Alix was born on August 4 th 1949 in Roslin, Scotland. We were married in August of 1968 and moved to Canada in November to start a new life together. We had three beautiful children and started breeding Westies in September of 1994.

Alix became involved in both the West Highland White Terrier Club in Canada and the United States as well as Westie rescue. She was also a part of the Scottish terrier club of Canada . Alix passed away peacefully on December 22, 2007 at McMaster Medical Centre surrounded by her family. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her.

Note from the webmaster: Alix raised Westies under the prefix GlenRoslin. She served the CWHWTC both as editor of the Westie News and as Secretary. Among other things, she will be remembered as having updated the Club Constitution, a tremendous task.

There was one thing we could always be assured of when visiting the Canadian Westie Specialty.  Somewhere, outside the ring, could be found a big bear of a man having a draw on his ever present pipe.  Jim Scott was a gentle giant, a friend to all and a man with a dry wit.  Everyone who ever talked to him came away feeling they had met a new friend.

Jim and his wife Peggy, purchased their first Westies in 1958 from Victor Blochin.  They were Bencruachen MacDuff the 4^th and Bencruachen Morag.  In 1959, they registered their kennel as Macmor after their beloved two: Mac for MacDuff and Mor from Morag.  They became members of the Canadian, American, British and English Westie clubs in 1959. 

Over the years, they were quite successful in both the whelping box and the conformation show ring finishing over 25 champions and winning the 1975 National Specialty with their homebred dog, Ch. Seumas O’Macmor.   Am/Can Ch. Macmor Magnum and import, Am/Can Ch. Whitebriar Jonnington were two of their more recent stars and that were well received by the Westie community.  To the best of my knowledge, all Jim’s dogs were owner prepared and handled to these wins.

Out of respect to a great man, the CWHWTC dedicated its 1990 Specialty to Jim.  As usual, he took it in stride without a lot to say except thank you.  Jim served the Club well.  In both 1964 and again in 1992, he was president; from 1991 through 1993, he acted as Specialty show chairman; in 1995, he judged Puppy Sweeps.  Throughout this time period, he continued to show his dogs and keep us entertained with his quiet wit.

Around 1970, Jim and Peggy decided to add a little colour to their lives and bring in Scotties.  I have met a number of people that had these “other terriers” from Macmor and heartily agreed as they recounted what lovely people the Scotts were.

Jim was always approachable and unfailingly willing to help.  He was truly a lovely and kind man and will be missed.

For those of us that had the privilege to know him, we are saddened to announce his passing.  We will never be able to stand at ringside without seeing him there with his sheepish smile, the devilish twinkle of his eye and, of course, puffing on his pipe.

Farewell for now Jim.  Until we meet again.

Dale was the proud mother of Candy and Cindy and beloved wife of John Cerniuk.

She loved all animals and children but was especially devoted to her Westies, Lucy and Sassy.

She will be sadly missed by all whose lives she touched. She was a friend to all.
