About Us
The Sunshine State Jack Russell Terrier Club (SSJRTC) was organized in 1999 and is priviledged to be the only Florida club affiliated with the national Jack Russell Terrier Club of America (JRTCA). We are also one of the largest JRTCA affliliate clubs.

The Primary purpose of our club is to educate people about Jack Russell Terriers. We strive to preserve, protect, work and perhaps most importantly, have fun with our terriers. SSJRTC also supports Russell Rescue, Inc and The JRT Research Foundation.

SSJRTC is proud of our membership. We have nearly hundred members throughout Florida, the U.S. and even Canada. Our membership is active and dedicated. Volunteerism is encouraged and appreciated. New members are warmly welcomed and supported.
