What makes JRTCA breeders different?

We don’t just breed dogs—we preserve a working breed.
Every breeding is done with purpose, not just availability.
That means fewer litters… and higher standards.

That’s what preserves the real Jack Russell Terrier.
That's what makes 50 years of the JRTCA.

Another Museum Trial in the books. It was good to see old friends and meet some new members.
The Museum BOD would like to thank all the volunteers, participants and judges! We couldn’t do this without your help and support.
In addition, the BOD extends a big thank you to the Stock family for donating items for prizes, raffle and the live auction from the estate of Don and Gail Stock. The Stocks were long time members of the JRTCA who bred and showed their terriers.
