DanBar Ranch
in loving memory of Dan and Barbara Jessup
A Small Hobby Kennel and Poultry Farm
"Where dogs are family!"
DanBar Ranch is a tribute to my beloved parents, Daniel and Barbara Jessup, long-time residents of West Seattle, WA. Dad was a captain for United Air Lines and mom worked tirelessly to give us kids a clean, safe, intelligent and loving home. Because of them, I was able to retire to the country and "live the dream" which is DanBar Ranch. Thanks, mom and dad, for instilling in me my love and respect for all animals, my ethics and my common sense - the best gifts parents can give their kids. They were pure class. I hope where ever they are they can see into my heart and know how much I love them.

Good Temperament, Good Health
And Old Fashioned Integrity
I've retired from 20 years as an animal control officer. My entire life has been dedicated to dogs, and you can read about my dog training and life as an author and international speaker on dogs HERE.
I am not a commercial kennel. I breed for myself, as my passion is producing a line of healthy, sound, useful Import-bred Dobermans and working type cairn terriers. But I can't keep them all, so a few select pups are available usually in spring and summer. I love to share my kids with those who will love them as family, and those who appreciate the very finest in the breeder's art.
I don't breed for "show wins" - the world of fads and exaggeration. I like old fashioned, useful, down to earth dogs.

I invite your inspection of my dogs, my ranch and my health testing results. I exceed most legitimate breeder's standards. Demand breeder's prove their claims! This site is designed to help you educate yourself on what questions to ask breeders.
Daniel Jessup and Barbara Clark Jessup when they were first dating. After her death my father added the note at bottom right which reads: Oct 1948 we met. Oct 2013 Barbie went on ahead. He passed exactly one year later.

PLEASE READ!
Due to my stenosis returning to my crush my spinal column, I can only walk a few feet at a time. I simply can't respond to all the emails I get and for this I deeply apologize. Please understand that just because I could not provide you a puppy does NOT mean you weren't a great home - I just get HUNDREDS more inquiries than I have puppies, as I am a hobby breeder and produce very few puppies. HUNI IS PREGNANT!!!!!
CHICKEN FOLKS I AM FORCED TO SELL MY ENTIRE STOCK OF MORGAN WHITEHACKLES due to lack of help. Email me if you are interested in buying 2 brood cocks and 12 brood hens. Helluva deal as these are very rare heritage birds and with them goes a list of eager buyers who have been waiting for eggs or birds I simply can't give them the care I want to and can't get any help.
I breed old fashioned, smart as hell, stubborn, vermin hunting Cairn terriers. Special emphasis on TRUE hard coat - not a long, silky coat that needs to be plucked out to look like a cairn. Fantastic temperament. Love kids. See what the most famous breeder of cairn terriers, Melita Wood said about cairn coats HERE.
But first and foremost, my dogs are my family... and I have built them their own private "dog park" on 20 fenced acres.
