Miss Mia

The delightful and cheeky Miss Mia (Belgenbeau ON My Mind (iid)) has come to stay with us for awhile. Mia was bred by Us* and is owned and loved by Caroline and Andrew from Delaroche Belgian Shepherds in South Australia. We are very excited to have Miss Mia back with us for a short while and have a few plans for her during her stay - so watch this space.

They're Back !!

Our lovely Avion Boy 'Ronin' has come back to us.  Ronin was being campaigned in SA, however due to a change in situation we now have him back with us and what stunning boy he is.  Ronin is owed by Us and Michelle Holthouse who lives in SA and will be campaigned by Justin in both the NT and QLD for the foreseeable future.

 

We are so happy to finally have our beautiful boy 'Amper' back home where he belongs. His 'working holiday' down in NSW was very successful and it was great to watch him achieve so much in such a short time.  However, we really did miss our boy and it is wonderful to have him home  - (we are sure he is glad to be home too). Big thanks must go to Tanyia and Ashley for looking after Amper while in NSW.  Amper will be hitting the show scene in Brisbane soon and is also consider adding another title to his ever expanding repertoire - Watch this space for more details to come.

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).

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 !
