"The Bowery" is the name we call our hobby farm; chosen when Tom and Cheryl first moved to Egan Creek near Bancroft, Ontario, Canada. Our first son, Blake, was born here in June, 1980 and is now prominently featured playing with Ch Bowery Ginger and Ch Meynell Crippin on our Home page.
Wanting to breed great Bull Terriers, we purchased a little foundation puppy bitch from a small but hi-quality local kennel. We named her 'Maisie' because Cheryl thought the name sounded tough. Her breeders knew she would be a show dog but let us know right away that Bull Terriers never seem to win much in the Terrier Group. Let's wait and see... …
Am. Can. Ch. Abraxes Armonit ROM is shown
professionally by Bob Whitney to win Canada’s
Top Terrier- All Breeds for only the second time
in history by any Bull Terrier (No Bull Terrier
has ever reached the status of Top Terrier since
the repeat by Maisie and Arthur). Cheryl again
tours across Canada, this time with Arthur and
both ‘Maisie’ and ‘Arthur’ end up in Loblaw’s
Hall of Fame. The Bowery is now synonymous with
great Bullies.
Can & Am Ch Bowery Boy of Singlee is campaigned, with Bob Whitney again doing the handling, and our ‘Punky' ends the year as Canada’s Top Pug. Bowery Bull Terriers are winning more blue ribbons and trophies than we can count.
Bowery Bull Terriers are highly sought after for their show winning conformation but more importantly; their friendly temperaments. The best white Bull Terrier the world has ever seen is born right here at the Bowery and we name him ‘Soupy’ (shown here).
Cheryl sets out to prove them all wrong and
starts to line breed to establish a distinct and
recognizable type of Bowery Russell Terriers.
Once again, sound friendly temperaments as well
as the original Parson Russell Type are high on
her list of breed qualities.
Our outstanding Home-Bred dog, Bowery Bart, wins Best Puppy in Show at Denton, Tx , Philadelphia, Pa, and Mason-Dixon, Md . He looks like he will be un-stop-able and the JRTCC change their rules to eliminate Bowery Bart (because he has an American father) from Canadian Bred Competition.
Instead of Best Canadian Bred, Bowery Bart is
awarded the more prestigious Best Bred by
Exhibitor at the Canadian Nationals under
English judge, Greg Mousley and then heads south
to win Best Terrier at the Georgia State Trial
under Teri Batzer. Bowery Brass is Best 4-6 Mons
Puppy at the Southeast Regionals in Florida.
Bowery Peppermint Patty (shown here) then goes
right to the top and wins Best in Show at the
Skydome in Toronto. Meanwhile, Bowery Buck
becomes the JRTCC’s most sought after Stud Dog.
Our American import 'Axel' (pictured with Cheryl and Blake) is awarded Best Puppy in Show at the '98 CJRTA Nationals . Our English import, Meynell Crippin, is Best Smooth Dog at the JRTAA Nationals in Maryland. Bowery Bud goes Best Terrier in Northern California.
The Parson Russell Terrier is recognised as a
pure breed all over the world and finally here,
in North America, the JRTAA achieves breed
recognition within the AKC. Waiting for AKC
championship shows to open for the Russells,
Cheryl decides to enter Breed Specialities only
and what a year! She won almost every event she
attended and at several specialties she swept
all the Conformation ribbons and trophies. She
was more than competitive in every class and her
American friends are ready to send her packing-
but wait 'til next year...…
Cheryl has now placed several top quality
Russells in show homes across North America and
around the world. There are 4 Bowery dogs in the
US Top Twenty - more than any other breeder. On
the West Coast, watch out for Connie's Bravo,
Joyce's Money Penny, and Suzee's Frito Bandito.
Here in the East, you might see, Margaret's
Ozzie, Lee's Show Me or Marcie's Beanie Baby.
You never know but Cheryl might even show up
with Bahama Mama, Zulu Warrior or even
Blueprint. Her list of Russell Champion Show Dogs continues to grow and from a great start last year, will be 15 or more by this year's end. (See Our Dogs/Champions)
Another year is here again and Cheryl is
showing no signs of slowing down. This is
Am Ch Bowery Special Edition and she is typical
of the Bowery "Parson" type we are producing.
Bowery breeding is doing extremely well at
Terrier Shows across the Continent and we are
very proud of Cheryl's accomplishments. In the
month of June alone, "FIVE" new Bowery Bred dogs
were awarded their American Championships. We are now home to more than 20 AKC Champions and 3 of this year's Top 25 invited to the Eukanuba National Championship Show in December. We still have allot to do to ... so stay in touch.
Well 2002 is in the books and although it was a
very trying year for the Edwards family on a
personal level, we all made it through. Cheryl's
breeding has done exceedingly well all over the
world (Bowery Bowhunter in Columbia is pictured
here) and we feel that if everyone continues to
breed and show their best dogs, the Parson
Russell Terrier is destined for greatness. The
Canadian Kennel Club has added the Parson
Russell Terrier to their List of Breeds to be
Recognised this year. North America already
produces some of the very best PRT's in the
world and we see the breed improving every
single day.
This is going to be an exciting year as the
Canadian Kennel Club has finally voted to move
the Parson Russell Terrier from the
Miscellaneous List into full recognition within
the Canadian Terrier Group. Our Stud Dogs are still producing Champion after Champion but Zulu is enjoying sunny Mexico after setting records down there as a American and now a Mexican Champion while Cheryl is bringing along her young prospects and is 'chomping at the bit' to get back in the show ring again.
Bowery dogs will always be at a show near you and you will recognise them easily because their tails will be wagging as they love to perform for their owners. The lovely female pictured here is the 2003 Canadian National Best in Specialty Show winner, Ch Bowery Cirque du Soleil, relaxing in the garden of her proud owner Claude Paquette (Montreal).
The Pedigree Dog Food Company just published
their TOP TEN All Time Top Producers list (in
the USA) for each breed and THREE (yes 3!) of
Cheryl's Canadian Parson's made the list! No
wonder she now has more than 40 AKC Champion
Parsons to her credit.Cheryl herself is now semi-retired but is breeding and showing very selectively, along with other breeding friends, across the continent. She is usually dividing her time between Ontario, Canada and Jalisco, Mexico (depending mostly on the weather).
At the better competitions, there will often be Bowery Blood in the winner's circle so come on out and see what a Top Breeder and a few Top Producers can accomplish.
In the Top 15, six of the TOP DOGS were from BOWERY BITCHES, including, once again the Number 1 Dog in the USA
The 2007 year end statistics have been announced and once again BOWERY Bitches are dominating the Parson Breed Production.
In the TOP DOGS IN THE USA 6 out of the Top 15 were produced by BOWERY bitches including , once again the #1 Dog in the country.
