      In 1972, Ruth Ann and her husband, Bob Naun, got their first Border Terrier, joined the BTCA, and attended their first Specialty with their too young puppy.  Since then they established the Oldstone (reg. prefix) line as active breeders, in the New York City metro area. They showed forty-five Border Terriers to their championship.  Of these, four are Gold Register of Merit (ROM), three are Silver ROM, and two are Bronze ROM.
