If you are choosing a dog for the first time
It is hard to know what dog is the right companion for you. Let us help by introducing the Jack Russell Terrier and discussing the kind of care and home a Jack needs to thrive.
Let's assume, you have read all this, consulted the oracles and have decided a JRT is the dog for you! (Who can blame you?) In that case we encourage you to choose a responsible breeder;
do not buy from a pet store.
The Website, Membership and Registry forms have been updated
to reflect the new Logo and contact information. As 2010 draws to a close we reflect on all that has happened this year. We
hosted and participated in many events aimed to raise awareness of the Jack
Russell Terrier and the unique requirements of these little white dogs. All this
cumulated in the National Trial which was, once again, a big success and
showcased some of the very best terriers Canada and the USA have to offer.
Racing was exciting, the brush hunt and Go-to-Ground were beautifully laid out
and our conformation judge Ted Harris (UK) was initiated into a beautiful
Canadian season and made sure that our collection of Jack Russell Terriers were
carefully scrutinized. The 2010 AGM saw the election of a new President, Debbie
Mahon, as well as some new faces added to the Board of Directors.
Some sad news also came out of 2010. We lost Mikel
Dander a long time breeder of the auspicious Foxport Kennel and founding member
of the JRTCC. courtesy of Debbie Mahon Alley was rescued by Dave and family when she was just a puppy, found abandoned in a bar parking lot.
Now a year and a half old, she and Dave and his hawks are an expert rabbit hunting team. by Shirley Buist, November 2009 A number of Canadian Jack Russell Terrier owners and breeders made the trek to Maryland for the
Jack Russell Terrier Club of America National Trial. Canadian terriers can still hold their own against
the toughest competition in North America. The Jack Russell Terrier had double ambassadors at the show this year, with JRTCC and JRTRO members staffing 2 booths where people could visit and learn about the little guys.
Here is a list of the Volunteers who staffed the JRTCC booth: Sally Holmes, Rose Reid, Gaye Redpath, Elyse Dinsmore, Shirley Buist, Kay Seawright & Family, Bill & Carol Smart, Chris Wardell, Rosie VanBemmel & Family, Debby MacFarlane and Sue Lubchynski. When you see these helpful people, say thanks, because without them, we would not have been able to successfully run the booth! -- Thanks from Bob Boyd, President & Pam Chiappetta, Registrar. by Fran Jensen, September 2008 Although there were only 8 JRTs in attendance, 6 of the 8 managed to finish in the top 10 of their classes at the Agility Association of Canada National Championships, held in mid-August 2008 in Sussex, New Brunswick. Young Oliver was taken from his yard in Windsor on the morning of May 19, 2007. For weeks, his owner Melissa tried everything: postering, calling
vets to see if anyone called him in, calling pet stores, humane society and
even the JRTCC. On June 12, Oliver made the evening news and from that came the miracle phone call: Oliver was Found! In Melissa’s words, here’s what happened: So the Rule of Russells is:
Never Give Up . Harper was adopted through the JRTRO in September 2004. In December 2006, his owner was walking her dogs in a park in Guelph, when tragically, Harper was caught in an illegally set conibear trap, and died. The Ministry of Natural Resources (Ont) is In January of 2006, Janice Blakeney, the Horse Show Co-ordinator for The Royal Winter Fair in Toronto approached the JRTCC, asking us to do a JRT Racing Demonstration at the Fair. As many of you know, we have done events at the Royal for years, however, this was something special. This agreement offers members on both sides of the border a cost savings to dual register their terriers in both countries, allowing their dogs to participate in National and Regional trials. In order to take advantage of this opportunity, you need to be a current member of both clubs.
The registration/recording forms have also been reorganized to make it easier for members/new members to find the
documentation they require to join the club and record/register their terriers.
An Open House in honour of Mikel will be held on Sunday, January 2nd from 2:00 to 4:00pm at 26 Ontario Street in Guelph.
We also said a collective farewell to the great Fox Run Rivet of
Conquest. A long time companion and partner of Gaye Redpath he influenced the
breed like no other Canadian Terrier. While Rivet legacy lives on his many
descendants his passing was felt deeply by those who loved him. A tribute to
Rivet can be found here.

Oliver was returned home that night, home safe and sound.
We had
so much response [from the news item] that we were running all over the city...At about 9:30 we
had a call from a lady 7 blocks away in an apartment building saying that
some tenants had a dog that looked like the dog on
the News and she swears it’s him. So we went down there. My husband
knocked, she opened the door and when Ollie heard my husband’s voice, he came
running at us. The lady says "Hey that’s my dog." My husband replies it’s our
dog and we’ll be back with the police. Everyone was crying the landlady
included. He’s so skinny and acting a little scared but he’s home and safe
now and that’s all that counts really.MEMORIAL TO HARPER
investigating, but to date no charges have been laid. As a tribute to Harper, we republish here the Memorial to Harper from the JRT Rescue website.
