Dana Bryson – Founder of Brywood Inc.

At ten years of age, my step-dad walked me down to the Greenfield Kennels, owned by the renowned handler and judge, Peter Green. He asked Peter to find me something to do, because I loved animals.

For the next eight years, I showed up, every day after school, at Greenfield Kennels, home of the top terriers in the nation. Peter and his staff taught me how to groom, care for and show dogs. I began by lead breaking puppies, and gradually learned all that is necessary to be part of a support team, and eventually an independent handler. I traveled with the “Green Team” up and down the east coast as dogs were shown, that were in their care. Eventually, I became a competitor in junior showmanship, successfully exhibiting an Airedale as my first show dog. Eventually, I settled on the Wire Fox Terrier as my breed, and continued on in juniors competition.
