Plan to join us in 2023 for monthly meetings. You can find us on the the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7PM. We typically have an educational program. Guests are always welcome! No dogs, please!
Brehm Science Building, Room 142. November Program CancelledOur President, Vice President, and other board members have family obligations that have made it impossible for them to attend the November meeting. Also, with the Thanksgiving Holiday two days later the board feels it is in the club's best interest to cancel the November Board and regular meetings. The November meeting therefore is cancelled. Please check the website for more information on the Christmas Party/meeting that will be held in December.
CAER (formerly CERF) Clinic
The Ophthalmology Service at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine is offering a Companion Animal Eye Registry (CAER) clinic. Formerly known as CERF or Canine Eye Registry Foundation, the CAER provides breeders with information regarding inherited canine eye diseases that will help them make informed breeding decisions.
The CAER exams are performed by board-certified veterinary ophthalmologists and are intended to identify genetic eye disease. The CAER clinic will be held Thursday, November 30, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at the UT Veterinary Medical Center located at 2407 River Drive, Knoxville, Tennessee. A limited number of examination appointments are available. The cost is $55 per exam. To schedule an appointment call 865-974-8387.

AKC Terrier Group
Keith Bailey has been a member of the Welsh Terrier Club of America since 1999 and an AKC Breeder of Merit since 2010. Based in Knoxville, TN, Keith has had the honor of breeding and owning several successful show dogs including “Dazzle” – GCHG Brightluck Money Talks – the Best in Show winner at Montgomery County Kennel Club 2019. Additionally, seven of her dogs have won Best of Breed at WTCA National Specialties. She has exhibited 11 group winning dogs, eight of which she bred. She has owned eight Best in Show winning dogs, that have won more than 200 Bests in Shows. This number includes “Jennie” – GCHG Shaireab’s Bayleigh Maid of Honor – the top winning Welsh Terrier bitch of all time with 44 Best in Shows. Most recently, her Welsh Terriers have been #1 Terrier in 2017(GCH Shaireab’s Bayleigh Daenerys Stormborn), 2019 (GCHG Brightluck Money Talks), and 2020 (GCHG Brightluck Money Talks). Keith’s foundation stud “Spyder” – GCH Bayleigh Shaireab’s Super Hero – was not only the first Welsh Terrier to achieve the AKC Grand Championship (2010) but went on to sire GCHG Brightluck Money Talks and was the grandsire of GCH Shaireab’s Bayleigh Daenerys Stormborn.
Keith has bred 88 AKC Champions and 18 AKC Grand Champions. In addition, she has produced eight performance winners. Her dogs have also had international success. Currently, GCHS Brightluck’s Image At Bayleigh is the #1 dog All Breeds in Argentina. Keith is a sitting Board Member of the Welsh Terrier Club of America and is an active member in her local kennel club. She credits much of her success to her mentor and (past) co-breeder Sharon Abmeyer (Shaireab) and expert handling by Tracy Szaras and Luiz Abreu. The Bayleigh legacy continues with the addition of co-breeder Emily Carroll. This next step into the future sees the creation of the Bayleigh Carroway Welsh Terrier brand and a new crop of young stars in the making.
