| The Everglades Terrier Club is a regional organization founded in 1994 dedicated to the well-being of all terrier breeds. Our members promote interest in terriers in general, protection of terrier breeds through rescue, and the effort to sustain breeding for type, function and integrity.
The word terrier is derived from the Latin "terre" which means earth. Thus, terriers are dogs bred to root out and kill vermin, such as badgers, rats, foxes and otters. Whatever the prey, the terrier must be strong-boned, well-muscled and robust.
The admirable characteristics common to all terrier types are the indomitable courage and unwavering devotion to home and family.
Our organization has proven to be an important resource for those seeking information on terriers. We provide an important forum for the terrier enthusiast to meet others who share their interest. The Club sponsors educational programs, social activities, and dog events in conjunction with the American Kennel Club.
