But perhaps the Fjord registry should look at the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America and all the requirements they have to get a JR registered. They do have a very nice web site that will give you tons of information. I have a registered female and she had one litter. I suspected that one of the pups was not right. I showed him twice as a pup. He is a perfect example of a good JR. At the second show, I had his hearing tested. Just as I thought. He is deaf in one ear. So that ended his career as a potential stud dog and off with his lucky stones. But he is a wonderful pet and can still compete in racing and other trials. He is not registered, of course. Well so much for my rambling and I know we cannot compare dogs to horses. -- "Built FJORD tough" Carol M. On Golden Pond Northern Wisconsin
