A NEW GRAND CHAMPION FOR TULLYBLOOM! With
his Best of Breed win and Grand Champion major the first day of the Lone Star State Classic dog show cluster in Dallas,
Texas (December 6-9, 2012), Commander Chaos earned his Grand Champion title
to end the year 2012 as GCH CH TullyBloom's Covert Commander Chaos. Our thanks to Breeder/Judge Dr. Frederic B. Asking for this very special win at the North Texas
Terrier Club show, supported by the Trinity Valley West Highland White Terrier Club. Commander went on to take Best
of Breed wins the next two days under Judges Betsy Dale and Robert Sein (making the cut in the large Terrier Group on Saturday
under Judge Betsy Dale) and was Select Dog on Sunday under Judge Dr. H. Scot Kellogg. CC missed the major she needed
to complete her championship title, but not by much, taking Winners Bitch the frist day and Bred-by 1st place with Reserve
wins two of the three other days. In addition to
retiring from the show ring at year-end as a new Grand Champion, Commander Chaos also managed to earn a spot of distinction as one of the Top Westie dogs (#11 bred and #18 all breed) in the country
for 2012. |
CYPRESS CREEK KENNEL CLUB SHOWS Commander Chaos won Best
of Breed both days at the CyCreek KC shows in Houston on November 10 and 11, 2012, under Judges Rosalind Kraus Kramer
and Judy E. Thill (pictured above). CC was Winners Bitch/Best of Winners/Best Opposite Sex on Saturday and she was Reserve Winners Bitch on Sunday;
she also picked up another Terrier Bred-by Group Two award. |
TRIUMPHANT AT TRAVIS COUNTY Commander Chaos (pictured on the right above during ringside touch-up) won Best of Breed both days at the Travis County Kennel Club shows in Austin
on October 27 and 28, 2012, picking up two more majors toward his Grand Champion title. CC (pictured on the left above) was Reserve Winners Bitch on Saturday under Judge Keith Simmons, then Winners Bitch/Best
of Winners/Best Opposite Sex on Sunday under Judge Manuel Queijeiro, and also picked up the Terrier Bred-by Group Two
award. |
Commander Chaos and CC - The New Storm Chasers Hurricane Isaac had weakened to a tropical storm with heavy rains on August 30, 2012 by the time
we arrived in Monroe, Louisiana for the four-day Cotton Land Dog Show Cluster (Bayou KC and Vicksburg KC of Mississippi, August
31 – September 3, 2012). Commander Chaos (top photo) earned points toward his Grand Champion title
by winning Best of Breed the first three days under Judges Jane Roppolo, Gloria L. Geringer and Fred G. Ferris, and then took
Best Opposite Sex when CC (directly above) won Best of Breed on the last day of the show under Judge Edd E. Bivin.
CC started the weekend as Reserve Winners Bitch the first day, and then pointed out with extra points by taking Winners
Bitch the rest of the weekend plus Best of Breed on Monday. |
COMMANDER CHAOS CAPTURES WINS IN DALLAS In addition to a fun trip,
fun friends, and a few really enjoyable dinners, our trip to the Lone Star State Classic cluster in Dallas (July
5-8, 2012) also included a couple of really nice wins for our young champion, Commander Chaos. CC had a good weekend, too, placing well in the ribbons each day in her large, competitive Bred-by class,
plus taking the reserve major win the first day. On the first day of the cluster,
Paula showed Commander Chaos to a Best Opposite Sex win with an entry of 4-11-3-4 at the North Texas Terrier Club show
under Judge Kathi Brown for a 4-point Grand Champion major; and then he won Best of Breed with an entry of 5-11-3-6 for a
5-point Grand Champion major at the Greater Collin Kennel Club show under Judge David M. Krogh. |
NEW CHAMPION COMMANDER CHAOS; AND SUCCESS FOR SISTER CC Introducing new Champion TullyBloom's Covert Commander Chaos (pictured with Paula above). Lacking a single point for his championship title, Commander Chaos was Best
of Winners from the Bred-by Exhibitor class for a four-point major the first day of the four-day Cajun Cowboy Cluster (June
7-10, 2012) in Lake Charles, Louisiana; then Judge Barbara Dempsey Alderman put him up for Best of Breed over
the special; she also gave littermate TullyBloom's Classified Credentials ("CC") the reserve major from the Bred-by bitch class. Commander Chaos took Best Opposite Sex the second day of the Acadiana
Kennel Club show, then Select Dog the next two days at the Calcasieu Kennel Club shows (our thanks to Jennifer Harper for
handling him in the ring as a move-up special). CC won a four-point major the second day under Judge Dawn Hansen
(pictured above right), then won another reserve (5 point) major on the last day under Judge Michele L. Billings. |
COMMANDER CHAOS AT THE WHWTCA NATIONAL ROVING Paula and Commander Chaos flew
to Maryland for the Columbia Terrier Association show and for the West Highland White Terrier Club of America National
Roving Sweepstakes and Specialty in Lutherville-Timonium on April 20 and 21, 2012, respectively. Commander Chaos made
a strong showing against the national competition, winning the Bred-by Exhibitor class both days and placing third
in his National Puppy Sweepstakes class. We flew home with some very nice trophies! |
LUNCH FOR THE WINNER TullyBloom's Classified Credentials ("CC") was Winners Bitch for another point at the San Jacinto Kennel Club show in Crosby, Texas, on Saturday, April 7, 2012,
under Judge Lenora M. Riddle. We then treated her to lunch on the way home. CC is pictured above with a full tummy at
the Potbelly Sandwich Shop in Houston. |
ANOTHER POINT FOR CC TullyBloom's Classified Credentials ("CC") took a quick trip out to Navasota for the Brazos Valley Kennel Club show on Saturday, March 31, 2012, and won the Winners
Bitch ribbon from the Bred-by Exhibitor class under Judge Norman L. Patton. |
A WINNING WEEKEND FOR COMMANDER CHAOS AND SISTER CC TullyBloom's Covert Commander Chaos won his first Best of Breed (shown above), from the Bred-by Exhibitor class, at the Houston Kennel Club show on Saturday,
March 17, 2012, under Terrier Judge Lydia Coleman Hutchinson. Littermate TullyBloom's Classified Credentials ("CC") was Winners Bitch at the same show, also shown by Paula in the Bred-by Exhibitor class. The next day, at the Galveston
County Kennel club show on Sunday, March 18, 2012, only CC was shown and she again captured the Winners Bitch ribbon, this
time under Judge Gloria L. Geringer. Just two points shy of his championship title, Commander Chaos will take a
bit of a break from the show ring. |
COMMANDER CHAOS CHARGES TO THE LEAD IN THE NEW YEAR TullyBloom's Covert Commander Chaos captured wins at his first shows of the New Year from the Bred-by Exhibitor class. Commander Chaos was Winners Dog/Best
of Winners on Saturday, February 18, 2012, under Judge Alfred J. Ferruggiaro (pictured above), and was Winners Dog
on Sunday, February 19, 2012, under Judge Sandra Anderson at the Guadalupe Valley Dog Fanciers events in San Marcos, Texas.
