Terrier Owners
Josh Martin
Josh Martin is the creator of the Terrier Owner blog and the Terrier Owner YouTube Channel.
He created this site specifically due to his journey with his female Jack Russell Terrier named Luna.
He figured that if he had thousands of questions that came to mind during the adoption, after the adoption, and about every day since, others must have the same questions as well.
Hence, Terrier Owner was born.
This website is designed to be a community of individuals learning and diving deeper into their relationships with their pets and families.
Kevin William
Kevin William grew up with a female West Highland White Terrier named Murphy who lived to be 16 years old.
He currently owns a rescue dog named Lily, who is a Labrabull – part Labrador Retriever and part American Pit Bull Terrier.
You can see the results of Lily’s DNA test here.
Combined, Kevin has almost three decades of experience as a terrier owner.
