| Formerly known as the Hunt Terrier Club of America. We changed the name to better suit these wonderfully unique dogs. The Euro Russell is a small, agile, extremely versatile, and active terrier. This terrier is one of many types of working terriers found in almost all of Europe. They have survived as an unregistered type of terrier because they are highly valued as a working dog. They are very similar to the "Russell Terrier" and come from some of the same bloodlines. Many say these dogs only differ because of their coloring, which is heavy marked to solid colored. These types are often crossed with one another, puppies born of solid coloration are classified as a Euro Russell and Pied (white bodied) dogs are classified as "Russell Terriers". |
Today we breed this unique breed for sound structure and superb temperament! The Euro Russell makes an excellent family companion and excels in training and competing for ground work, field trials, agility and obedience. There are not many Euro Russells, but those that own them are passionate about keeping these great dogs around. The ERCA is working to further develop breed type and maintain an accurate registry for the Euro Russell. It is our goal to take the Euro Russell into a major kennel club in the future. Hopefully, with kennel club acceptance, the Euro Russell will gain the recognition it deserves. |
