As a local organization based in South and Central Texas, we provide educational opportunities for JRT owners in our region to get together and socialize with each other and their Jacks. We do this by means of "Playdays", 3-4 per year, in Buffalo, TX. We school our Jacks in Racing, Lure Coursing, Tunnel Vision and Go-To-Ground, etc. No experience is necessary. We also stage two sanctioned JRTCA trials each year. Our trials are always held on the first full weekend of March (Saturday & Sunday).

 

If you are not yet a member of the Gulf Coast Jack Russell Terrier Network, please consider joining us by submitting your membership application today. Remember, as a member, you can advertise in our Classifieds for free and get discounted trial entry fees and ringside spots. You will receive newsletters, club updates and have access to the Member Only site on our Club website.

 

You can become a member by clicking on the GCJRTN Membership Application Tab on the top left of the navigation screen. You can print off the form and mail it or you can pay on-line. We accept on-line payments via Google Checkout; you may also send your membership dues via PayPal (please pay the transaction fee!), to lisadernick@comcast.net. “Gulf Coast JRT Network” will appear on your credit card statement/bank account. We really need your support in order for our Club to grow and thrive. We are only as strong as our membership is supportive.

 

PLEASE NOTE THE 9th TAB DOWN ON THE LEFT SIDE. ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY REALLY READY FOR A JACK RUSSELL TERRIER? TAKE THE PROFILER TEST FROM THE JRTCA, AND READ THE "BAD DOG TALK." THINK, THINK AND THINK AGAIN BEFORE PURCHASING OR ADOPTING A JACK RUSSELL TERRIER - ATTEND A PLAYDAY OR A TRIAL WITHOUT A JACK AND LEARN FROM THOSE AROUND YOU.

 

DO NOT EVER BUY A JRT FROM A PET STORE, SEEK OUT A REPUTABLE AND JRTCA REGISTERED BREEDER. JACKS ARE THE BEST AND THEY ARE TRULY WONDERFUL DOGS, BUT THEY ARE NOT THE BREED FOR EVERYONE; MANY DO NOT TOLERATE CATS, SMALL ANIMALS OR KIDS. THEY ARE VERY HIGH ENERGY AND NEED A JOB TO DO AND OBEDIENCE LESSONS. TOO MANY PEOPLE IMPULSE BUY...AND THAT CREATES PROBLEMS FOR ALL OF US, INCLUDING THE JACK, DOWN THE ROAD. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON THIS WEBSITE WHO YOU CAN CALL FOR INFORMATION, DO SO!
