THE MEYNELL PHILOSOPHY
“I like a clever terrier, no matter what his job is; courage is a must but it is useless without cleverness.”
GREG MOUSLEY · MEYNELL SUNDANCE
RASTUS · THE FOUNDATION OF THE MEYNELL BLOODLINE
THE MEYNELL BLOODLINE
More Than 95 Years of History
At the heart of Meynell Sundance lies a bloodline shaped by generations of working terriers. Its foundations can be traced through Rastus, a remarkable terrier born in the Meynell Hunt Kennels whose breeding combined generations of Meynell and South Staffs blood.
Greg Mousley could trace Rastus’ breeding back more than 95 years. More importantly, Rastus embodied the qualities Greg valued in a working Jack Russell Terrier — intelligence, courage, character and the ability to do the job for which he was bred.
WORKING ABILITY · INTELLIGENCE · CHARACTER
"Jack Russells are tough, rambunctious and highly intelligent dogs–if able to push the limit of affection with their characters"
