He had Jack Russell s for 20 years, Border Terrier cross breeds and now Patterdales for the last 20 years. All his terriers are home bred. Although Brian has been successful in the show ring with his terriers, work comes first with him. He hunts his terriers regularly and has worked with various Hunts for the last 10 years. Brian has judged numerous Game Fairs and Hunt Shows, including the Living Heritages Champion of Champions and also the largest and most prestigious Great Yorkshire show. This will be Brian s first visit to the US, please be sure to take the time and give him a big Missouri Earthdogs welcome!

From set-up to tear-down and all the jobs in between, we couldn t do it without you!!

3 A WARM WELCOME TO ALL PARTICIPANTS! Now in our 20 th year, we are proud to once again present a trial for all earthdogs, which includes the majority of the terrier breeds and Dachshunds. Once again we are happy to accept Purina Farms' gracious offer to host our trial. Enjoy the facilities and please remember to clean up after your dogs! This will be our nineteenth year organizing the Jack Russell Hurdle Racing for the Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge National Championships. Placements from select races on Sunday will qualify terriers for the IDC. See the IDC page for more details. We hope that all who attend will enjoy the events and companionship and leave with a little more knowledge and appreciation of our canine friends. Because we feel strongly about the working part of our Memorial Day Bash, we have structured our Working classes to include colored terriers. There is a Jack Russell Working Championship as well as a Colored Terrier and Dachshund Working Championship. The Champion and Reserve of each of these classes will move on to the Missouri Earthdogs Working Champion of Champions. You will find our trial format different than some, with an emphasis on the working terrier. That notwithstanding, we do offer a variety of events for all, including allowing spayed and neutered terriers in all classes. Pre-entries will be accepted for all classes and Post entries will be allowed for all events except for racing and muskrat racing. Pre-entries are required for Friday and Sunday Racing, Muskrat Racing, Jacks Are Wild! Poker and Dutch Creek Challenge. No racing entries will be accepted after May 15 or during the trial (except to fill heats please do NOT rely on this, however!). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but racing at our trial has become so large that this is the only way to accommodate all the entries. We recognize all Jack Russells, colored earthworking terriers or Dachshunds who have received their JRTCA Bronze Medallion, JRTCA Working Achievement Award or AWTA Veteran Earthdog Award since June A ceremony/exhibition will be held immediately before Saturday s lunch break (approximately 12:00 pm). We ask that recipients of these awards since June a brief description of what their dog has accomplished to Dawn Weiss at briar1@frontiernet.net Please stick around before lunch to hear about these wonderful working dogs! See class for details. Breakfast and lunch will be available at Purina Farms café next to the trial office on Saturday & Sunday; the menu is located in the trial brochure.
