Annotated
Set of Dog Links
Link lists
are a bit of an antique idea, but
I'm including one anyway.
For those
doing the same on other sites,
please add the www.terrierman.com
link and http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com
links to your own web pages. Thanks in
advance!
The Jack Russell
Terrier Club of America can be
found at http://www.terrier.com/ This is the
largest JRT club in the world, and they
also are a U.S. source for Deben Collars
and fox nets. The real strength of the
JRTCA is that they register individual
dogs, rather than whole litters, and
refuse to register any dog under one year
of age. The JRTCA also takes measurements
and pictures (front and side) to make
sure that basic conformation is adhered
to . To read the JRTCAs take on the
AKC, see The JRTCA Stance on AKC
Recognition (Why We Fight
Application to the AKC) at
http://www.terrier.com/jrtca/noakc.php3.
Coch-y-Bonddu
Books
is in Wales and at www.anglebooks.com.
They not only have hard-to-find books and
great service, but they also reprint
books that are out of print.
Read
Country Books is at www.readcountrybooks.com and is
reprinting lots of great old titles that
have been very hard to get up to now.
Great books, great service, great price.
Give them some business!

trying to fashioned what we take for
granted in the U.S. -- a working
relationship between hunters,
environmentalists and private land
owners. Check it out at >> http://www.countryside-alliance.org
Patterdale Terrier
Club is at
http://ptca.00go.com Let's hope this dog never gets
pulled into the AKC. Is it too late to
trademark the name?

Jack
Russell Terrier Rescue
If
you are looking for a pet or
even a good working dog,
please consider dogs that are
in rescue. Most of the dogs
are terrific animals whose
only "crime" is
that their first human owner
was immature and ignorant.
Now their only
"crime" is that
they are no longer little
puppies that will pee all
over your rugs. If that
sounds like a good thing to
you, click on the links
below. |

Karen Pryor is the queen of
clicker training and if you dont do
it, you should try it. Pryors book,
Dont Shoot the Dog, is
a life-transforming book that is about
far more than dog and animal training.
Her site can be found at http://www.karenpryor.com/.
The U.S. Border
Collie Club has tried to keep a
working standard rather than a
conformation standard. Read about their
battle with the AKC (written by
celebrated dog author Donald McCaig) at
http://www.bordercollie.org/akc.html. For another bit
on this topic, see We Only Register
Dogs at
http://www.bordercollie.org/only.html.
The
AKC and Working Dogs.
Your
breed wasn't created by the AKC, but it
might yet be ruined by it.
See
http://www.terrierman.com/AKCindex.htm for a short
summary of what's happened and links to
stories of how the AKC has worked to
undermine working breed clubs.
Advanced
Book Exchange is the Amazon.com
of used books and can be found at http://www.abebooks.com/. Ive
gotten a lot of great used dog books
(they appear to be new) from these folks.
This is really just a consortium of used
book stores all over the world and you
will deal with the individual stores
(generally by e-mail). If you tell them
what you want (on any topic) theyll
find it. Stop paying retail -- this is
the way to go. Another source is www.alibris.com.
Dogs
Behaving Badly & Dogs Are From
Neptune are two new

Clash. Her new stuff promises
solutions and info on dog aggression,
barking, jumping, chewing, and digging.
Check it all out at http://www.lasardogs.com/.

Brands we Like. For Woodchuck
Cider go to

Woodchuck cider down and then "chase
it" with a Jack Russell beer. For
more working terrier and beer signage,

Tribute
to the Dog. William Safire

gave a better one, but it had nothing to
do with dogs. Check out Safires
favorite at
