Dbf Russell Terriers

DBF Russell Terriers, run by veterinarian Candace Lundin, DVM, and Frank Zureick, has been breeding AKC Russell terriers in Middletown, Virginia since 2002. The program sits in the northern Shenandoah Valley, roughly an hour southwest of Washington, D.C., and represents one of the longer-running Russell terrier programs in the region.

The kennel's show record is among the most extensive in the breed. DBF dogs have earned titles at Westminster, Crufts, the World Dog Show, the European Dog Show, and the Montgomery County Kennel Club Terrier Show, among others. The program has produced over 100 AKC champions, including the first male and female champions in Russell terrier breed history, as well as the first Canadian Best in Show Russell. D.B.F. Stanley Cup earned the Junior World Winner title in Helsinki in 2014, and D.B.F. Colorado Rocky Mountain High claimed the National Specialty in 2022.

Candace Lundin's background as a veterinarian informs the program's approach, and the kennel's sires and dams page lists an extensive roster of titled dogs spanning multiple generations. Puppies are raised in the breeder's home and introduced to litter box training from three weeks of age. For those searching for Russell terrier puppies in Virginia with a documented conformation pedigree, DBF represents a program with a verifiable multi-decade record in the breed.
