We are only
a small Kennel that focuses on quality rather than quantity. We
focus also on having top show dogs, which are also lovely companion
dogs, and are good family orientated, and thankfully we also have
NZ’s top show dogs.
Our family (Nigel, Robynne, Amylee and Ashleigh) live on a lifestyle
block in Timaru, Just recently moved here from Nelson. The dogs love
the country life, chasing the rabbits and generally having a good
time.
Nigel is licensed to judge at all breeds level, and I am licensed to
judge Gundogs at Championship Level. Our oldest daughter Amy-lee is
one of NZ’s top junior handlers, and won the NZ final in 2006 and
2008 to represent New Zealand at the prestigious Crufts Dog Show
which she gained 3rd overall in the world competition.
Ashleigh is our small bore rifle shooter, and represents NZ both as
a junior shooter and Ladies, had recently gained a gold and silver
medal in the Oceania games she is very passionate about her
shooting.
Myself (Robynne) love having the dogs around, weather it be in the
show ring, or relaxing at home.
In 2002 we were lucky to have Mathew (Aust and NZ Grand CH Ngaruru
Don’t Stop Me Now) come to live with us. A magnificent dog that has
stamped his mark both here in NZ and Australia both as a show dog,
also a top stud dog.
Mathew has done us proud in the show ring, obtaining over 16 all
breeds best in show wins both all breeds over 20 speciality best in
shows. It did not take us long to obtain his grand title, (something
which is very special to us, and NZ) We then purchased our
foundation bitch, NZ Wongan Capriccio (DJ) from Stephanie Rickard
(Wongan Kennels) she arrived as a beautiful 12 week old pup, she to
has done us proud in the show ring but has also been the start of
our kennels producing top puppies.
Also in our Kennels we have NZ Ch Arawhiti Rock DJ, (Claire/bear)
who is now
5 years old, she to have done us very proud both as a mum and in the
ring, presently has over 100cc's!
In 2007 we repeated the mating between DJ and Mathew (the results
were once again great!!) DJ produced 3 beautiful puppies, 2 of which
are currently very active in the show ring.
Aust CH Arawhiti Shoot n Star, who lives with the Stobies In
Victoria, and is beautifully handled by Chris Stobie in Australia,
and NZ Ch Arawhiti Mr Fahrenheit (Buzz) who lives with us, at only
16 months of age he has already gained 3 All Breeds Best In Shows,
and already following in his father's footsteps and has gained his
Grand Title. Buzz was top springer in both 2008 and 2009. A lovely
strong boy with the true springer movement!
Our family love the Springer’s both as family dogs and show dogs,
but would like to emphasis that they are our pets first, but
thankfully they are also top show dogs.
