Canada's #1 Scottish Terrier for 2016!
In only 10 weekends of being shown, Ryder is Canada's #1 Scottish Terrier. He is a multiple Terrier Group Winner!  Back in 2014, this boy was a Best Puppy in Show winner at his second weekend out. Congratulations to all involved.

Fernrigg's Steve Martin (Stevie) won Group 1st at the May 2016 Kelowna Kennel Club show under judge Ms. Virginia L Lyne - owner/breeder/handled!
"The judges comments on him were very complimentary and we floated home on the excitement of the win. :-) Stevie is the nicest Border Terrier we have bred in 16 years at this game. He is line bred from Kandu's Marathon Man (Miles) on both sides and we think he looks much like this Grand sire. We are looking forward to showing him this year and believe he will do very well in the ring!"

From Margaret Jones:
"It was a wonderful occasion to work with a talented production team, a cast of more than 50 and a young Cairn terrier who loved every moment. It was a challenge to train a 2 year old Cairn but I am thrilled to say she was a 'star'!! The students were fantastic and 'Dorothy' and 'Toto' were a great hit! It was a wonderful experience that highlighted the versatility of a Cairn Terrier."
