2008 Events Lure Coursing and Racing at Rockton

Lots of fun was had in Rockton last week with lure coursing and racing organized by the Jack Russell Terrier Club of Southwestern Ontario. Our editor was there catching up with everyone (she had a lot of that to do …hint hint) and also seeing budding JRT stars.One of these was Tara proudly shown by her owner below
