Welcome
 

Welcome to Hickory Hills JackS. My name is Elly Stremsterfer and we are glad you found us. Growing up, my family always had a Jack Russell, the long legged ones. Buck was the first, followed by Minnie Pearl, and Rimshot. When we got married we purchased our first Jack Russell together. Hank was a Parson's Jack and full of energy. He stayed with us through three moves and our daughter being born. When he passed unexpectedly in 2011, it left a big hole in our hearts. We moved into our current home  following year and waited to get settled before finding the right Jack Russell to add to our family.

 

My husband and I started raising Shortie Jacks back in 2013, when we purchased Annie from Russellville Farms in Louisiana. We knew right away that this was the perfect fit for our life. She fit right in and our kids loved her dearly. We love our dogs and puppies so much and look forward to each litter. It is an opportunity to teach our kids responsibility and priorities.

​

We raise  our JackS on our farm in southeast Iowa. We raise commercial cattle as well as commercial Boer goats. Sydney and Jackson enjoy showing goats. This year, they both showed pigs and cattle. 

 

 

A little about Elly
I work full time as the Youth Director/Administrative Assistant at our church, where I am in charge of all youth activities. I also substitute at my kids' school some. It is always good to be able to check in on your kiddos. :) I lead our children's Clover Kid and 4H Groups, and do a variety of other volunteer work. I enjoy running, well it keeps me sane. I am the schedule keeper of everyone and manage to schedule some time for myself...not often enough though.
