"Morris & Essex will be the place to be seen, with many people planning their wardrobes – especially hats – well in advance!
This outdoor dog show features huge Renaissance tents flying the club’s orange and navy blue banners, as well as 30 rings showcasing 80 of the American Kennel Club’s finest breed judges. More than 100 breeds, including the Parson Russell Terrier, will hold national specialties, regional and statewide specialties, and supported entries. As was tradition during Mrs. Dodge’s era, entries and judges are expected from around the world. Only conformation judging will be held, consistent with Mrs. Dodge’s time as well.
Hospitality and gentility are two of the many features distinguishing Morris & Essex from other outdoor shows. Picture elaborate flower displays, and specially designed raised platforms for Group winners; imagine an outdoor dog show with no generators or noise, just the chirping of birds and the voice of the announcer.
At precisely noon, a lunch bell is rung, and all judging stops. Exhibitors are each presented with a scrumptious and beautifully designed “box lunch,” included as part of the entry fee. During lunch hour, everyone dines; in the judge’s tent, live classical music is played, with linen and fine china displayed.

Our Annual General Meeting
Every year, we gather as a whole to discuss the business of the PRTAA, celebrate our accomplishments, and outline our goals as a Club for the future. Of course, we also take time to recognize the year-end awards that our Parson Russell Terriers have earned.
Every member is encouraged to attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM), whether you are entered in the National Specialty dog show or not. The event will be streamed live from the banquet room via Zoom for those unable to travel. There will be a silent auction, and of course, great food and quality time spent with fellow members.
