November 26 Some photo's of Carluke Collies in their new homes. Thank you everyone for keeping us up to date with their babies progress.
November 20 A fortnight ago we welcomed young Paris from Sydney, Paris was one of Chanel's last 2 puppies that Freya raised in 2014 we reluctantly let her go, but did so because it was to a loving home, and so it was. However when the opportunity came up for us to have her back needless to say we did not need asking twice! Paris attended her first show on Saturday the 19th of November and came home with Bitch CC, Best of Breed, Rup in Group (Group 2nd) and Australian Bred in group. Iris also came along and collected reserve CC and Ru Best of Breed, our first shows in 6 weeks and we were more than pleased with the girls.
November 5 Please note that due to family illness and the impending legislative bill change in Victoria we have no immediate plans for puppies, we thank you for your enquiries and ask that if you want freedom of choice you please visit the website www.purebreddogs.org.au to see what YOU can do about securing your future family companion.
October 4 Our last shows for a while more points were added to the lovely young Blue puppies, Lyam and Butterfly are now starting to blow there coats, I am hoping that they keep a little in reserve for a couple of shows later in the year...but what will be will be! Oliver also made a rare appearance to collect Best of Breed and go onto Best Open in group.

September 22 - Who knew time could pass so quickly. We have been to Adelaide and back and finished with Melbourne royal as well, our results were lovely. At Adelaide young Butterfly spread her wings to claim Puppy of Breed and reserve bitch challenge @ 12 months of age, Oliver went 2nd in Open dog, Lilly claimed 2nd in Aust Bred bitch. For Melbourne the young Blue team of Lyam and Butterfly both won their Junior classes (qualifying them for Crufts 2017) and Oliver had to settle for 4th in the Open dog class.
Not only have the Royals been and won but our babies will all be in their new homes by the end of the weekend, they have been such happy fuss free babies it is sad to let them go, but we know they are each going to be well loved and love well in return.

August 24 - Just a couple of the current babies at play.
