It is currently being developed in Hunt Valley, Maryland, adjacent to the JRTCA home office, and is well underway. The mission of the Museum is to preserve the unique Jack Russell Terrier, to prevent change to this amazing little white dog that so far has survived physical and mental changes brought about by kennel club type showing. It has remained the fiesty little white hunting terrier that was bred to bolt foxes more than 200 years ago. With today s confusion brought about by the kennel club variants of our breed, this is more important than ever. Educating the general public, and all those interested in this terrier, is critical to its survival. With the help of all true Jack Russell enthusiasts, we can build and maintain this wonderful tribute to our breed, and to Mrs. Ailsa Crawford, whose foresight in forming the JRTCA and its registry were instrumental in the terrier s preservation. Please help us to carry on the Jack Russell s tradition and heritage by helping to build up the Museum & Library. Many donations are needed, from dollars to collectibles and displays. We especially need many old photos at this time. Dogs and people from pre-1995 who were influential in developing the breeding lines that became our foundation in the JRTCA. If you would like to help in any way, please stop in and see us at the trial, visit our web site, or call any board member listed or the office! It is a great project, and needs your support! The Museum is incorporated as a 501(c)(3), your donations are tax deductible!
