Mrs. Butcher had a great eye for breed type. Her Cote de Neige Kennels were established in the 1930s, and her influence on the breed was monumental. She, like Edith Smith, was a true "breeder's breeder". Her breeding career produced outstanding Pyrs, and she was very well regarded for her breeding program.

Marjorie stressed the importance of outstanding quality bitches in a breeding program. The Cote de Neige bitches were outstanding winners and producers.

The famous Quibbletown Kennels were essentially founded on the Cote de Neige lines, and Seaver and Edith were mentored by Marjorie Butcher. We will present much more about Marjorie in future articles and photographs.
