If you've never been to a Jack Russell Terrier trial, you are in for a treat.  It is like going to a two-day tailgate party!  Everyone pulls up in their SUV or specially equipped van and sets up their tents, x-pens and dogs and then the socializing begins.  The JRT trial consists of conformation of course, but also includes racing, go-to-ground, agility, obedience, etc.  We love to go to trials, and have met many folks that we have become great friends with.  It is a good way to spend time with your dogs and to be involved with other folks who share your interest in this wonderful little terrier.   As a breeder, it is a way for us to have our terriers put up along side everyone else's to get an idea if our breeding program is headed in the right direction.  A nice ribbon at the end of the day really means something at one of these shows.  Here are some trial photos.....
