I've been going to dog shows and helping raise my parents Airedale litters since I was 10 years old. Punch and I got our first Otterhound 8 years ago and joined the Otterhound Club of America the same year. Our foundation bitch, Ch. Corcra Gael Bristol Royale whelped her first litter in 2004 and her second litter in 2006. You can see photos of Bristol and her pups under "Adeline OHs".

Previous to Otterhounds, we had Australian Shepherds for 12 years, but only bred one litter because of worries about that breed's extensive health problems. The goal for each Adeline litter is to produce healthy, sound Otterhounds with good temperaments - though we are very proud that a pup from our second litter, Ch. Adeline's Sticky Wicket, is now the number 2 Otterhound in the country and the top bitch, and a pup from our first litter is in the OHCA Hall of Fame for his tracking ability. We currently live with four Otterhounds, Bristol, Orson, Tallulah and Ruby, and one elderly Aussie.
