The Jack Russell Terrier Club of America (JRTCA) and its Registry of Jack Russell Terriers
were founded in 1976 for the purpose of protecting and preserving the unique characteristics and
working heritage of this great little terrier. To this day, the JRTCA and its affiliate clubs remain
dedicated to that purpose. The JRTCA is the largest Jack Russell Terrier club and registry in the
world.
As an affiliate of the JRTCA, the Midwest Jack Russell Terrier Club was organized in 1992 and
shares the dedication and purpose of the JRTCA.

The Midwest Jack Russell Terrier Club puts on an annual Jack Russell Terrier Trial and several
JRT Fun Days every year that provide an opportunity for Jack Russell Terrier owners to work
with their dogs learn about the Jack Russell Terriers’ behaviors and instincts and provide the
dogs with training and competitive outlets for their energy. We also invite the owners of other
dog breeds to participate and learn how to be better stewards for their animal companions.
The Midwest Jack Russell Terrier Club looks for support in our communities to hold our annual
trial with events such as Conformation, Racing, Steeple chasing, Go-To-Ground, Barn Hunt,
Bush Hunt, and Agility. We have participants and members from throughout the Midwest and
the United States, as well as Canada. Members and participants hale from a variety of States such
as Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Texas.

On August 19 & 20, 2023, we will be holding our 31st Summer Celebration and would like to
request a donation towards our silent auction. 

We are expecting 200+ dogs with about 100 exhibitors at this event.

Thank you for your time and consideration of our organization.
Cordially,
Tina L. Bothum
