Dear BRT owners,
We are inviting you to join the Black Russian Terrier Club of Canada (BRTCC). The BRTCC is a non-profit organization and the national BRT club recognized by the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC). Our goal is to preserve the breed we love in its entirety and promote BRTs to the general public. One way we promote the breed is by sponsoring and participating in shows and performance events throughout Canada. As you may know our breed is fully recognized by many national kennels including the American Kennel Club (AKC), but in Canada BRTs are currently a ‘listed’ breed awaiting full recognition. We continue to seek this full status with the CKC (Canada’s official pure breed dog registry) and our club is seeking volunteers to join us in supporting this magnificent breed. We hold educational seminars and workshops for BRT owners and organize our annual National Specialty. In addition we network through social events such as barbeques and dog fun days. We support one another and mentor BRT owners in every aspect of the breed (grooming and coat care, raising a puppy, training, socializing, exhibiting in shows and competing in performance events.) In 2015 the BRTCC is planning a National Specialty in Quebec, a booster show in Alberta, fundraising events in Ontario, and two seminar/workshops. We are implementing annual BRTCC Awards for all top BRTs (BRTCC member owned or co-owned) in Canada. These awards will recognize various performance modalities, conformation achievements, health initiatives, community service/therapy work, and other volunteer activities. The BRTCC's newsletter is published and e-mailed to our members three times a year with news, achievements, interesting articles, and of course pictures of BRTs. To learn more about the BRTCC please visit our website at www.brtcc.org
Our members adhere to the club’s Constitution and Code of Ethics. If you are interested in joining us, please send your "Membership Application Form"
