| Marci acquired her first
bedlington terrier from Coral Anderson in 1998. Her name is Champion
Victoria's Little Angel and she has produced twelve champions to date. Marci
founded her kennel based on the concept of careful breeding: not only
champion quality bedlingtons, but also clear and healthy blood lines in
regard to Copper Storage disease. Marci's primary goal is to breed
bedlington terriers for the purpose of producing healthy and competitive
quality dogs based on the emerging science of genetic testing. Furthermore,
with the expertise provided by her uncle, Howard G. Rush, DVM, current
Director and full Professor of Veterinary Research at the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor, Marci has been able to access information and ongoing
research data on the diseases endemic to bedlington terriers. With the help
of her niece, Emily Gutter, a genetic counselor, Marci has patterned her
breeding program to optimize the likelihood of reducing risk of genetic
conditions. |
