely.

Oh & she"s already been

restaurant

snuck

in a large

handbag.

She just sat in my lap the whole time

fast asleep.

Lucy adores me and never

ventures

too

be the center of her life

and I so

love

that.

Her

uber-

cute look is when she wants something and she

sits

cocking her

head from one side to

another.

I will

you some

right now she is asleep and

Thank

you so very

Hi Gertie!

Just wanted to let you know how Drifter is doing. He is a great puppy, thanks so much for helping me find

him.

I just adore him.

He is turning into a

great little farm

dog and has

already been

two horse shows.

I'm really happy with his temperment and attitude

towards life. I'm really enjoying him

and I think he is very

happy too! Ashley

Gertie

is the best! We bought two pups last fall after a tragic snake bite death to one of our other jacks

these

two are the most amazing

of all our 5

jacks! Beautiful,

smart, with

personality

galore.

And, after

buying before

from a NJ breeder, I found Gertie to be the most professional, thorough and

honest

breeder around.

She loves

her

dogs and it shows

them! We will always

buy our pups from Gertie from now on.

ou may not remember me, but myself and my now ex-husband "adopted" two amazing puppies from you.

Echo,

who

replaced

Madison, is now

nearly 4 years old and

Holly,

my little

Christmas

baby,

is 3

1/2

years old.

They

are

doing

splendidly and are

going through some training now that

I am

the sole owner. It's so crazy that

they

learn so

quickly!

They're the

perfect

pets

and

the

most

loving animals

I've

ever seen.

Plus, it's

great

receive

complements

every where

go. Nobody can believe

that

they're

Jack Russells

because that's

supposed

to be

the

crazy

dog!

For

anyone

out there

considering

Gertie and Bright Jacks,

have no reservations -

you will

receive

a lifelong friend

through her. They

are well-bred

and

have the most

amazing

personalities -

even

though

my two are complete

opposites

each

other,

regardless of them

sharing the same father!

Thank you again for

everything. I

always

recommend you

highly. Sincerely,

Christin

I can't thank you enough for opening up your home of beautiful Shorties to us today. My girls and I were very

impressed

with

your facilities,

as well

as your love and

knowledge

of this

special

breed.

I was amazed

by their

disposition

and cute

personalities,

was expecting the high strung

Jack

Russells that I have encountered in

the

past, but your dogs

were

so well behaved.

They are

truly the

best

of both worlds, intelligent

with

individual

personality,

without

being annoying like their rubber

band was wound too tight that you

see in

other Jack Russells.

On another note... for those of you that are nervous about buying a dog over the internet, I can personally assure

you that you will not find

a better

breeder, or facility.

These

Shortie

Jacks

are

truly raised

with love,

and have

everything

they

could possibly desire. (It is obvious that

all of their dogs

are properly spoiled and treated like

true

family

members,

which is

what

I feel

leads to

their pleasant

dispositio)

As you can see in

the photos, their

dogs are

beautiful, but

unfortunately

you can't

see

the

most impressive

quality of the Brightjack Shortie

and that

is their

wonderful

dispositions.

future

buyer

of a

Brightjack

Shortie, you can

take my word that

these dogs

are loving

raised, and

excellently cared for,

and you

can be

confident

that the dog

you purchase will

be of

the

out

most

quality,

and have the

personality

to steal your

heart from day

one.

Best

Regards, Darin

It's hopeless! Here I am 3 years after purchasing my two jack russels from Gertie and still visiting her website.

I HIGHLY recommend

Brightjacks'

anyone looking

for the

perfect jack.

I love my Bella and Huck more

everyday. They are intelligent, loving and more fun than

I could ever have

imagined. What a wonderful breeder

Gertie

is;

not to

mention she is

a sweetheart!! Sincerely Debbie Wallace

I was browsing on top listed and just thought I would drop a line to say how much I like your philosophy.

It mirrors my own. I too believe

structure

is of as much

importance as

temperament.

compete

dogs

in many

sport

venues

and without proper structure for movement,

breakdown and

training issues can occur

because of

discomfort in

performing

certain

task.

Thanks so

much for looking out for these great

dogs! It's nice to know

there are others out there like me, with these dogs best interest in mind, not

just a dollar

amount!

Gina Snow of Swanback Jacks

We can not say enough about our Pup DJ who we purchased from Gertie 8 months ago. He is the best dog.

His personality is great and he is

on his

way in training

to become a

Pet Therapy

Dog. He is lovable and

very

calm. Hats off to Gertie. We are considering getting another pup

from them in

the future. DJ deserves a

friend!

Thanks for breeding

such

a great dog!

Kevin

and Jean Kozel

We purchased a female Brightjack Shortie from Gertie in December 2008. She is now almost 8 months old.

Her name is Roxy and we absolutely

LOVE her!

We were

probably the

"pickiest"

buyers ever and I can

honestly

tell you we couldn't have made a better choice with breeders.

Gertie was

wonderful to buy from,

answered as

many

questions

we had,

and

took as much

time

over the phone as we needed to make our

decision.

Our dog is

a beauty

and

her

temperament

lovely.

She is playful,

without being

aggressive.

Curious,

without

being trouble.

And

loving,

without

being a

shadow.

We also

have

a 3-yr old Norwich Terrier

and they are

the

best of friends.

Without

knowing

initially if I

wanted

2nd

dog,

definitely

made the

right

choice.

Thank

you

Gertie for all that you do and strive

to do.

Your

efforts are noticed!

Hi Gertie:

Just wanted you to see how Jaci-lyn is doing. We LOVE her so much, she is attached

to me by the hip

ALL

THE

TIME.

She

my lap as

I type

this.

She loves

her

brother Jack & has made herself the

"Boss".

She just loves

all the Dogs here at

Sun=n=Fun Resort. She loves the dog

par

riding in the

Jack

Mobile

(golf

cart)

She

sits,

gives her paw for a treat. She gets so

proud when we let her off the

ease

tell

her

Home,

she

runs

to the door

sits.

She also kisses

her brother. Our Vet

says she is

the perfect

little

jack,

has

never

seen

one

like her. Gertie

thank you for letting us

adopt her, would

love another one, maybe

one

day.

I'll

keep in

touch

send

holiday pics. Have a Wonderful

Thanksgiving,

Sissy

The whole "Brightjacks" experience was phenomenal! From the very

beginnings

just

chatting with

Gertie (like talking to a long

lost

friend)

about

making my

selection,

to her

encouraging me to

"surprise"

hubby

with two

instead of

one, to

the arrival

and early

care

of my two

little

darlings,

the

experience

was

magical.

two little

girls are beautiful

and

healthy and get an extreme amount of

attention

from

all

who

see them.

They are the

epitome

of the perfect Jack.

If I had more

room

I'd

get a

couple

from Gertie -

buying

from

"Brightjacks"

could

addictive.

I still look at the

website

check

out the new little ones.

Gertie is a top

notch

breeder

and

produces

the

best

"jacks" you can find. Just

check

out

the other

websites

like I

did

and

you

will easily see the

difference.

Many,

many thanks

Gertie

for making

such

difference in

my life.

I LOVE

you!!!!

Sincerely,

Judy

Stapleton
