2010 is set to be an AWESOME year - see what we get up to....

 11th July 2010

2 weeks and 3200ks later we are back home.  Its was an all girl trip, with Chloe, Gypsy, Baliy Shine and myself (Rachel), and we had a ball!  Over the 2 week period we entered 8 shows and overall did quite well.  Shine took Multi Best of Breeds and a RUNNER UP IN GROUP (Under Terrier Specialist Tony Johnston WA)!!  At 15 months and in 10 shows Shine is now on 84 points!!!  Watch this space for the CH announcement.

Baily entered the ring and made her presence known - 5 Baby puppy in groups and a BABY PUPPY IN SHOW (under Staffy Specialist Colleen Roberts NSW)!!!!  Comments about her where lovely and all agreed she showed immence promise - lets hope they are right.

Gypsy began her Neuter Title challenge, and racked up a whoping 48 points - halfway there now, and we cant wait!

The STAR of the holiday as always was my daughter who showed like a trooper, displayed beautiful manners and made a positive lasting impression on many!  She was awarded the Kellanz Best and Fairest Award for 2010! 

WE ARE SO PROUD OF OUR LITTLE GIRL!!!

David and Russell have arrived with their troop of Scotty's and Bull Dogs and we are set to complete the circuit in Darwin.  DogsNT double header this weekend, The Darwin Royal next, and the Expo Shows the following weekend! 

Think we will need a holiday to get over this holiday!

4 Shows in Alice Springs, Lady headed back with our dear friend Dianne, to finish what was started there 5 years ago.

We have dog shows, birthdays and family visits also planned for May, and we know its going to be a great way to get back into showing and gear up for the July/August show circuit.

21st Feb

We have confirmed our new Staffy addition to the family!!!  This little girl is the WHOLE PACKAGE, both parents combine some of UK's finest lines with AU lines and  each are 2 of Australia's TOP winning  dogs! We look forward to working with her Breeders, and campaiging her throughout Australia!!

Due to arrive in late April - watch this space :)

6th Feb 2010

After what seemed like a lifetime of being out of the ring, we entered our first show for 2010.

Lady came back in and was awarded Bitch Challenge and Runner Up Best of Breed, and Rags strutted his stuff too.

After realising Lady has only a few points to gain her Aust Title, we have decided to give her the honour and will campaign her for the rest of the year.  Watch this space for her special announcement!
