What really ruins a working breed -great piece PTCA!
In a nutshell…
A working breed is endangered when appearance becomes more important than ability.
When popularity becomes more important than purpose.
When money becomes more important than honesty. When a pedigree becomes more important than the dog standing in front of us.
When ribbons become more important than proven qualities.
When generation after generation is bred without testing, selection, or regard for the traits the breed was created to possess.

Jack Russell Terriers are bred to think independently, problem solve, and use their nose with precision. These traits are not taught—they are preserved through careful breeding.

This is what 50 years of preserving a working terrier looks like.
