About Zoolander
Zoolander was from our 2017 Hoodie x Vogue litter and lives in Ohio with Gaby. He is a clown of a dog, with a big personality, who fulfilled his tremendous early promise and has gone on to be a top competitor in the Conformation and Performance rings and is making his mark on the breed as a stud dog. He is everything we were hoping for when we decided to breed Vogue to Hoodie - a beautifully proportioned, sound, typey dog that is a joy to live with.
Zoo made his debut in the show ring at 3 months, where he earned a Terrier Puppy Group 1 at his first AKC-Sanctioned B-Match. He quickly followed that up with a 4-6mos Beginner Puppy Terrier Group 1 in March 2018. In April 2018, Zoo earned back-to-back 4-6mos Beginner Puppy Terrier Group 1's and a 4-6most Beginner Puppy Best in Show!
Zoo started his "real" show career with a bang, going Best in Sweepstakes at the 2018 BTCA Eastern National Specialty. He followed that up with a 3-point major by going Winners Dog at another show over the Eastern National Specialty weekend. Being selectively shown, he was held out for the 2018 BTCA Grand National Specialty, where he was awarded Winners Dog for a 5-point major, and received a second 5-point major by going Winners Dog/Best of Winners at one of the Supported Entries over the Grand National Specialty Weekend. Zoo's breakout success brought him to 13 points with 3 majors after his first two weekends of showing with competition.
Zoo was brought out again in early October 2018 for the Montgomery County Kennel Club weekend (BTCA Supported Entry), where he was Winners Dog/Best of Winners at Montgomery for his third 5-point major to finish his AKC Championship!
Zoolander's specials career got off to a great start, when he won Best of Breed at the 2018 National Dog Show (televised on Thanksgiving Day). His next outing was to the week-long series of shows in Orlando, Florida, held in conjunction with the 2018 AKC National Championship. He was Best of Opposite Sex on Friday at the BTCA Southern National Specialty, and then Best of Breed in the AKC National All-Breed Puppy & Junior Stakes, going on to take the Terrier Group 1 under world renowned Terrier man himself, Mr. Peter Green! Not done there, Zoolander was Best of Breed on Sunday at the 2018 AKC National Championship, finishing his Grand Championship in two weekends with five 5-point major wins.
Zoolander has since had a decorated specials career, earning Best of Breed at the 2019 BTCA Eastern Specialty & Best of Breed 2019 BTCA Grand National Specialty. He then went on to Best of Breed at the 2019 AKC National Championship, earning that honor for the second year in a row. He became a multiple Terrier Group winner, and earned his first Reserve Best in Show in September 2020, just shy of his third birthday. His success continued into 2021, where he won multiple Best of Breeds during the 2021 BTCA Southern National Specialty weekend, and a Best of Breed during the BTCA Grand National Specialty weekend. In November 2021, Zoolander earned his second Reserve Best in Show and his first All-Breed Best in Show! He ended 2019, 2020, and 2021 as the #1 Bedlington Terrier in the United States.
Not just a pretty face, Zoolander has proven himself a tremendous competitor on the performance field, earning titles in Fast CAT, Coursing Ability Testing, Barn Hunt, Dock Diving, Scentwork, and the AKC's Farm Dog, Trick Dog, Canine Good Citizen and Temperament Test programs! Zoolander was the breed record holder for the longest jump in Dock Diving - at 16' 9" upon his retirement! He is also currently the All-Time #2 fastest FastCAT Bedlington Terrier. There is nothing we have tried with Zoolander that he has not excelled at! We are eager to continue allowing him to shine, as well as try some new events in 2024 and beyond - including Earthdog, Scentwork and Agility!

Zoolander's dam, Vogue (Reserve Best In Show & Multi Group Winning GCHG LAMZ Strike A Pose RN CAA RATI CGCA TKN), hardly needs an introduction. She had an incredibly decorated show career, winning 10 Terrier Group 1's, a Reserve Best in Show to the top winning male show dog of all time (the great Matisse, the Portuguese Water Dog), and she was Best of Breed at Montgomery, Westminster and the AKC National Championship. Vogue has been a superstar versatile performance dog, earning titles in Rally-O, Coursing Ability Testing, Barn Hunt, the Canine Good Citizen program and AKC's Trick Dog program. She has nearly earned her BCAT title in the AKC's Fast CAT program. Outside of the show ring, she is the most stable, wonderful companion with a temperament and heart of gold. Zoolander was born in Vogue's first litter.
Zoo's sire, Hoodie (2x BTCA National Specialty Winners Dog Ch LAMZ Snowbrook Men in Tights), had a short but illustrious show career, going Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best in Sweepstakes at the 2015 BTCA National Specialty, and following it up by going Winners Dog and Award of Merit at the 2016 BTCA National Specialty. He is the sire of our 2016 litter out of Rigby (NBISS GCHS LAMZ Eleanor Rigby CAA RATI RATN CGC), which produced Multi Group Placing GCh LAMZ A Dance with Dragons, Multi Group Placing GCh LAMZ A Song of Ice & Fire at Silverwood, and Ch LAMZ A Clash of Kings. We liked what Hoodie produced so well in that litter, that we returned to him in 2017 with Vogue to produce Zoo's litter.
