A WARM WELCOME TO ALL PARTICIPANTS!
 Now in our 18th year, we are proud to once again present a trial for all earthdogs, which
includes the majority of the terrier breeds and Dachshunds.
 Once again we are happy to accept Purina Farms' gracious offer to host our trial. Enjoy the
facilities and please, remember to clean up after your dogs!
 We are pleased to welcome Barrie Wade from the UK as this year's Conformation Judge.
 This will be our seventeenth year organizing the Jack Russell Hurdle Racing for Purina’s
Incredible Dog Challenge. Placements from select races on Sunday will qualify terriers for the
IDC. See the IDC page for more details.
 We hope that all who attend will enjoy the events and companionship and leave with a little
more knowledge and appreciation of our canine friends.
 Because we feel strongly about the “working” part of our Memorial Day Bash, we have
structured our Working classes to include colored terriers. There is a Jack Russell Working
championship as well as a Colored Terrier and Dachshund Working Championship. The
Champion and Reserve of each of these classes will move on to the overall Working Terrier &
Dachshund Championship.
 You will find our trial format different than some, with an emphasis on the working terrier.
That notwithstanding, we do offer a variety of events for all, including allowing spayed and
neutered terriers in all classes.
 Pre-entries will be accepted for all classes and Post entries will be allowed for all events
except for racing and muskrat racing. Pre-entries are required for Friday and Sunday
Racing, Muskrat Racing, Let’s Play Poker game and Dutch Creek Challenge.
 No racing entries will be accepted after May 12 or during the trial (except to fill heats – please
do NOT rely on this, however!). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but
racing at our trial has become so large that this is the only way to accommodate all the
entries.
 We recognize all Jack Russells, colored earthworking terriers or Dachshunds who have
received their JRTCA Bronze Medallion, JRTCA Working Achievement Award or AWTA
Veteran Earthdog Award since June 2014. A ceremony/exhibition will be held immediately
before Saturday’s lunch break (approximately 12:00 pm).
 We ask that recipients of these awards since June 2014 email a brief description of what their
dog has accomplished to Dawn Weiss at [email protected] Please stick around before
lunch to hear about these wonderful working dogs! See class for details.
 Breakfast and lunch will be available at Purina Farms’ café next to the trial office on Saturday
& Sunday; the menu is located in the trial brochure.
 RV parking and hook-ups (water and electric) are always free at Purina Farms, however,
reservations cannot be taken; RV spots are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
 Make your motel reservations early. There are several events at Purina this weekend!
Keep up on the latest news and events!

Meet Barrie Wade
I purchased my first Jack Russell Terrier in 1965 at the age of 20 and have owned and worked
terriers continuously for the past 50 years. I keep a small mixed kennel of Jack Russell and
Patterdale Terriers.
During that time I have been fortunate enough to have legally worked my terriers to each of the
three main quarry species for which they were originally bred and was terrierman to the Border
Counties Mink Hounds for 18 seasons.
I judged my first working terrier show in 1973 and have judged numerous Hunt and Working Terrier
Club shows throughout the U.K. including its most prestigious shows:




The Great Yorkshire Show.
The Jack Russell Terrier Club of Great Britain National Show (twice).
The Countryman’s Weekly Champion of Champions (twice).
The Fell & Moorland Champion of Champions.
I have also been privileged on numerous occasions to judge terriers overseas in North America,
Canada, Finland, Germany, Holland, South Africa, Sweden and the Republic of Ireland. This
includes:





The Jack Russell Terrier Club of America National Show.
The Jack Russell Terrier Club of Canada National Show.
The Jack Russell Terrier Club of South Africa National Show.
The Jack Russell Terrier Club of Sweden National Show (twice).
The Patterdale Terrier Club of America National Show.
I am totally committed to the preservation of the working terrier in all its various forms and for the
past 20 years have chaired the National Working Terrier Federation (N.W.T.F.), which is the lead
organisation for the defence of terrierwork in the U.K.
During that time it has been necessary to defend the working terrier from a wide variety of hostile
legislation. And despite the recent bans here in the U.K. on hunting with dogs and on tail docking, it
says much for the achievements of the N.W.T.F. that terrierwork and the working terrier were
exempted from both of these bans and are allowed to continue legally and within the Law.
I consider it a great privilege to have been invited to judge the Missouri Earthdogs Trial. It is a show
which I have always held in the highest regard. My perspective has always been that of a Working
Terrier Show, organised by working terrier people for working terriers and their owners, and I would
like to thank the Board for their very kind invitation.
Yours Respectfully – Barrie Wade

In addition to the above classes, classes with the biggest entries will each qualify any additional
terrier. This will be determined at the trial.
The Finals for the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge will take place on September 25 & 26, 2015 at Purina
Farms. Two regional teams (East and West) and the 2014 winner will come together and compete against
each other. At press time for our trial brochure, the number of dogs competing in the finals had not been
determined by Nestle-Purina. Therefore, we cannot say at this time how many of our MOE terriers will be
allowed into the PIDC. That determination should be known by the time of our trial in May. At this time, the
12 terriers from the qualifying classes and one alternate will be racing in St. Louis at the Purina Incredible
Dog Challenge.
Scout, owned by Mary Daly, is the returning champion!
Please remember this is strictly an entertainment event.
In order to race in St. Louis, you must:
1. Be a current member of Missouri Earthdogs
2. Be able to be in St. Louis on Saturday, September 26, 2015
If you own a qualifying terrier but cannot attend or cannot send your terrier to St. Louis with someone else,
the spot will be filled by a club volunteer or the next qualifying terrier in the trial class. All qualifying dogs will
be notified by mail following the trial. You have until July 1, 2015 to notify us as to whether you can be in St.
Louis for the Finals.

Owned and Operated by Nestle-Ralston Purina Pet Products
Purina Farms, which features a Purina Event Center and a Visitor’s Center along with several Outdoor Canine
Competition Venues, is an all-inclusive destination for animal lovers and dog enthusiasts of all ages. Competitive
shows and trials as well as fun and educational family-friendly activities and exhibits reinforce the many ways that
animals enrich our lives. Purina Farms hosts over 60 canine events each year. These events include All Breed Shows,
National Specialties, Dog Agility Trials, Schutzhund, Lure Coursing, Whippet Racing, Obedience, Flyball, Temperament
tests and Herding competitions.
So that the grounds can be maintained for all to enjoy we ask your cooperation in the following policies:
 Parking is permitted on black top and gravel lots. During large events, grassy areas may be authorized for parking
and will be either marked or someone from the host club will direct you to the authorized area.
 No RV parking on the same level as the Registration/Vendor/Raffle tents.
 Canopies and tenting are permitted on and around parking areas outside the fenced-in show field. Canopies can also
be set up on gravel areas inside the fenced-in show field. During large events, we ask that you only use the amount
of space you require. Please, no tenting on the show fields.
 Crating is allowed ringside 15 minutes prior and 15 minutes after the scheduled class in which you and your dog are
competing. Exercise pens are allowed on all parking areas. Grassy areas outside the fenced-in show field can also
be used.
 Waste containers are placed throughout the grounds. White barrels are for paper trash, brown barrels are for pet
waste. Complimentary plastic gloves are provided for your convenience at these locations. There are also
designated relief areas set up for you to use.
 Please follow all directions on posted signs.
 The show field is all grassy areas inside the green fence.
 PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOUR PET.
Your cooperation is appreciated!
