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.

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!.

At the Saskatoon shows, she won three Groups Firsts (thanks to F.M. MacDonald, Joe Gregory and Cec Ringstrom) and went on to Best under Mr. MacDonald! We are so proud - she is our fifth generation of BIS/BISS gals.
It's now CH.TALLYWOOD TEMPERANCE - Tizzy wowed the crowd at the huge AKC shows (the largest outdoor shows in Canada) by picking up two Group 4ths and a huge Group First to finish her championship! Special thanks to Richard Beauchamp for the group win - he also finished her dam the same way. The entire litter by Bowen ex Lola is now finished in Canada and starting on the US careers.
