Whilst still in Brisbane we attended 2 more Championship Shows at Durack and 1 Open Show. We had a great time - making it a family event with my sister coming down to the show grounds to help show the dogs. On Christine's first show (Open Show) - she showed Scarlet for Bitch CC and RUBOB and Tux for Intermediate in Group - Good Job Chris we will employ you again when we next come to Brissy !!! Louie also did very well at the Open Show taking out BOB and Runner Up in Group. Louie took out BOB and Junior in Group on the Saturday Championship show. Tux took out RUBOB and Dog CC on Saturday and BOB on Sunday. Our naughty little terrier also took out Baby in Group at both Championship Shows - what a fantastic weekend we had and everyone was really friendly !!!

We attended the Belgian Shepherd Dog Club of Queensland Specialty Show and 2 other Championship shows held over the long weekend in Brisbane. We had a fantastic time and made some new friends too !! Our results for the Specialty include both Amper and Louie being graded 'Excellent', Tux and Norah graded 'very good'. The Championship show on Sunday (under International Judge) saw 2 of our 'Avion' Puppies take out BOB & RUBOB (dog and bitch CC). Monday's Show saw Amper take out BOB also. Our baby Cairn Terrier (Joymont Stepping Out) took out Baby in Group both days at the CH Show. An excellent result for a really fun weekend.

12th March 2008 - Latest Show Results
Although our trip to Adelaide was a little disappointing in the way that ALL our 'kids' entered, thought that now would be a good time to blow all their coat. We still had an enjoyable time (albeit showing 'naked' dogs J). The weather was Very HOT (even for us coming from Alice Springs!) and we chose to scratch a few of our dogs rather than risk heat stress. The ones that did show - coped remarkably well, probably something to do with staying inside their air-conditioned trailer until they had to go in the ring !!! We also got to finally meet Caroline Russell from Delaroche Belgian Shepherds ~ and share a glass of wine (or two J).

His star is certainly on the rise!!!)

Lucky finds a new home !! In line with our belief and breeding
philosophy of "Breeders should not breed if they are not prepared
to 'rescue' '', we
have been successful in placing our sweet girl 'Lucky' that we rescued
on a trip last year to Darwin (not bred by us). After some TLC (numerous flea
and tick baths) and escaping the humidity of Darwin, Lucky developed a 'new lease
on life' and has since gone to live with our friends Ian and Karen
O'Malley in Western Australia. Lucky is now living the life of a
very pampered pooch !
