Professor Anthony Milton was elected the first Chairman of the Club, under its new constitution, in 2005. Between 2004 and 2005, he had been chairman of the committee.

Anthony obtained his first Border Terrier, Foxhill Farthing, in 1975 from Dorothy Miller who lived with her husband John near Peebles. With the death of Dorothy and John, the Foxhill name had sadly died out.

Anthony lived for over twenty years in the village of Bieldside in Aberdeenshire, and took as his affix the name Baillieswells, as this was the name of the wells in front of his garden. All the earlier Baillieswells were named after English and US coins, but from 1989, they were all named after single malt whiskys. Before moving to a tiny village in rural South Cambridgeshire in 1996, Anthony was a long time committee member of the Scottish Border Terrier Club, and also served on the committee of the Border Terrier Club.

Just before coming to Cambridge, he judged the East Anglia Border Terrier Club’s open show in April 1996, joining the club soon after moving to East Anglia. He was elected to the committee in 1998.

Anthony first started judging in 1986 and was passed by the Kennel Club to judge at Championship shows in 1999. In 2003, Anthony judged Border Terriers at the Swedish Terrier Club’s Centenary Championship Show in Stockholm.

Though now officially retired, Anthony still teaches a few students at Cambridge University.
