July 8, 2006,
The American Russell Terrier Club "ARTC" was contacted by
the American Russell Terrier Foundation Club "ARTFC". We extended
to them the willingness of our membership to communicate to best
serve the Russell Terrier. The clubs are corresponding with all
communications sent directly to the office of Mari-Beth O'Neill.
Over the past several months we have established a professional
relationship with the American Jack Russell Terrier Association.
We have included their club in this correspondence to keep the
Russell Terrier Fanciers abreast of our proceedings and to include
their input. Communication is the key to all Fanciers working
together for the best interests of the breed. The American Russell
Terrier Foundation Club did request the two clubs enter into
mediation. Mediation was not a course of recommendation by the AKC
for the two clubs. It was merely a suggestion as for some clubs it
has worked effectively. One very important stipulation Mari-Beth
did make was that if the two clubs in fact did enter into
mediation the entire membership of both clubs would have to vote
on it. The American Russell Terrier Club did not approve mediation
at this time. This decision does not mean it is absolutely not an
option. What may transpire in the future for both clubs is
undecided at this time. We want to keep the lines of communication
open and work towards the future in a positive manner. Our only
concern is what is truly best for the breed and that our
membership will collectively agree to all future actions of our
club. I believe all of us have a great love for this little dog
and its a great responsibility we have been given to insure we do
things for all the right reasons

| The AKC Committee has
officially approved the name for the FCI Jack Russell
Terrier in America to be "Russell Terrier". The name Jack
Russell Terrier created a conflict with existing Jack
Russell Terrier Clubs in the U. S. and Great Britain and
could not be used by the AKC. The name in no way reflects a
different breed. The FCI standard for the Jack Russell
Terrier will be the same standard used for the AKC Russell
Terrier. The American Jack Russell Terrier Club has changed
the name of our club per the request of AKC to accurately
describe the breed in the U.S. |

Our Exciting News!!!
The American Jack Russell Terrier Club est. 1995 is the first
breed registry in the US to separate the 10” to 12” Jack Russell
Terrier as a separate breed from the Parsons Russell Terrier.
Australia led the world in the separation of the two breeds in
1991 in the strictest sense and their standard has been
universally applied to the Jack Russell Terriers. We are pleased
to announce our application for inclusion into the AKC FSS has
been accepted by the Committee. The process to get set up is
lengthy. We will keep you informed over the next couple of months
as to our progress. The AKC FSS is our first step to becoming a
recognized breed. Typically it takes many years of work from
dedicated fanciers to move a breed from the FSS to full
recognition. Fanciers must prove there is enough interest in the
breed and that breeders have used breeding practices that insure
the dogs in the AKC studbook are purebred. We have much work to do
in the future.
Here
are some of the Letters Received . . . .

Hi Joann,
I am the Secretary of the Jack Russell Terrier Club of NSW in
Australia, I was closely involved with the recognition of the JRT here
in Aus- I am sure you will have a book to write at the end of it all-
I know my book is in my head somewhere! I just wanted to congratulate
you on your work getting the 10-12 dogs established- i wonder if the
English Kennel Club will be following the AKC???!!!
Regards,
