What is the primary function of the JRTCA?

The primary function of the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America (JRTCA) is to promote the sport for Jack Russell Terriers. This encompasses various activities that encourage the preservation and celebration of the breed's working abilities and traits. The promotion of the sport involves organizing events, competitions, and shows that allow Jack Russell Terriers to demonstrate their capabilities, as well as fostering a sense of community among owners and enthusiasts.

While dog breeding and training are important aspects related to the breed, they are not the primary focus of the organization as a whole. Additionally, organizing dog shows is part of the promotion of the sport, but it does not encapsulate the entire mission of the JRTCA, which is broader and seeks to engage all facets of Jack Russell Terrier enthusiasts in celebrating and promoting the breed's unique characteristics and activities.
