Welcome to the Cumbreck website.
We hope you enjoy having a look around and getting to know a little about us and our dogs, in 2024 we celebrated 25 years since we registered our first Jack Russell in the IKC, the first and only stud to be invited to register our English bloodline when we lived in the UK.
Our kennel name comes from an amalgamation of Cumbria and Caldbeck (my old JRTCGB affix which couldn't be registered with the KC due to a breeder in Australia having it on another breed.
Cumbreck have been a family strain of terriers since 1806 and an established line since 1950. Also Formerly known as Caldbeck JRT's a prefix which i own within the JRTCGB who we are no longer affiliated with due to changing to IKC in 1999 and the JRTCGB has very different views to KC recognition some of which i fully understand and respect but some i do not.
We have been and continue to be a life member of the Irish Kennel Club/FCI since 1999, our Cumbreck prefix/affix is registered both in the UK Kennel Club and Irish/FCI and Bulgarian/FCI.
We are fully compliant with all microchipping laws and all dogs have been identified at time of registration from the very start of IKC holding assessments, that is over 25 years of microchipped and verified dogs, all our dogs have Pet Passports and are health screened.
All our dogs are IKC registered, and some are KC registered (co-owned) or Bulgarian registered.
As you go through our website you will find out all about our dogs heritage, all about us the Gibson family and all our current dogs, our news and our latest plans.
After suffering many personal health battles and a round of intensive treatments which made me lose all 34" of my hair! a shock in itself to someone who loves their locks, we decided a total life change was much needed. We will be back out showing dogs when we can but for the last few years it's been mostly on the back burner and our stud has dramatically became smaller due to my health, but we have quietly been working on a more focused direction with our plans incorporating old established trusted lines from around the world with our own to ensure a healthy gene pool and a continuing excellence which we strive for........so for those thinking we had disappeared we can assure you we have not and we aim to be at shows at some point representing our dogs, win or lose.
We do hope you enjoy your visit!
