American Working Terrier Association
The American Working Terrier Association was founded in 1971 by Patricia Adams Lent to encourage and promote through fine literature(like the Down To Earth newsletter and this website, and field trials) the breeding, hunting, and ownership of terriers of correct size, conformation, and character to perform as working terriers. From modest beginnings, the organization has grown to include over two hundred members and holds field trials across the country and throughout the year.

New2 Jersey Beanfield Earthdog Club
In 1993 I decided to call a few people who were interested in hunting with terriers and dachshunds to arrange dates to get together to hunt. Everyone was interested in the idea of a group to share the hunt and to visit new locations. We ended up meeting in central New Jersey, near my farm, most of the time. The next year, using the name New Jersey Beanfield Earthdogs, I prepared a "meet card," listing dates and places of "meets" and one thing led to another. The group grew and we wanted to offer den trials to help people get to know their dogs and to see them do what their instincts dictated. An AWTA trial followed in 1994, and then we voted to become a formal club so we could give AKC Earthdog Tests. Our members hunt woodchucks in the summer and rats and fox in winter. We represent many breeds, including Australian, Bedlington, Border, Fox, Jack Russell, Welsh, West Highland White Terriers and Dachshunds, all doing what they love best.....WORKING.
