Sorry we have been a bit quiet of late, winding down to Christmas time... We are expecting Scarlett's pups on Thursday if not before so we are very excited about this litter and hopefully one which will give us a little girl to start and continue that line from Sascha. We picked up Scarlett from Canberra last weekend and went to a show down there, Castro picked up Best of Breed, Scarlett has settled in perfectly at Clarissa Place. This weekend we just headed up to Castle Hill where Cas won Dog CC both days he is getting close to 250 points now and we have only had him since July! Bronte has been out and about with us practicing before her big debut in January but the way she is going she win be a pro by then...check out her new pictures taken today at Castle Hill at her page. News from Croatia that Ivan's bitch Kan Trace Atlantis [pictured below], daughter of our Greydove At Kan Trace has following in her mother's footsteps, she has been a multi BIS winner throughout the year and was announced CROATIA TOP DOG 2008, Congratulations Ivan. ![]() 23 November 2008 Both Nani & Charlie's litters went to their new homes this weekend... We took Bronte out for her first day out and she was a hit, but its a big day for such a little girl. We also introduce Greydove Brandy Coral, Barry & Glenda Stevenson's new baby from Charlie's litter, keeping it all in the family Barry & Glenda also own Coral's grandmother CH Greydove Goodtime Girl. We are looking forward to her show debut at Christmas. "Scarlett" Greydove Rhapsody in Blue AI was confirmed in whelp during the week to AM CH Valmar's Unanimous Decision so we are looking forward to this very special litter just before Christmas.

We have decided to let Monet go to a new forever home locally in Sydney as we would like to breed from her in the future. She doesn't like showing and we don't wish to push it. You can read about it at our current litters page. Contact Val if you are interested. 13 September 2008 Thanks to everyone who contacted us about 'Varma' the young Weimaraner we had up for re-homing.

Happy Fathers Day ! We headed up to Hillsborough for what was going to be a a weekend of shows, true to past experience the Hunter came down in buckets on Friday night ... Ghostwind Smokin Gun - Best of Breed and shortlisted for Group Tartufo Fabrizio - Best of Breed We were glad to leave early and headed back to our motel BUT at around midnight the sounds of what I thought were Kansas in a hurricane came through and we were most concerned how our 'camp' would survive....unfortunately it did not and nor did many other peoples....the wind had lifted most cabanas and there was debris everywhere...we lost our cabana and all our gear was soaking so we decided that was about enough and just went home. Good luck to those who decided to show in those conditions - sometimes I think the show just shouldn't go on.... |
