Mid-America Working Terrier Trial
Every fourth weekend in June, the Mid-America Working Terrier Association hosts our annual sanctioned terrier trial. It’s a weekend packed with excitement, community, and all things terrier.
From racing and go-to-ground to conformation, lure coursing, and more, our trial is a celebration of the working instincts and lively spirit these dogs are known for. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just curious about the breed, you’ll find friendly faces, fast paws, and plenty of fun. Spectators, newcomers, and dog lovers of all kinds are always welcome!

“ I don’t know who invented lure coursing, but I’d like to kiss them on the nose. The second I see that lure zip across the field—ZOOM!—I’m off like a rocket! My ears flap, my paws fly, and my heart races with pure joy. There’s nothing better than chasing that mysterious rabbit. If you’ve got legs and love to run, you have to try it!”

“Super Earth is my absolute favorite! It’s like the ultimate underground adventure, way more intense than your usual tunnel runs. The scent is strong, the route is tricky, and you’ve really got to dig deep (literally!) to prove your skills. I live for the challenge—every twist and turn gets my tail wagging.”
