Stonehedge Talitha Star (Moxie)
Our Moxie, the foundation bitch of our our line, was obtained from Terrier Judge Tom Natalini of Stonehege Kennels. Moxie's heritage goes back to some of the famous kennels of England. Moxie is the heart and soul of the HopelPopel family and her lineage runs though all of our Scotties. She proved to be a wonderful mother producing three litters of beautiful puppies that still "listen to Mom" when they get together. Her sweet, feminine personality and beautiful silver brindle coat have attracted many fans especially in Andover, MA where she resides with Susan and Tom.
Welcome to Highgrove Hill, in Western Massachusetts! e-mail: highgrovehill@gmail.com Our Story
Although Terriers had been a part of Gail's life since childhood, our Scottie adventures began with 'Jilly' over 20 years ago. Back then, our six year old daughter and only child, Annette longed for a forever playmate. Along came our tiny Jill. For the next twelve years the two were best friends. Sadly, just before Annette left for college our little Jilly passed away at age 13. Our love and interest in the Scottish Terrier breed drew us to the show world began with 'Jasper'. Just for fun, Gail took this 9 month old pup to a show and received a 3 point major, quite an honor for a novice. As Gail and Jasper learned their craft together the awards kept coming. Jasper became our first champion. Underlying Jasper's prowness in the ring is his wonderful, sunny nature and happy- go- lucky,loving personality. He has sired several litters with beautiful puppies we began showing his daughter, Caledonia and she finished her dual championships very quickly. His son Prince is currently being shown as a Special with two championships he is now working on his Grand Championship title. In the ten years we have been showing our Scotties we have been blessed with six champions. We have been rewarded, too, with the friendship of those that believed in us and our line. The show ribbons are wonderful, but more important our lives have been enriched by the wonderful friends and mentors we have met through our Scotties. It is so wonderful to watch our dogs excel in the agility ring, doing obedience training, visiting nursing home patients and bringing so much happiness to their owners.
