Brighthelm Jack Russells, established in 1974, is a premier breeder of Jack Russell Terriers located in Warrumbungle, NSW. Founded by Sarah Gaffikin, Brighthelm has a rich history that began in Brighton, UK, where the original three Jack Russells were brought to Australia, leading to a lineage that continues to thrive today. With a commitment to excellence, Brighthelm has been at the forefront of Jack Russell breeding in Australia, introducing Jack Russell Racing to New South Wales in the early 1980s and producing numerous Australian Champions, obedience title holders, and endurance dogs.
At Brighthelm, we prioritize the health and temperament of our dogs, ensuring that all our Jack Russells are certified clear of known hereditary issues through Orivet DNA testing. Our breeding program focuses on maintaining the integrity of the breed while fostering outgoing and friendly temperaments. We take pride in our long-standing bloodlines, which we believe are among the most established in Australia. Although we currently do not have any puppies for sale, we are dedicated to providing future owners with healthy, well-bred companions.
As a founding and life member of the Jack Russell Terrier Club of NSW Inc. and the Secretary of the Rylstone Kandos Dog Club, Sarah Gaffikin is deeply involved in the dog breeding community. Brighthelm Jack Russells is not just a business; it is a passion that has been nurtured for decades, ensuring that every dog bred under the Brighthelm name is a testament to quality and care. For those interested in joining our community, we encourage you to apply for a puppy when available and experience the joy of owning a Brighthelm Jack Russell.
