Am. Can. Ch. Katydid D'Estiny at Monterra was our first showdog and the guy that started us in the Airedale show world. What can you say about a dog who was born with your name on him? After we had decided to get an airedale to show and possible be used in a breeding program, I found a breeder in South Dakota named Karen Howell(Katydid), co-breeding a litter with Diane Schlicht of D'Aire, who had a breeding planned that looked interesting to me.  I began thinking about names and "Monty" seemed like the logical name for a male who would be the first to be shown under the Monterra kennel name.
