Over the years they have bred more than 50 Champion Airedale Terriers-many that have won group and Best In Show awards. Some received their Championships in the USA and Bermuda. Their greatest honour was in 1981 when a homebred bitch Am. Can. Bermuda Champion Cymbeline Special Angel became Top Terrier in Canada. They currently have dogs of Cymbeline breeding doing impressive winning in Russia. They have owned and shown Wire Fox Terriers, Standard Poodles, miniature Dachshunds (wire and long coated), and Lakeland Terriers.

She has judged in Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Russia, Ukraine, South Africa, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Brazil, Chile and Korea as well as many times in Canada and USA. 

She has extensive background in grooming terriers for the show ring and has given seminars on grooming and care of wirehaired dogs. She has also given handling seminars and judging seminars. She has experience judging junior handling.
