Mrs. Carrie A. Chase

MRS. CARRIE A. CHASE of Martinsburg, West Virginia, started in purebred dogs in 1988, purchasing a Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy from Pat Jensen in California. Carrie’s first AKC Champion came from her first litter in 1990, and one of the resultant puppies sired a breed Top Ten stud dog. 

Mrs. Chase has bred 1-2 Champions per year since, with one Corgi, Ch Hum’nbird Keepn Up’Pearances, aka “Kevin” owned by Mr.  & Mrs. Samuel B Lawrence, holding the record as the top winning Pembroke Welsh Corgi in AKC history, with 77 Best in Show wins. “Kevin” won the Herding Group at the 2004 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and the 2003 PWCCA National Specialty.

As an AKC judge, Mrs. Chase is currently approved to judge the Herding Group and some Hound breeds. She has judged the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America National Specialty, the Australian Welsh Corgi National Specialty, most US regional Pembroke specialties, Specialty shows in other breeds, and multiple Herding breeds in Australia. This is her first judging assignment at Westminster.
