Juanita was our fourth Canadian champion, winning a Best Puppy in Group in 1995 and finishing with a Best of Breed over 10 other Airedales in November 1996.

In October 1997 she completed her International championship in just one weekend with back-to-back Group Firsts.

In January 1998 she completed her American championship in just six shows with three majors under respected terrier judges Edd Embry Bivin, William Bergum and Lydia Coleman Hutchinson.

In Canada, as a specials, Juanita won 28 Best of Breeds, won the Group 3 times and placed in Group an additional 14 times, during July, August and September of 1998 [see image 1 above]. Included in the above wins are Best of Breed at the Airedale Terrier Club of Canada Western Booster, and Group 3rd at the All Terrier Club of Alberta Speciality (defeating 129 terriers), both under respected Airedale breeder/judge Mrs. Susan Kealy from Ireland. Also included is Group 4th at the British Columbia All Terrier Club Regional Speciality under respected terrier breeder/judge Mrs. Jo Ann Dutton [see image 2 above].

Juanita went on maternity leave in October, at which time we believe that she was Number One Airedale in Canada. We do know for sure that she was Number One at August 8, 1998 as reported by Terrier Times [see below].

Just before going on maternity leave, Juanita went to the Airedale Terrier Club of America Speciality at Montgomery on October 4, 1998, where, with an entry of 207 Airedales, she made the cut in Best of Breed under respected Airedale breeder/judge Mrs. Virginia Latham Smith [see image 3 above]. The previous day at Devon she also made the cut in Best of Breed under respected terrier judge Mr. Edd Embry Bivin.
