Established in 1972, Blue Hill was originally known as "Mykiss" Kennel.   As a young adult on my own, I first started showing Yorkshire Terriers.   Having all my life dealt with hounds and spaniels, toys were a breeze.  However 6 months after my first show with the Yorkie, I fell in love with the Maltese and had to have them in my life. 

After researching many bloodlines and kennels, my first "show" Maltese came from Marge Rozik of Villa Malta Kennel.  I later fell in love with the Marcris line and with it's creator, Joyce Watkins.  With careful blending of bloodlines, hard work and lots of devotion, I was very comfortable and proud of what I had achieved. 

Several years later I changed the name to "Blue Hill" when we incorporated our American Saddlebred horses with the Maltese.  Showing both dogs and horses kept us busy but it was great fun for me as well as my children.  Living in upstate New York, our home was on a big hill and our house and barn were blue.  When looking down into the valley, a blue haze could be seen early in the morning, thus Blue Hill was born. 

Through the years I have titled to their championship many dogs of my own as well as for others.  I have always loved showing dogs and started showing on a professional level.  My daughter traveled with me and together we made a great team.  She loved gloating when she "beat" mom.  My daughter has taken a break to raise her own daughter and I now live in Florida still showing for myself and for others.
