Red Trail Terriers

Here is Shelby flying over the jump, and swimming in the steeplechase.  

JRT racing is a fun sport you can do with your terrier. Terriers are loaded into a start box, muzzled for everyones safety...A motorized pully system pulls a fake quarrie (sometimes this is simply a plastic grocery bag) down the racing lane. The terriers are released from the start box and race down the lane, to a narrow opening at the finish line. It is not the first dog to the finish who necessarily wins its the first through the hole. The racing lane might be just flat or may include obsticals such as jumps or water.  Most terriers will catch onto racing with very little training. If you have any questions about JRT racing please do not hesitate to email. 

Flyball is a team sport...a relay race! There are up to 6 dogs per team but only 4 run at a time with the other 2 sitting out as extras. Running a head to head race against the another team the first dog is released, careful not to break the barrier and have a false start! That dog jumps over 4 jumps and then hits a specially designed box that holds a tennis ball. The dog then takes the ball back over the 4 jumps passing the start line so the next dog can go...and so on. It is the shortest dog on the team that decides the jump hieght. That dog is called the height dog. It is a fun sport but takes dedication and team work. Alot of training goes into the making of a solid flyball dog.
