| JANUARY NEWSLETTER FROM THE SECRETARY: September 1, 2008 Hello members, Starting in January '09, new fees will be as follows: *** Membership is $20.00 per family, per year. *** Dogs that have appropriate litter registration papers with them will be the same--$15.00 *** Dogs that have parents registered with the EJRTCA but no litter registration--$25.00 *** Dogs that have no parents registered with EJRTCA and are completely new to the registry--$50.00 *** Litter registration is $15.00 for a litter of three or more. One pup $5.00, two pups $10.00. *** Each dog in the litter, after one year must apply for permanent papers, which is $15.00 per dog. I feel it is still important to keep the registry open to make a larger gene pool, but people should consider only putting the dogs in that are quality enough to improve the breed. Paying a higher fee makes people more selective. We are closing in on 700 dogs in our registry. I have also issued close to 2400 back numbers to dogs in pedigrees that we do not have background on. A completely new pedigree that I have to research the information on takes about 2 hours or more PER pedigree. It is time consuming and I am not complaining, but would like for people to understand I cannot flip them out like magic. I also do this voluntarily on my spare time (what spare time?) so I do not work on them every day. Following the above tips though, could speed things up and make things run more smoothly. Again, thank you so much for supporting our registry and our endeavor to perpetuate the English Jack Russell and continue to improve the quality of the breed.

DOG JOKES Section and Other Information: It was a slow day in heaven so God telephoned Satan to see what was going on. "It’s slow here too," says Satan. "Well," God said, " I think a dog show might be fun. Let’s put on a dog show." "Sounds good," says Satan, "But why are you calling me? You’ve got all the dogs up there." "I know," answered God, "But, you’ve got all the judges down there!" A guy wanted to take his Jack Russell into a restaurant with him, so he put on dark glasses and "tapped" his way into the establishment. "The waiter said "Hey! you can't bring a dog in here.” "The man indignantly claimed, "I'm blind! This is my Seeing Eye dog!" "You're trying to tell me," said the waiter, "that this Jack Russell is a Seeing Eye dog?" "What?" cried the man, "they gave me a Jack Russell?" What is a definition of Jack Russell induced terror? "When you are trying to stop your Jack from shredding a foxtail, which is attached to a "Harley Davidson handle bar, as a 7 foot tall Hells Angel bears down on you.
