I have been showing Airedale Terriers for 19 years and Irish Terriers for 8 years, however my first introduction to dog showing was during the 60’s and 70’s with Great Dane’s, Afghan’s and Poodle’s.

 A short break to bring up the children and then back into the hobby, obtaining my first Airedale Terrier from Beryl McCallum (Glentops) in 1984, Glentops Aimin’ High  Sire CH. The Deerhunter of Saredon. Dam CH Glentops Raggitty Ann. From these lines I have bred consistent winners and ticket holders.

 In 1996 I obtained my first three Irish Terriers, from Mrs. June Symonds, Gabledown Pocahontas at Sujoncla and Gabledown Sitting Bull at Sujoncla (Adam and Eve) both from Sire CH. Edbrios Duplicate, Dam CH. Chantalle’s Tanya of Gabledown. Also an older male bred by Mr. Kevin Anderson (Kerrykeel) Chantalle’s Drummer Boy at Sujoncla (Drummer) Sire Gabledown All That Jazz of Shallcome, Dam CH Kerrykeel Rose. Older brother of CH Gentleman Joe at Dehra. Best in Show St Patrick’s Day Show 1997.

 In 1998 a further three bitch puppies arrived, Kerrykeel Roisin Dubh at Sujoncla, (Clara) Sire CH Edbrios Duplicate, Dam Kerrykeel Chantalle’s Scarlet O’Hara. Gabledown Belle Fleur at Sujoncla (Ester) Sire Gabledown Apache Brave, Dam Penmire Sparkle. Penmire An Coonan at Sujoncla (Blit) Sire Penmire Sirius, Dam Gabledown Roisin of Penmire.

 Sujoncla is small select Kennels who try to breed Airedale Terriers and Irish Terriers of quality both for the show ring and as family pets. I also feel that the temperament of my terriers is of the utmost importance.

 My commitment to my dogs and the world of dogs extends to being a member of the committee’s of both the National Airedale Terrier Association, and the Irish Terrier Association, I am also a founder member of the British & Irish Dog Breeds Preservation Trust. All of my terriers are prepared and handled by myself, loved and chauffeured to the shows by my best friend and husband John.
