Richard Reynolds is both proud and grateful for his appointment to judge working terriers at one of the top terrier shows in the country of origin of many terrier breeds. He was privileged to meet and evaluate so many dogs of the multiple breeds and their owners who preserve the working terrier ethic in the United Kingdom.

I have had some great dogs. All were bred by others. They arrived by design, chance, or both. “A Secondhand Dog” is the story about Marcus.
I admit that, for me, it was love at first sight when I first met “Marcus” in Louisville. It wasn’t visions of sugar plums that danced in my head but a glorious succession of red, white, and blue rosettes and a personal invitation to my favorite social event, the Showdogs of the Year dinner. I […]
