2nd. of September 1984 was the date I went to collect my second wire fox terrier on this occasion from the home of Miss Linda Beak the breeder of the famous Newmaidley fox terriers. Newmaidley Cap of Corriecote, better known as Cameron was a real joy to own, full of character and spirit, not phased by anything yet so affectionate- he was the one who created my real love of the breed.
Not deterred by Linda, John and I decided to have a little fun with him and attended several open shows and a few Championship shows. Needless to say we got the bug!

What next? Our premises at that time were not suitable for breeding or housing several dogs, so bags were packed and we moved to Corrie Kennels. Now I had the required facilities so I could consider purchasing a bitch for showing and eventually to breed from. A very special girl entered my life- Iona-my foundation bitch.

Corriecote Scottish Icon who will be campaigned during 2000 is a fifth generation in a line of Champion producing males going back to Iona.
