As 2012 rapidly rolls along, I would like to recap our many accomplishments thus far. The combination of excessive heat and draught have not deterred our enthusiasm for Westie activities.

CH Czarcrest's Blue Moon ("Blue") has become a qualifier for the Performance Registry of Merit (PROM) thanks to the hard work of Susan Chapman and others. PROM is a special award designed by the West Highland White Terrier Club of America. For a dog to earn this award, he must be the sire of 4 offspring with Versatile Dog Awards and an additional 6 offspring with performance titles. Blue is the first Czarcrest Westie to achieve this recognition. Congratulations to Blue and Susan for this outstanding effort.

We have our first Champion of 2012. CH Czarcrest's Knight Ryder ("Ryder") marks himself as our 49th Champion. Also in the conformation ring this summer is Czarcrest's Double With A Twist ("Tristan"). Watch for Tristan as he begins his show career in the capable hands of Courtney Kniola.
