Mr. Robert J. Shreve

Bob Shreve was raised in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with a Smooth Fox Terrier as his best friend. Shortly after graduating from college, a fraternity brother offered him a German Shepherd Dog puppy. In 1968, the Shreve children decided that the Shepherd was too big for doll clothes and they wanted a smaller dog. As a 10th Anniversary present to his wife, Marietta, he purchased a West Highland White Terrier. Within a year, their eldest daughter was given a Wire Fox Terrier and, for the next 25 years, Marietta and Bob bred Westies and Wires Foxes and showed them throughout the Rocky Mountain region.

Bob was elected President of Greeley Kennel Club in 1971 and served as President on five occasions for a total of 21 years. He also served six years on the Board of Directors of the West Highland White Terrier Club of America.
