(Journal Opinion) ORFORD - The world’s most outstanding dogs will gather Jan. 14-15 in Tampa, FL to exhibit the qualities that earned them a spot at the invitation-only AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. Jay Atwood of Orford and CH Penaire Star Struck [At Woodcrest], better known as “Striker,” will be among the 2,648 contenders.

Atwood is the owner of Woodcrest Kennel LLC of Orford. Striker is an American and Canadian champion Airedale and Best in Show award winner.

The show will be simulcast live on Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel, starting at 8 p.m. both nights.

These top dogs will be competing for $225,000 in cash prizes and the coveted title of National Champion. The AKC/Eukanuba National Championship offers the only sizable monetary award in dog shows and represents the pinnacle of canine achievement. Invitations are issued to dogs ranking in the top 25 of their breed based on year-long competition in other AKC events.

Further information about Striker including photos and a complete list of wins and accomplishments can be found at www.woodcrestkennel.com.

Service Testimonials

"It's almost like leaving your dog at home - even better! Jay's very sensitive from the moment we bring a dog in. He knows what is needed intuitively, whether it is an old dog or a puppy. You can't get this kind of magic touch just anywhere. Jay is a breeder and he shows dogs. He has a whole network of resources to share. His price is reasonable and Woodcrest is the best kennel anyplace ever." -Charles Johnson, M.D.

Puppy Testimonials

"Ziggy went to the vet yesterday. He was so good and is quite healthy. Thank you for giving him such a good start in life! Did I mention everyone thinks he is so handsome?!

He is very laid back and not anxious which is such a pleasant personality trait. He is so playful and funny. He makes us laugh. We also cry when his teeth get us!

It is amazing how quickly he learns - and he seems to be growing by the hour! We love him. Thank you."

Recent Media Coverage

Magazine Articles

We were very pleased to have been interviewed for two separate magazine articles earlier this year, both of which will be published later this fall.

The first article, written by Katherine Britton, is for Here In Hanover which is a local magazine in our region. The article will focus on profiles of four area breeders. This is the article for which the magazine shoot with Tory and the puppies was held a few weeks ago. The article should be published in the September issue of the quarterly publication.
