Shaireab's Bayleigh Last Call to Penbryn

Frankie, a Tommy son, makes his debut in the show ring.

Opie-Derry Pups - 5 Weeks Old!

Moving 20 litters of PUPPIES!!!

The "doer" safely and securely strapped in for the ride from Knoxville, TN to Atlanta, GA. Inside the "doer" is frozen semen for a total of 20 litters of Welsh Terrier puppies!

We arrive at our primary reproduction vet office. The semen will be stored here. It will be easily accessible for our use or to ship to other breeders. Freezing semen allows breeders to place their male dogs in companion homes, yet utilize the genes in the breeding program for many years to come. (We have used semen frozen and stored for 30 years)

Anna, Dr Kestle's tech, transfers the frozen semen.

Dr Kestle and Tom take care of the necessary paperwork.

Tommy is BACK from summer vacation!!!

Tommy (GCH Bayleigh Shaireab's Pinball Wizard) and Tracy returned to the show ring at the highly competitive VA show circuit with a BANG! He won 3 Group I and 2 Group 2. We are especially excited for Tommy's new co owner, M Steuer

We have been BUSY!!!

Sharon and I have had a busy and fun late spring and early summer. I don't have enough hours in the day, days in the week, weeks in the month to keep our blogs up to date. Just a brief summary of what has been happening at Shaireabs -Bayleigh in the past few months. We have been able to attend most of the shows this spring...lots of driving ( with frustrating moments with the GPS), eating out, visiting friends and doing what we love...WATCH our 4 legged kids in the ring.

Our two girls, Darla (Shaireab's Bayleigh Just Watch Me) and Jenny (Shaireab's Bayleigh Maid of Honor) were Winners Bitch two of the days during the Louisville Cluster, which hosted the floating speciality for the Welsh Terrier Club of America. Jenny, with Sharon showing her, won Best in Sweeps. Contrary to the superintendents report, Tommy was not exhibited that weekend. He started his specials career several weeks later.

At the Garden State Terrier Club show in Trenton, NJ, Tommy won Best of Breed and Darla was Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite. Tommy finished his first weekend as a special by winning the competitive Terrier Group at the Trenton Dog Show.

Our next speciality show was the Great Lakes All Terrier Association in Illinois. Again Tommy won Best of Breed under esteemed breeder judge Mr Bruce Schwartz. Pola, Shaireab's Bayleigh Pola Embrujo De Brujas, our puppy bitch, who is co owned and bred by Ivan Sandoval, was Winners Bitch, Best of Winners, Best of Opposite and won the Terrier Puppy Group

Tommy, GCH Bayleigh Shaireab's Pinball Wizard, has won Best of Breed at the 3 Terrier Speciality shows (Garden State Terrier Show, Great Lakes All Terrier Association and Virginia Terrier Club) in which he has been shown this spring. He topped off his spring/summer tour by winning Best in Speciality Show at Virginia Terrier Club. Pola, Shaireab's Bayleigh Pola Embrujo De Brujas, finished her Championship this day, by winning Winners Bitch, Best of Winners, Best of Opposite and Best Puppy in Show.

We are taking a month or so off from the show ring. Family vacations and puppies coming...not to mention it is too hot!

Evaluating Derry - Stuart puppies at eight weeks old

The puppies have been examined by the cardiologist, orthopedist and general vet. All passed all exams with flying colors. Now Sharon, Tracy and I graded the litter on Thursday, March 24. We are very excited about the entire litter. Notice the natural tails...hopefully we will see these puppies at future Crufts show.

Wonderful Week! New puppies, seeing old friends and fun dog shows

As usual things have been busy at Shaireabs-Bayleigh Welsh Terriers. Helen had 5 puppies, 3 girls and 2 boys on Friday. Sharon and I have been in Louisville, KY at the Welsh Terrier Club of America floating speciality. Sharon and Jennie, Shaireab's Bayleigh Maid of Honor, were Best in Sweepstakes today. Jennie was also Best of Winners on Thursday for a 5 point major. We are very proud of our puppy girl. Not only did we have a successful weekend, Darla, Shaireab's Bayleigh Just Watch Me, was also winners bitch on Friday for a 5 point major, but it was nice to spend the weekend with our friends other parts of the country.

