Foxfield Jack Russell Testimonials

Sue, I would like to thank you for filling my heart with joy once again; you truly do make dreams come true one pup at a time.

I would like to tell my story, and quest, to ease the pain of the loss of my best friend of thirteen years "Addy", a Beagle, like no other. After a year of missing the companionship that a pet lends you, I decided it was time to fill the hole, in my heart, which Addy had left, through no fault of her own. After much research, it was decided that a Russell terrier would be the pet that would be asked to fill the shoes of that super Beagle. These would not be easy shoes to fill; you see I raised Beagles for thirty years under the kennel name of Ferrwood’s. I had judged many, many AKC trials, therefore my heart belonged to the merry little hound, but my age told me I needed something smaller requiring less maintenance and that was when I decided on the Russell terrier.

OK, I decided on the breed, now the decision was to find a breeder. That is where Google came into play, and the hundreds of hits I needed to decipher in my quest to find my next best friend. I emailed many breeders which I found via the search engine, most breeders never responded to my questions, and those that did were not friendly; it seemed like I was wasting their time except for one, Sue Sobel. Her response to my email touched my heart with her sincere concern for the loss of my buddy Addy. Let me be very clear; I didn’t know Sue at this time, nor had I ever met her at this point. But I knew she was a breeder that I wanted to learn more about because of her response to my email, and I have no regrets.

Sue assured me that she would supply me with a pup that was up to the task of filling the shoes that Addy left behind. I will be honest, I doubted that could be possible; I know how hard it is to breed temperament and other traits into a dog, and Addy had them all. However, Sue delivered on her promise with a little girl we named Foxfield’s Maddy. Maddy stole my heart from the first day I saw her; she is as sweet as they come. Of course she will never replace the love I had for my Beagle Addy. Maddy, however, is doing her best to try, and she is succeeding.

As for Suzy, she and I have become good friends, I highly recommend her if you are looking to fill a dream. Sue Sobel is the real deal, an animal lover like no other, a breeder of quality Russell terriers which I would highly recommend; she filled my dream with the sweetest little girl now known as Maddy, which loves me to death, as I do her. Thanks Suzy…for just being you!

My new best friend Michaela is everything I could have wanted in a puppy and so much more. That's all due to the expertise of Suzy Sobel. Its a pleasure to get to know Suzy and her dogs. She treats each puppy as a family member and provides the best possible environment for them to develope. You can trust Suzy. She always puts her dogs first and is an expert at getting the perfect fit for an owner and puppy. Her service is worth every penny because all details are taken care of for you and you can be assured that you will go home with a wonderful, healthy, well-adjusted puppy! I know that Suzy's interest and care for my puppy and others goes far beyond the initial sale and together we will continue to explore, enjoy and be mystified by these wonderful dogs for years to come.

Sue, Jessie and I would like to share with you the wonderful things that have happened to us now that Rex (a.k.a. Reeces Pieces) is a part of our family. Rex has given us much happiness and we are looking forward to many more joyful years to come. On the days I come home from work, he relieves my stress. Jessie gets her energy back whenever she sees Rex greeting her hello. He has only been with us for a week and one thing thats impresses me the most is his intelligence. He does his business on the wee pads and pays attention to words I say. He communicates with us when he wants to play or if he's hungry. On the 2nd day we had him he already learned his name and comes running to us everytime we call. He also learned basic commands like sit, stay and come. Besides being smart, Rex has become a celebrity in my neighborhood. He is very friendly to people and to other dogs. In fact, we get stopped every time we walk him because of his handsome look and calm temperment. People just want him !!! We just got back from the Vet and he told me that he is a very healthy dog. Your puppies are highly recommended by us! Sue, we thank you for bringing Rex into our life!

Sue, where to start about our first week with Lucy? From our first visit to Foxfield Farm to look for a "jack" for our daughter Susanne in California, we sensed that we had found the breeder for her and us. She eventually got Eli who she took back with her and who is the energizer, companion, and buddy her aging jack, Hercules, needed and who goes to work with her and him in Hollywood. We got Lucy last week and she is everything we wanted for us and Archie (our older jack), after we lost our Zoe in February, and he became noticeably lonely. Talk about personality and temperment...she's got them! We didn't know how Archie would react after being an only dog for about two months but her arrival took care of that. Even though his world has gotten a little more hectic he is learning to tolerate her and her companionship and presence were just what he needed. Lucy has the great combination of that wonderful jack bounce and is a sweet and affectionate lapdog for the quiet times. We love her as a puppy and go from not wanting her to ever grow up to not being able to wait to see what she'll look like grown up and how much fun that will be. As you told us, and we knew from raising four jacks, temperment is so important and, from our introduction to Lucy we are very comfortable and happy about our decision to get a Foxfield Jack Russell Terrier! We know our daughter Susanne feels the same way!

Being veterans of 3 Jack Russell Terriers over a 20 year period, we knew specifically what we were hoping to find, as well as not find in searching for a new addition to our family. Our main goal was to end up with a lovely companion with a wonderful easy going temperament that would still have the great qualities jacks are known for. From the first time we spoke with Sue, she assured us we would end up with the puppy that was right for us. Boy was she right! She listened to our needs, spent time talking and getting to know us, and welcomed us to visit her dogs. When we saw 7 of her dogs playing nicely with the barn cat, we knew immediately we were in the right place. Since birth, Sue kept us updated at every stage of the puppies development and helped us make an informed decision when choosing the right puppy. Now at 15 weeks old, our little "Josie" is exactly what we were looking for! Sweet, loving, good natured, very smart and quite the looker too! Sue really cares about her dogs and where they are going as much as the needs of future owners. I have recommended her several times and will contnue to as people always ask us where to get a dog just like Josie! If and when our girl gets a little brother we know he will come from Foxfield Farm. Thank you for everything Sue!

I can't say enough about Suzy, her fabulous Jack Russell Terriers, and the immaculate horse farm she keeps in Bohemia, Long Island. I was accompanying a friend who was looking for a Jack Russell puppy the day I first visited Foxfield Farm. I was so very impressed by Suzy's adorable, affectionate and well mannered little dogs that I knew I had found the perfect canine match for my own family! Suzy kept me informed almost daily while I waited for Coco's litter to be born and grow old enough to take home our gorgeous little male. Suzy has even remained available for "training support" in the months since. We love our Foxfield puppy and at 5 months can already see evident the wonderful disposition and calm temperament that is core to Suzy's breeding program.

Suzy has a true understanding and affection for dogs, she cares strongly for each one of her puppies and makes sure they go to the right home. I felt very comforted by Suzy's caring about my having the right puppy and I found him in Billy. He's sweet, playful, affectionate and so smart! He wags his tail at the whole world and people smile at him along the street. I feel Suzy knew we'd hit it off and I am truly grateful!

The first time I talked to Suzy on the phone I knew I wanted a puppy from her. Her dedication to choosing dogs with only the best temperment and her love of the breed was clear from our first conversation. Then I went to see her dogs and I fell in love. Every "Foxfield" Jack Russell is a gem. Sweet, lovable and ready for fun! The love and attention she gives her dogs makes for excellent puppies,they are full of love and ready for their new families. I have a puppy from Suzy now and I am head over heels! She is sweet and easy going and adorable! I am forever grateful that I found Suzy and her wonderful Jacks!
