There will only ever be 50 of these prints made.

Not because we wanted to create hype.

But because this anniversary matters.

Fifty years of people protecting the working terrier.
Fifty years of preserving type, instinct, structure, and purpose.
Fifty years of people who refused to let the Jack Russell Terrier become just another generic show dog.

This print was commissioned to honor that history.

More sneak peeks coming soon.

Behind the scenes of responsible breeding…

This isn’t about producing puppies.
It’s about protecting a breed—and doing right by every dog along the way.

That’s what preserves the real Jack Russell Terrier.

At The Jack Russell Terrier Club of America, we encourage puppy buyers to research breeders carefully, ask questions, and prioritize health, temperament, working ability, and responsible placement over convenience or impulse. An informed buyer helps protect both the breed and the people who love it.

That’s what preserves the real Jack Russell Terrier.
That's what makes 50 years of the JRTCA.
