I'm a lifelong dog lover but have always fancied terriers.  When I discovered AHTS after owning Boston Terriers and then my little Rat Terrier, Ginger, I was hooked. My first AHT was a rescue named Brodie, who is now approaching 17 years of age, and still doing great -- between naps. I try, when I can, to get out to shows and participate in the dog community and look forward to doing more shows in the Northeast as time permits. I hope we can build an active AHT show community and start a New England chapter of the AKC AHT parent club!
