Club Events

Your committee organises Fun Days at different venues throughout the year and events at these Fun Days vary depending upon the season. During the hot months we enjoy a cool evening walk and at other times the agility equipment or lure chasing machine is available. Dogs and owners enjoy these fun days which often include a sausage sizzle with drinks and cakes.

Looking for a Tenterfield?

PUPS - The breeders mentioned on this website are registered with Dogswest and strive to keep the Tenterfield Terrier Standard in mind to breed dogs with conformation true to the standard that also have good natures and minimum health problems.
RE-HOMING - On occasions a Tenterfield needs to find a new home which so contact the club if you are looking to rehome a dog or to offer a new home.

Do not be tempted to buy a Tenterfield Terrier puppy from a pet shop. Talk to the Tenterfield Terrier Club before you buy. There are too many heartbreaking stories to be told about pet shop puppies.

The puppy you buy direct from a breeder is guaranteed to be vaccinated, micro-chipped and wormed. If you want a pup as a pet or show dog you know it has had the best of care. In most cases you can view one or both parents so you can get a better idea of how your puppy will grow up and what its temperament is likely to be.

You will receive accredited papers from either the National Tenterfield Terrier Council of Australia and/or Canine of Australia Inc (DogsWest). You may contact DogsWest to ensure the breeder is registered. By purchasing a Tenterfield Terrier from a Club breeder you will receive help and support of experienced members of the Tenterfield Terrier Club of WA. You will also be welcome as a club member.
