After january 1st 2009 Star Valley NO longer registered Russell Terriers with UKC 2001 to 2008
2011 akc no longer accepts UKC registrations for the Russell Terrier

Jan 2009 would have been our 8 year anniversary since the Russell was recognized by the UKC. Star Valley dogs had the privilege of entering the UKC as foundation stock with the most purple ribbon quality breeding stock . Being part of our roots and heritage, Star Valley's pedigrees date back to 1961 and our original dogs that we imported from England. We have had a wide variety of Top Ten Russell Terriers but at the moment Int. ARBA GRCH Star Valley Ellana Rigby still holds the record for Top 10 points with 159 points. Most of our Purple Ribbon foundation dogs have been championed or hold grand champion titles. Our imported lines have also been championed in the UKC before we have bred them to our lines. We have several different winning combinations here in the USA to offer.