Josh is going to Europe!!!!

Watch for Josh to make a SPLASH when he arrives in Europe. GCH Shaireab's Celyn I Kid You Not will be taking a grand tour of Europe. Our friend and co breeder Mat Smeets of the Netherlands will be his tour guide.

The two Amigos at one of my favorite local spots on Hilton Head Island

Sharon and I enjoying lunch at Amigos. Lunch was good as I had remembered (from 10 years ago). Notice the wall in the background. Locals contribute old license plates for wall decorations. Somehow two of my old plates from 2000 made it to the wall. One says 4RDOG and the other is one of my son's plates when he was a student at Ole Miss. It has his initials DLB with the Ole Miss Rebel (which is too light to see in the photo)

Hilton Head Island Dog Show March 5 and 6

As I was turning into the dog show I shot a picture of the sign from in my car...not very good at planning ahead. I lived on Hilton Head for over 20 years, so this little dog show is always fun to attend. Beautiful location (I would encourage spectators and exhibitors to come to this show) great restaurants, incredible beaches, nice hotels, lots of golf courses, tennis, etc. We had a fun relaxing weekend!

BOB Westminster Kennel Club 2011

Sharon and I congratulation Rex, Ch Brightluck's Prancing Pirate JE, Deb and Ron Hunt (his owners) and Janet McBrien (his breeder) on going Best of Breed at Westminster Kennel Club.

He is the sire of our young bitch, Ch Bayleigh Shaireab's First Call, Eiley, who was reserve winners bitch at the National Speciality Show, Montgomery County Kennel Club. He also the sire of another rising star, Stella, from Shaireab's Bayleigh Welsh Terriers.

At long last we are having a break in the winter weather. Esther has been busy trying to catch a bird. Silly girl you are not a bird dog!

Best of Breed at National Speciality Show

For Sharon and I, Spyder's  (GCH Bayleigh Shaireab's Super Hero) win at  the Montgomery County Kennel Club, the National Speciality Show for the Welsh Terrier Club of America, is a dream come true!  Spyder is a multiple Best in Show winner, multiple Best in Speciality Show winner, top producer of top winning Welsh Terriers and most importantly the sire of healthy companions with delightful temperaments.  As breeders, this win has been a goal we have strived to attain.

A special thank you to Judge Nancy O"Neal,  breeder of the most successful Welsh Terrier( Ch Anasazi's Billy the Kid) in our club's history.  Billy won more than 100 BIS.  It is especially nice to be recognized by such an esteemed authority and breeder of Welsh Terriers.

Marilyn Jacobs of Foxbriar Kennels has made this incredible year for Spyder possible.  Thank you again Marilyn and Jorge!!

Spyder has accomplished all of the above at the young age of 3.

Montgomery County Kennel Club show on Oct 10, 2010 was the 110th anniversary of the Welsh Terrier Club of America.  It was an absolutely glorious fall day in PA.  The weather and show were spectacular.  Shaireabs - Bayleigh Welsh Terriers had a wonderful showing.  Spyder, GCH Bayleigh Shaireab's Super Hero was Best of Breed, Tommy, Ch Bayleigh Shaireab's Pinball Wizard, was Winners Dog.  Ch Bayleigh Shaireab's Play On, Player, was Reserve Winners Dog.

Hope to keep the website more current!

Carolyn, Keith and Sharon visiting Hearst Castle

We had a wonderful time at the GWTA shows and our visit to CA.  After the shows, we had a delicious dinner hosted by Jill and Peter See at their home.  We continued our drive up the CA coast...enjoying the scenery, the weather and a two delightful days at Hearst Castle and the quaint town of Solvang.  Notice the jackets Sharon and Carolyn are wearing.  When we left the east coast temperatures were in the mid 90"s, when we arrived in CA it was a bit too cool for us...at least for the clothes we brought.  The WTC of Southern CA was selling these nice pullovers embroidered with a Welsh Terrier.

Group Ring at GWTA

A very big thank you to the Welsh Terrier Club of Southern CA for their gracious hospitality.  The hospitality tent was a wonderful place for all Welsh Terrier lovers to gather.  The club provided a delicious lunch both days.  I would encourage every one to attend this beautiful show.  Almost every ring has a view of the water.
