LUCAS TERRIER CLUB - OVERVIEW
The club was founded in 1998 to help preserve the breed, provide support to breeders and maintain health records for the future.
VISION
The Club's overall vision is to promote and grow the Lucas Terrier breed in the UK.
AIMS
The Club’s aims remain:
-
Maintaining strict health records for the Lucas Terrier population - past, current and future
-
Health testing (over the past 5 years 8% of dogs tested have been IVDD affected – it used to be 19%)
-
Support the breeding programme (to maintain a healthy population with good confirmation and temperament)
Joining the Club
The club runs solely for the benefit of it's members and their Lucas Terriers. Due to this, we can only accept new members who have a registered Lucas Terrier. We warmly welcome new members to join the Lucas Terrier family throughout their lifetime. Each member will receive three newsletters, have access to the members-only section of the website and receive invitations to member events.
The Club provides one year free membership to new puppy owners and will be invited to continue subscription the following year. You’ll find that there is plenty of help and advice for you at all stages of your journey with your new dog, as well as newsletters and an annual show.
The health of the breed is a top priority and there will be expected medical tests which will need your full attention to ensure your dog has a long and healthy life and, we hope, will contribute to the breeding programme and to grow the breed.
