My career in dogs began over 50 years ago when I acquired my first Miniature Schnauzer. As a child I was never allowed a pet. The first decision that my husband Bob and I made together was to have a dog. Over the years, I have had four different breeds— three from the terrier group. Keith and I met the year of the muddy Montgomery. Our passion for terriers brought us together.

For over a decade, Keith and Sharon built Shaireabs Bayleigh Welsh Terriers, experiencing immense success together. In mid 2017, Sharon retired, and continues to be proudly recognized as the Co-founder of Bayleigh Welsh Terriers, and mentor to Keith for Bayleigh Welsh Terriers.
