Ch Bettirna Believeitornot

Sue Jolly (pictured above) is has been involved in Airedales in NSW since 1988. She began with a Sophaire bitch bred from Strongfort and Bushveldt lines. In the following years she has shown Airedales under the Lufttal prefix until she obtained a Belltirna Airedale from Ken Campbell 'Belltirna Believeitornot' who became the first Supreme and Neuter titled Airedale Champion. She then imported American Grand Champion Stirling Wildside Eclipse from USA who appears at the top of this page. He is a beautiful Airedale with lots to offer the breed in overall type, size and general balance. Yes, that's me in the picture as it was my pleasure to award him Runner-up in Group from a strong line-up of quality Terriers whilst judging in NSW in 2016. Sue is still actively breeding but now under The prefix Belltirna which Ken Cambell  prefix which he transferred to Sue.
