Welcome to Butterball Kennel

Excellence in Every Litter, Love in Every Puppy

I’m Jodi Gray, breeder, owner, and preserver of Butterball Kennel. Russell Terriers have been a part of our family for more than 40 years, and I am proud to continue that tradition by breeding, raising, and showing quality AKC Russell Terriers.

We actively compete in AKC Conformation events throughout the Southeast and have proudly campaigned many of our Russells to their AKC Champion titles. Our breeding program focuses on producing healthy, beautiful, and well-tempered dogs that can succeed in the show ring while also becoming devoted family companions.

Whether you are searching for a promising show prospect or a loving pet, I take great care in helping each family find the puppy that best fits their home and lifestyle. I am always happy to answer questions, share my experience, and help others learn more about this intelligent, affectionate, and entertaining breed.

At Butterball Kennel, our commitment does not end when your puppy goes home. We remain available to offer guidance and support throughout your dog’s life.
