Tallywood Show Wins

AM.CAN. CH TALLYWOOD TRANSCENDENCE

What's New in 2008?

MAY It's now CH.TALLYWOOD AYCHESS ROCKSTAR.  Tommy Lee finished in four days of shows and threw in a Group 3rd/BPIG for good measure.  TIZZY also went to the show and picked up a Group 1st and a Group 2nd. APRIL We took TALLYWOOD AYCHESS ROCKSTAR (Tommy Lee) to his first show and he came away with seven points and TWO Best Puppy In Groups! We were delighted to learn that AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD TEMPERANCE finished 2007 as Canada's Number ONE Rough Collie!  AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD FASHIONISTA was #12 Rough in America for 2007. MARCH This is the biggest brag of our lives....AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD TRANSCENDENTAL (Tazo) was just awarded Best Of Breed at the 2008 Collie Club of America National Specialty.  We are honored and humbled by this award, and thank Thomas W. Coen for finding Tazo in an amazing group of specials.  This is a dream come true and we can't stop pinching ourselves.  Tazo is co-owned and loved by Keri & Bruce Campbell. AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD TEMPERANCE (Tizzy) was in the final cut of four bitches, and was awarded a coveted Award of Merit.  Our beloved AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD FASHIONISTA made two cuts, unfortunately she was ill and not showing well.  Her brother, and Tazo's brother, AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD TECHNICOLOR also made a cut.  Thank you to all our friends, old and new, for their phone calls and emails.  It has been overwhelming and we so appreciate everything from everyone.   February We had a great time on our trip to Auburn, WA.  The first specialty was won by AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD CLARION ABSTRACT from the veteran's class!!!  Puzzle is owned and loved by Louise Watson and shown by Rod Oishi.  Zen, AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD ENLIGHTED, was also Best In Sweepstakes! The next day was Vogue's (AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD FASHIONISTA) turn to shine - BOB under Linda Robbins for her ninth specialty best!  RWB went to our very badly behaved puppy TALLYWOOD WHIMSICAL, and Best in Sweepstakes to AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD ENLIGHTENED. Sunday saw BOB being awarded again to Vogue, her 10th! specialty BOB.  We were even more thrilled when Jackie Corwin awarded Zen another five point major to finish at ten months of age!. January We went down to the huge Rose City Cluster shows in Portland and had a great time. Vogue won the breed two days and was BOS two days.  Her half brother Zen, TALLYWOOD ENLIGHTENED picked up a huge five point major, going all the way to BOV over six specials.  He also picked up a major reserve.

NEWS FROM 2007

Zen became CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD ENLIGHTENED in November, starting and finishing his Canadian title in one weekend!  (pending CKC confirmation)  He picked up two breeds over specials, and went on to a Group 3rd and a Group 4th, and two Best Puppy in Groups.

Smoky, WILD WEST'S MERCURY RISING picked up another major, going BOV over specials in Utah.  He now needs just two points to finish his American title. And, we tearfully said goodbye to two of our greatest girls, AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD CROSSHEART WINDSWEPT and AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD STATE OF THE HEART. Tryst and Aspen were truly the loves of our lives, and every dog here goes back to one or both of them.  We miss them more than we can say.

We have some sad news to announce.  Today (February 10th) we lost out beloved AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD HEART OF THE MATTER (Kindle).  Kindle was one of our most adored girls - we called her our Quintessential Collie.  She embodied everything that is amazing and good in our breed.  She will live on here through her beautiful kids and grandkids, and in our hearts.

We had a good first weekend in Canada at the large Alberta Kennel Club shows.  TECHNICOLOR won the breed two days out of three, and threw in a Group 2 for good measure.  He also won BOB at the ASSCA specialty under Tom Coen!  SOUTHLAND'S LAST CURTAIN CALL, a young Bowen Island son owned by Mike Cheatham, is here visiting from Tennessee.  "Curt Brownleg" was BOW/BP at the two all breeds he was entered at, and also at the ASSCA specialty.  Our co-owned bitch, SOUTHLAND SYNCHRONICITY, was Winners Bitch at the ASSCA specialty, also.  We share her with Sue Bertrand.

CONGRATULATIONS! to Mary Ingerson and AM.CH.TALLYWOOD DIVINATION - Majic just picked up back to back majors in Portland, and finished the next weekend at the Cow Palace benched shows!!  Litter brother AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD TRANSCENDENTAL was BOV two days in Portland, shown by owner Keri Campbell.  We are so proud of all of you!

NEW CHAMPION FOR 2006!  It's now AM.CAN.CH.TALLYWOOD FASHIONISTA!  Vogue shone over the weekend at the Puyallup KC shows - going BOW the first day for her third major, then BOV over specials the next to finish in style with four majors!  That night, as a move up, she was Best Of Variety at the Overlake Collie Club under Pat Jung, and the next day was BOV under Michael Esch.  We think she is one of the best we have bred.  Her litter brother Tazo was BOS to her at the specialty and the all breed for owner Kerri Campbell.
