| Biography |
||
| I grew up reading Popular Dogs magazine and liked Kate Webb Seemann's ads. Small ads, but pictures of Borders being dogs: with woodchucks, kids, swimming, and pups in a basket. I graduated from college and was working in NYC. I wanted a dog small enough for an apartment and able to fit into a carrier and ride on trains, buses, and the subway, yet rugged enough to enjoy the country when I went home. In March of 1963 Jody came to live with me and was the perfect city dog. She became Mex Ch Dalquest Jody of Town Hill CD. She accompanied me to graduate school at UCLA and produced my first litter – and my first blue and tan, Ch Bandersnatch Brillig CD. Borders have been part of my life since 1963. My dogs are house dogs, many sleep on the bed, and live a full life as dogs. I have titled dogs in Obedience, Rally, Earthdog (dating back to the start of AWTA), Tracking, CAT, FastCAT and now do Nose (Scent) Work. I have done some natural hunting, but that needs a young active (human) partner to dig dens. I have been an active member of Cornell Companions Therapy Dogs for its entire 25 years. I have bred only 52 Border litters. Most of my pups have gone to companion homes but many could have finished then or now. I am proud of the fact that most of those that stay with us have titles at both ends of their names. My goal in breeding has been to produce healthy dogs of good type and temperament. I want all owners and breeders to remember that a Border should be able to live with the family, and go out in the field, and participate in multiple venues that the family enjoys. I founded the BTCA Health and Genetics committee in 1972 and we work to educate breeders and owners. I have been honored to judge the BTCA specialties in 2002 and 2012, as well as regional specialties and supported entries. I judge Border Terriers, Otterhounds, Junior Showmanship, and Earthdog. |
