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.
