About Kerry Blue Terriers |

The Majestic Story I had been breeding and showing Miniature Schnauzer's for quite a few years and had always admired Kerry's from a distance. If they were being shown near, or in my ring, before schnauzer judging, I always watched. Kerries looked so regal and impressive. I became very friendly with Aileen and Richard Santo who also bred Mini Schnauzers. They happened to own a Kerry and were at the time showing her; Ch. Blu Stars Kerri Dancer. “Maggie”, as they called her, was such a lovable dog I became very fond of the breed. One day Richie said to me “Doug, you have got to have one of “Maggie’s” puppies.” I did not think I could handle, or live, with a Kerry. Boy was I wrong. I arranged to get a puppy bitch from “Maggie’s” first litter, who eventually became Ch. Paxon' Majestic Emerald Isle. “Kelly”, as I called her, was not only a GREAT Kerry, she also became my pal. To this day I miss her, and that was more than 25 years ago. My friend, to this day, Aileen Santo, taught me everything about grooming and conditioning a Kerry, and was also there when I needed help. I guess it all paid off, because here I am today, showing and breeding wonderful Kerry Blues, including My Ch. Paxon’s Majestic Thane of Cawdor, “Mac”, who finished in the top twenty in 2002, and competed in the Eukanuba invitational in Orlando FL. Dec. 11, 2002. I am currently showing “Mac’s” young
