Here are some of the dogs I have owned in the past.
Check out the drop down menu to learn more about each of them or their kennel mates.
Pictured here are some of my past and present dogs, together with my friends Sue and Mal's dear old Zigi (Oakridge Barocco), lying in the front right of the photo.

Snow-dogs!
My trip to the GSP National
The dogs that I took away with me to the 1998 GSP National - Zigi, Lucy, Danni, Spice, Jason and his puppy son Banner. Between them they won:
Runner-up to Best in Show, Veteran in Show, Australian Bred Dog class, Best Field/Retrieving QC Class, 2nd in Puppy Dog Class, 2nd in Open Bitch Class & 5th in Intermediate Bitch Class. Another bitch that I bred (Bridget) was also placed in the Intermediate Class.
On top of this, Jason won Dog CC at the Northern Classic All Breeds show held just prior to the National, and on the day preceeding this, came 3rd in All Age Retrieving at the GSP Club Retrieving Trial (all gundog breeds).
This photo was taken at the showgrounds at Guyra, the day before I got to (sunny, tropical?) Brisbane for the National. An amazing contrast in weather conditions. The dogs had a ball racing and slipping around in the snow, with thankfully no broken bones!
This was a real adventure - and a successful one at that! 2 weeks away from home with 6 dogs, travelling all on my own. It took 3 days to drive there!
