HISTORY OF OTLEY BORDER TERRIERS
My life has been centered around animals, from my earliest memories, I wanted to be a veterinarian. Since that dream did not come true I went to the next best thing: Showing, loving, and caring about dogs and cats.
I started showing Irish Setters in 1973. While I had little success in the show ring they helped raise my children. A large male, my favorite, "Eric", taught two of my children how to walk, with undying patients and a tolerance for pain he carefully guided them as they hung on to his long red coat. He was my last and he passed away in 1987. I also showed, trained and admired German Shorthair Pointers up until 1995. They excelled in the field and as companions and watchdogs.
Otley Border Terriers was founded in 1986. I was looking for a small dog that was versatile, that could excel in the show ring as well as perform naturally in the field, come when they were called, gentle with children and loved other animals and people. After 26 years of breeding and showing the Border Terriers they have met and exceeded all of my expectations. I have bred Best in Show and Multiple Group Wining Border Terriers, and some of them have produced Get that went on to become record holders and receive Best in Show awards.
