	Rat Terrier Club of America - Breed Standard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		When the Toy Fox Terrier was officially recognized by the United Kennel Club on February 24th, 1936; those individuals that did not meet the criteria of TFT standard because they were over-sized, mismarked, or had wrong coloration or patterning, were “culled” and often found their way back into Rat Terrier breeding programs.
		These infusions of Toy Fox Terrier along with earlier breedings to Beagles and sight hounds have added a degree of hybrid vigor and certainly influenced the varying types, sizes and colorations that may be seen today.
		The charter members of the Rat Terrier Club of America, founded in 1995, and others worked several years prior to the actual formation of the club, to draft a standard that would correctly define and promote the breed as it is today.

	Parson Russell Terrier Association of America - PRTAA
		HE Parson Russell Terrier Association of America (PRTAA) is an organization of Parson Russell Terrier breeders and owners dedicated to the promotion, breeding, working and continuance of the traditional pure bred Parson Russell that was bred and worked by the Parson John Russell himself (1795 - 1883).
		The club was established in 1985 in response to growing concerns that the breed was being misrepresented as a short-legged terrier rather than a terrier with the symmetry of a foxhound.
		These activities dictated the type terrier endorsed and supported by the PRTAA: a balanced terrier with a chest spannable by moderate sized hands, straight legs with a good bend of stifle, predominantly white with head, tail and occasional body markings, and an alert and ready temperament.

	Dog Owner's Guide Profile: The Welsh Terrier
		Closely resembling the Lakeland Terrier, which developed in Britain's northern Lake District for similar purpose, Welsh Terriers were housed with the hounds, ran with the pack, and climaxed the chase by going underground after otter, fox, or badger.
		Some historians think that all terriers are modifications and improvements of a single breed recorded as the "Old English Black and Tan." Early pictures show the Black and Tan as a medium-to-small dog, usually wire-coated, with small ears and a sharp, alert expression.
		The Welsh Terrier is a basic terrier with basic needs: training and controlled "hunting" for mental stimulation, walks on a leash and play for physical exercise, normal veterinary care, a good diet to keep him at a healthy weight, and grooming to keep him handsome.
