  • 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.

  • Hero Dogs White Paper Working Dogs: Building Humane Communities with Man’S Best Friend
    Hero Dogs White Paper Working Dogs: Building Humane Communities with Man’s Best Friend INTRODUCTION Humankind has always had a special relationship with canines. For thousands of years, dogs have comforted us, protected us, and given us their unconditional love. Time and time again through the ages they have proven why they are considered our best friends. Yet, not only do dogs serve as our beloved companions, they are also a vital part of keeping our communities healthy, safe and humane. American Humane Association has recognized the significant contributions of working dogs over the past five years with our annual Hero Dog Awards® national campaign. Dogs are nominated in multiple categories from communities across the country, with winners representing many of the working dog categories. The American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards are an opportunity to educate many about the contributions of working dogs in our daily lives. This paper provides further background into their contributions to building humane communities. Dogs have served as extensions of human senses and abilities throughout history and, despite advancements in technology, they remain the most effective way to perform myriad tasks as working dogs. According to Helton (2009a, p. 5), “the role of working dogs in society is far greater than most people know and is likely to increase, not diminish, in the future.” Whether it’s a guide dog leading her sight-impaired handler, a scent detection dog patrolling our airports, or a military dog in a war zone searching for those who wish to do us harm, working dogs protect and enrich human lives.

  • Exotic Bully Breed Standard
    BREEDERS CUP ASSOCIATION 2018 EXOTIC BULLY BREED STANDARD FOREWORD The Exotic Bully has been around since approximately 2013 as a “breed” recognized by the USBR, the first Exotic Bullies were American Bullies that were exclusive to a few bloodlines that concentrated on the more “bulldoggy” looking traits and were beyond the “standar d” set up for the American Bully within other r egistries. The Exotic Bullies were cast out by those registries for not being American Bullies and not fitting their standards. During this time period there were other breeds that were brought into the Exotic Bullies that were not readily sp oken about in the breed’s history which consists of American Bulldog, English Bulldog, Olde English Bulldog, and French Bulldog just to name a few that were added by certain bloodlines to enhance the look the breeders were trying to achieve above and beyond the original breed. Over the last few years the Exotic Bully is beginning to get a “desired” look that is becoming more consistent and this breed standard will serve as a standard for which they will be graded by with the goal of bringing more even consistency to the breed. We also recognize that the Exotic Bully is a continuing breed that still to this day has various looks defined by bloodline. This breed standard is to serve the breed in protecting its health as well as not preventing breeders from following their v ision to create their version of the breed. This breed standard will be revisited in a few years for revision if necessary.
