With summer fast approaching, dogs shows are now being held later in the evening, much to everyone's enjoyment, especially the dogs. Our first night shows saw us at the Hills Kennel Club on the 12th and 13th, where Ranger went Best of Breed both days. Oona was awarded 2nd Junior bitch & Reserve Challenge Bitch at Saturdays show under Mr P Hickey (QLD), then was Challenge Bitch and Runner-Up Best of Breed on Sunday night under Mrs I Glynns (SA).

Updated email and photo's from Mel & Neil regarding Alice and Ramsey's relocation to the UK. Everything went well, they were well loved and taken good care of by those who met them along their long journey. They have both settled in very well, love their wood walks and playing with their sons Golden Retriever.

We have a special lady who will be staying with us. Oona (iiah's sister) has come over from Amedange Kennel to be campaigned in WA and also join our kennels breeding program. We are thrilled to have Oona stay with us, and thank her breeder, Vicki, for entrusting us with yet another of her precious girls.

At the CSAWA Champ AM Show under Mr M Winch (QLD), Ranger was awarded the DCC. No luck for Oona other than 2nd place in Junior Bitch class. At the PM Show, under Mrs C Currie (SA), Ranger was again awarded the DCC and also RUBOB. Oona, still being her 1st day out in the ring in WA, was awarded 1st Junior Bitch, BCC  and BOB. She handled herself beautifully and moves much like her sister. Bae came out and made an appearance for Australian Bred class but she would much rather the creature comforts of home and would rather let the young kids strut their stuff instead.
The last show for the weekend, was the FDC of WA, under Mr J Sullivan (VIC), Ranger was awarded the DCC and RUBOB and Oona was 2nd Junior Bitch.

The last show for October, saw us all attend the All Breed Dog Club Champ Show on the 30th. Under Mrs L Thomson (SA), Ranger was awarded DCC and BOB. Oona was awarded BCC and RUBOB.
