There
was never a place that the African proverb were more true
than in this sport of dogs;
"It takes an entire community to raise a child."
In
the twelve years since my first smooth wandered into my
life, I have had the tremendous fortune to have mentors
who have raised me up in this sport to compete evenly with
them. Western Fox Terriers Breeders Association is the best
club any newbie dog enthusiast could have hoped to join
into.
My Smooths have earned titles in Conformation, Earthdog
and Obedience competition. I have bred eleven litters of
Smooth puppies which have so far, produced fourteen champions,
total;
there are others which are "pointed" and some
too young to show yet!
I
have traveled to specialty shows in different parts of the
country, supporting many regional specialties, the American
Fox Terrier Club & the Smooth Fox Terrier Association
of America.
I also had the good fortune to make friends with some of
Australian's finest Fox Terrier fanciers: Optimo, Springfox
& Rama, when I traveled there in 1995. I am forever
indebted to the support of Mrs. Jan Braithwaite, Melbourne
Australia for entrusting me with my foundation bitch, Australian
/ American CH Mansevale Madeira Mydear, ROM, "Connie."
As a science teacher of 17 years, I can honestly say I love
people, puzzles and learning... I view my efforts in breeding,
studying, rearing,
training and exhibiting Smooths as another, richer, academic
pursuit...
and I am in it for life!
