2 A WARM WELCOME TO ALL PARTICIPANTS! Now in our 18 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! We are pleased to welcome Barrie Wade from the UK as this year's Conformation Judge. This will be our seventeenth year organizing the Jack Russell Hurdle Racing for Purina s Incredible Dog Challenge. 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 overall Working Terrier & Dachshund Championship. 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, Let s Play Poker game and Dutch Creek Challenge. No racing entries will be accepted after May 12 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. RV parking and hook-ups (water and electric) are always free at Purina Farms, however, reservations cannot be taken; RV spots are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Make your motel reservations early. There are several events at Purina this weekend! Keep up on the latest news and events!

3 Meet Barrie Wade I purchased my first Jack Russell Terrier in 1965 at the age of 20 and have owned and worked terriers continuously for the past 50 years. I keep a small mixed kennel of Jack Russell and Patterdale Terriers. During that time I have been fortunate enough to have legally worked my terriers to each of the three main quarry species for which they were originally bred and was terrierman to the Border Counties Mink Hounds for 18 seasons. I judged my first working terrier show in 1973 and have judged numerous Hunt and Working Terrier Club shows throughout the U.K. including its most prestigious shows: The Great Yorkshire Show. The Jack Russell Terrier Club of Great Britain National Show (twice). The Countryman s Weekly Champion of Champions (twice). The Fell & Moorland Champion of Champions. I have also been privileged on numerous occasions to judge terriers overseas in North America, Canada, Finland, Germany, Holland, South Africa, Sweden and the Republic of Ireland. This includes: The Jack Russell Terrier Club of America National Show. The Jack Russell Terrier Club of Canada National Show. The Jack Russell Terrier Club of South Africa National Show. The Jack Russell Terrier Club of Sweden National Show (twice). The Patterdale Terrier Club of America National Show. I am totally committed to the preservation of the working terrier in all its various forms and for the past 20 years have chaired the National Working Terrier Federation (N.W.T.F.), which is the lead organisation for the defence of terrierwork in the U.K. During that time it has been necessary to defend the working terrier from a wide variety of hostile legislation. And despite the recent bans here in the U.K. on hunting with dogs and on tail docking, it says much for the achievements of the N.W.T.F. that terrierwork and the working terrier were exempted from both of these bans and are allowed to continue legally and within the Law. I consider it a great privilege to have been invited to judge the Missouri Earthdogs Trial. It is a show which I have always held in the highest regard. My perspective has always been that of a Working Terrier Show, organised by working terrier people for working terriers and their owners, and I would like to thank the Board for their very kind invitation. Yours Respectfully Barrie Wade

At this time, the 12 terriers from the qualifying classes and one alternate will be racing in St. Louis at the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge. Scout, owned by Mary Daly, is the returning champion! Please remember this is strictly an entertainment event. In order to race in St. Louis, you must: 1. Be a current member of Missouri Earthdogs 2. Be able to be in St. Louis on Saturday, September 26, 2015 If you own a qualifying terrier but cannot attend or cannot send your terrier to St. Louis with someone else, the spot will be filled by a club volunteer or the next qualifying terrier in the trial class. All qualifying dogs will be notified by mail following the trial. You have until July 1, 2015 to notify us as to whether you can be in St. Louis for the Finals.
