JACK RUSSELL TERRIER CLUB of AMERICA) Is a Type of Working Terrier That Meets Those Conformational Standards That Are Functionally Sound for Earth Work
The TRUE JRT The JRT as recognized by the JRTCA (JACK RUSSELL TERRIER CLUB OF AMERICA) is a type of working terrier that meets those conformational standards that are functionally sound for earth work. The True Jack Russell Terrier may be any height between 10" and 15" (at the shoulder), it may vary in coats, markings, type, and for sure personality... they are ALL real Jack Russell Terriers. There is no "ideal"... the "ideal" is what suits their owner for what they want/need to do with their terrier. That is the uniqueness of this diverse terrier. The diversity within the JRTCA breed standard is what makes the Jack Russell Terrier suitable for a variety of working and performance abilities - in contrast with the narrow, cosmetic breed standards of many show breeds. The "Russell Terrier" and the "Parson Russell Terrier" are both variants of the Jack Russell Terrier made into "separate breeds" by the American Kennel Club (AKC). They are variants of the original Jack Russell Terrier as always supported by the JRTCA. The JRTCA standard includes the full range of sizes needed for earth work. It is to be known our standard is to allow a terrier to follow the red fox to ground. The dog needed the drive and structure to mirror the agile intelligent fox. The Jack Russell Terrier had to be able to outsmart the fox and have the courage to do so for the handler as a team. The true Jack Russell Terrier has been preserved as a working dog. Every effort has been made to eliminate and prevent genetic defects/faults within the JRTCA registry. -

Carding Or Hand-Stripping?
Should Your Dog be Carded or Hand-Stripped? Many K9 guardians must groom their own dogs because of the coronavirus shutdown. So EquiGroomer wants to help make your grooming smarter, not harder! For example, does your canine need carding or hand-stripping? If you are like many dog owners, you are suddenly finding yourself faced with grooming your dog while many grooming businesses remain on lockdown as non-essential businesses. With the arrival of spring and even summer temperatures, many are challenged with effectively grooming their dog’s undercoat and topcoat after the long winter. With more daylight hours and warmer temperatures, shedding dogs are a big issue right now. So, does your dog need carding, hand-stripping, both or neither one? (Hint: they are not the same thing.) Before you decide, we will take a quick look at each process separately. The Dog’s Undercoat: Carding Carding is a grooming term - and process - to describe the removal of a dog’s undercoat. The undercoat is the soft, short, downy and dense hair under the top (or outer) coat. The undercoat insulates and protects the skin in colder weather. Carding is accomplished by using: • A fine-toothed blade; • A stripping knife; • An undercoat rake; or • Another shedding tool like the gentle EquiGroomer’s Shedding Blades (pictured below). The shedding tool will grab, pull and remove (or thin out) the dead or molted undercoat hair which may not fall out on its own with the warmer temperatures. Removing this heavier winter undercoat will also help your canine stay comfortable - and cooler – in the heat. -
Sometimes God Picks the Prettiest Flowers
Sometimes God Picks the Prettiest Flowers Eulogy to Ch. Gaelforce Postscript "Peggy Sue" By Dr. Vandra L. Huber©i I'm afraid misfortune of devastating proportions has hit our house. On June 26, 1996 Am. Can. Ch. Gaelforce Postscript " Peggy Sue" (She went BIS at the Westminster Kennel club in 1995) was diagnosed with liver cancer. She has been close to death all week. At 4 a.m. July 3, 1996 she died in her puppy bed. She was 5 1/2 years. We buried her in our garden next to my foundation bitch, Am. Can. Ch. Maggie McMuffin V. She had her favorite carrot toy, some dog biscuits. I found a Scottie garden statue and placed it on top of her grave to stand watch. We planted some lovely Scotch Moss and Forget-me knots. We still are uncertain what type of cancer it was. We believe that it was lymphosarcoma which attacks dogs between 5 and 7 years of age and is more common in Scotties than many breeds. This form of cancer is usual treatable and life can be extended for 6 months to three years. But it didn't happen with Peggy. Her cancer was concentrated in her liver, one of the worse and most unusual places for cancer in canines. I am fortunate that the only board certified oncologist in Washington State, Karria A. Meleo, worked five miles from my house. So I feel my beloved Peggy Sue was getting the best of the care. My primary veterinarian Susan Torganson was also there for me. -

Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and then Complain About Our Pets 1. The pets live here. You don't. 2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why it's called “fur"niture.) TERRIER TIMES 3. To you, our pets are just animals. To us, they are an adopted son/daughter who happens to be hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly. February 2006 4. Yes, he has some disgusting habits. So do I, and so do you. What's your point? 5. OF COURSE he smells like a dog. 6. It's his nature to try to sniff your crotch. Please feel free to sniff his. 7. Don't be upset if the dog lifts his leg on your trousers, they probably smell like his favourite lamppost. 8. I like him a lot better than I like most people. 9. Dogs and cats are better than kids because: - they don't ask for money all the time - they are easier to train - they usually come when called - they don't hang out with drug-using friends - they don't need a gazillion rand for a varsity education, and - if they get pregnant, you can sell the children. ☺ Pass this on to other pet-lovers in your life! ☺ BREEDS REPRESENTED BY THE CAPE TERRIER CLUB: Airedale, American Staffordshire, Bedlington, Border, Bull, Cairn, Dandie Dinmont, Fox (Smooth and Wire), Irish, Jack Russell, Kerry Blue, Lakeland, Norfolk, Norwich, Parson Russell, Scottish, Skye, Sealyham, Soft-Coated Wheaten, Staffordshire Bull, Welsh & West Highland White Terriers. -
