The Kennel name of Sulan Border Terriers came into being over 20 years ago in England. Sue's interests include participating in conformation and performance events. In 2007 as breeder/owner/handler, she steered Am/Can Ch Sulan English Rosebud RA. NA. NAJ. CGC. V (Figgy) to the position of Number 5 bitch in “breed “ and Number 6 bitch “all breed “ nationally. All four Sulan girls (Maggie, Lucy, Tessa and Figgy) enjoy taking part in agility, Rally obedience and Earthdog, as well as sharing prime positions on the couch with Sue and husband Alan.

Sue's other passions include breeding and raising puppies, also educating and mentoring people new to the breed. In the capacity of BTCCO Secretary and Education Co-ordinator she hopes to fulfill these obligations for the benefit of the breed.
