Prevent the Kennel Club from setting breed standards for Jack Russell Terriers
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
For over 100 years the Kennel Club has refused to recognise the Jack Russell Terrier as a pedigree breed. Now it has decided to change this policy.
We feel that setting breed standards for such a healthy breed will lead to interbreeding and destroy the character of the Jack Russell Terier.
