Krisma KBT
Hall of Champions
We are proud to be an AKC Platinum Breeder of Merit. That means we have reached a milestone few people in any breed are able to do. It is not easy with a breed that is considered rare in terms of number of registrations each year by AKC. Beyond just meeting the requirements to become a Breeder of Merit, the levels of achievement are Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. To reach Platinum level requires over 100 AKC Champions by a breeder.
Currently we have 121 Krisma bred Kerries that have earned their Championship, many of them are also Grand Champions, plus National and Regional Specialty winners, Best In show, Reserve Best in Show, Westminster winners, Futurity and Maturity winners, Sweepstakes, Best Juniors, and Challenge of Champion winners.
I am going to attempt to get as many as I can pictured in this gallery. It may take me awhile to get it done so keep checking back and if I miss anyone please let me know. I am going to start with the most recent and work backwards in time. This is only possible with great mentors and wonderful puppy owners who jumped in to show their Krisma Kerry or let us do it for them. Thank you to everyone that has had a part in our success, you are all very special to me!
Merit was awarded 5 BOB wins, including 2 KBT Specialty wins, plus a Terrier Group 1 and 3 in the past two weekends in the ring.
Lower Michigan KBTC in Monroe, MI on July 3, 2026 was a great success! Merit is awarded BOB, ManX his son RWD, daughter Roxy is WB and they both take a Best in Sweeps! Then a wind storm rolled in, cut all electric in the area and the next 2 days had to be cancelled.
