The New England Terrier Club was
founded in 1969 as a non-profit
organization by breeder/exhibitors of
most of the terrier breeds recognized by
the AKC.  Its first meetings were held in
the Greater Boston area but the
membership quickly included serious
terrier breeders from throughout the 6
state area.  The membership remains
approximately 85 people.  Most of its
activities are held in Massachusetts.

The NETC's purpose is the
development and promotion of interest
in pure-bred terriers through education,
encouragement of breeding and
training, fostering of shows, exhibits
and matches, developing and
displaying all the capabilities of terriers
and dissemination of knowledge and
information to the general public.
