American Rat
Terrier Association/ARTA
ARTA is the UKC National Parent Breed Club with
members, owners and fanciers in mind. This is YOUR Club. We continue to grow
through your support and contributions. Our club's goals are to support UKC as
our registry of preference; breed according to our official UKC Breed Standard;
preserve this American bred working Terrier; avoid breeding stock with known
health/genetic problems; to encourage and promote our members who exhibit,
train, and show their dogs; to support and encourage formation of regional UKC
Rat Terrier Breed Clubs; and to seek and establish the Rat Terrier as a
nationally recognized breed by Major Kennel/Registry Associations.
We encourage
all owners of Rat Terriers to join the AMERICAN RAT TERRIER ASSOCIATION
(ARTA). We work hand in hand with the UNITED KENNEL CLUB (UKC) and
fellow club members to protect the FUTURE of this American Developed
Breed. Your support means a lot to us and this is where you can make a
difference.
Once a member,
you will receive a welcome packet and receive our bi-monthly newsletter.
You are also invited to join our online ARTA-LIST where members communicate and
discuss matters that affect and pertain to our breed and club.
