Activities and Engagement

Norsk Terrier Klub is highly active in organizing events that foster community and showcase the quality of their breeds. A primary example of their engagement is the hosting of double exhibitions and puppy shows, such as the upcoming event scheduled for June 2026 in Sarpsborg. These events provide a platform for breeders and owners to demonstrate their dogs' adherence to breed standards and to connect with fellow enthusiasts.

Support for Breeders and Members

The club places a strong emphasis on supporting the next generation of dog owners and maintaining high standards among breeders. They offer a specialized breeder recruitment program, which allows breeders to enroll their puppy buyers at a reduced membership rate for the first year. Furthermore, the club maintains an active directory of breeders, providing a reliable resource for those looking to acquire a puppy from reputable sources. By facilitating these connections and providing educational resources, Norsk Terrier Klub continues to play a vital role in the health and development of the terrier population in Norway.
