Western Fox Terrier Breeders Association
Celebrating
100 years in 2007
100 years young and
still going strong
In
June, 2007,
WFTBA is celebrating its centennial anniversary. It's probably
safe to assume that the founders of the club never imagined their
organization would endure for 100 years or become the vibrant breed
club it is today, but that's exactly what has happened thanks to the
strong commitment of the club members of the past, present and
(hopefully) the next 100 years.
The WFTBA has changed very little from it's beginnings. The
club's objectives are the same in 2007 as they were in 1907, that being
to promote and steward a breed of animal that cannot be dined our love
and devotion - the Fox Terrier. According to WFTBA Club President
Marjory Sonoga, membership remains strong and active. "The bridge
between decades has always been the strong commitment of our members",
she said. "This dedication has played a vital role in keeping the
WFTBA as one of the premier breed clubs in the country".
The Early Years
The Western Fox Terrier Breeders Association was founded
in 1907 shortly after the great San Francisco fire by Walter W.
Stettheimer and Irving C. Ackerman.
