About Us The mission of the Potomac Skye Terrier Club (PSTC) is to preserve and
promote interest in the Skye Terrier in the Middle Atlantic region of the United
States. In order to fulfill this mission, the club annually holds a specialty
show in conjunction with the Cherry Blossom dog show circuit. The club also
sponsors handling clinics, educational seminars, meetings, and social gatherings
for members. The The Potomac Skye Terrier Club was formed in the late 1950's by
a group of Skye Terrier enthusiasts in the Washington, D.C. area. The early
years were not very active for this small breed club. However, in the late
1960's, there was revived interest in the club and in 1969, the club sought
approval from the American Kennel Club to offer its own regional specialty show.
In 1974, the club held its first specialty show in April at the Old Dominion KC
show.
In 1986, the Potomac Skye Terrier Club elected to hold its specialty as an
independent show during the Cherry Blossom circuit. From 1986 through 1995, the
show was held at the Corner Kick, a soccer arena, in Gaithersburg, Maryland. In
1992, the club joined with the Columbia Terrier Association of Maryland. The
PSTC Specialty show moved to the Howard County Fairgrounds in West Friendship,
Maryland. The Potomac Skye Terrier Club is proud to have been a part of the
Columbia Terrier Association's first group show in 1996. At the Columbia Terrier
Association show, Skyes now have an opportunity to be appreciated by a wider
audience of terrier fanciers.
