The Japanese Terrier Club of America (JTCA) is an organization committed to the Japanese Terrier conservation in North America. Achieved through cultivating a community of knowledgeable and responsible breed enthusiasts. Our main purpose is to ensure that Japanese Terrier ownership and breeding are handled responsibly. We believe that the JTCA will act as a community-building organization for the Japanese Terrier in North America, with future JTCA events including gatherings for owners and individuals interested in meeting the breed, conformation shows, and performance trials.
