My partner and I obtained our first Welsh Terrier in February 1995. Baxter was only 8 weeks old. Our second Welsh came to us in the early spring of 2000. He was a nine-month old rescue pup named Bertie. The Welsh Terrier Club of America and the Welsh Terrier Association of Canada (WTAC) organized our adoption of Bertie. Both dogs were trained in obedience and agility, and have competed in CKC, NADAC and AAC trials. Baxter was also trained as a hospital therapy dog and volunteered in a downtown Toronto hospital for two and half years. The WTAC asked us to represent the Association and the breed at the Celebration of the Dog - Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in 1998. I designed the display and won Best Booth in Terrier Group that year, and Best Booth in Show in 2001. In order to offset the costs, I developed a line of clothing called WelshWear which was subsequently sold over the Internet and was greatly supported by the members of the Welsh List on Yahoo.

I am presently organizing my stories about the various adventures of our dogs into a book, and excerpts can be viewed at "Da Boys" - a working title.
