December 21, News from New Zealand - Cruz only needs 2 CC's to complete his title, we wish him and Raewyn happy hunting for those final 2, but perhaps he needs a bit of coat in the meantime :) No shows here over the weekend.

December 14 A busy week just gone. Teeny and I took off for Armidale to do 5 shows in 3 days! madness Armidale is an almost 16 hour drive for us, made longer by flood affected/damaged roads but it was lovely to catch up with Anneke, Pasta and Estelle again :) The reason for the travel apart from this was to try and finish Karolyn's title! Mission accomplished on the first day, so she is now CH Carluke This Is Me, Leo collected 2 nice Best of Breeds, Dixie 2 Bitch CC's and Estelle 1 CC. Sia the only Smooth Collie collected all 5 best of Breeds.

Fast forward to the weekend just gone Prim made her departure to the South Island of New Zealand where she has rejoined Angela. Arriving pretty close to 12 hours before her first show she managed 3/3 bitch Challenges, we wish her all the best for future shows .

DIxie - Carluke Fabulously Fancy 11 months 2nd Melbourne Royal show Puppy bitch
October 16 No shows for us here in Victoria, however we send hearty congratulations to Anneke @ Estelle on collecting some more points this weekend. Babies are growing well and I have added photos from the Melbourne Royal to Leo, Cally and Sia's webpage.
October 12, Starting with a sad announcement the decision was made to send Fab to the rainbow bridge, his arthritis finally got the better of his normally bright and active personality, he lefts us with tears and memories on October 03, 2022 a dog never to be experienced again. Thank you to Brian and Odile for sending us this lovely boy.
He continues to live on however, on the 7th of October we welcomed his Great, great grand children and then on the 10th of October more grand children so he echoes through the Kennels still hear at Carluke.
These puppies can now be seen on their webpages In the Nursery Leo & Harriet and Oliver & Dion. Quite a sombre time as for three of these it is the last of their breeding career but for Leo it is just beginning. Whilst creating these pages I accidently deleted the Lyam * Dion litter and can not seem relocate it. Sorry.
October 01, Melbourne Royal brings a close to September, the dogs as always did us proud 6 entered for 4 firsts, 1 2nd and a 3rd. Cally and Leo are now Crufts qualified :) . Congratulations to Kaye Reeves, Elizabeth Reegan and Claire Cashion with their Oliver children winning reserve dog and reserve bitch challenges. Also a round of applause to Terry and Aileen Jenkins for their Group 4 placing with Maverick - CH Mirriyuula Boomshakalaka. Lovely to catch up with so many people that have puppies from us or that have emailed about various Collie related information.
A couple of photos from puppies in their homes, I have some more when I find what I have done with them.
September 08 Four of the doggies and I thought we'd take a little trip to Adelaide for the Royal, it sure feels like a long time since the last one so we were all very excited (we were ready to park before the gates opened ) Three of them (all the Roughs) had never been to a Royal before and for 2 off them it was there first showing away from home, but they ALL performed like professionals especially at accepting the pats and love from the spectators!
The showing results were AMAZING Cally - CH Kirrieloch Oh Calamity (AI) BEST OF BREED @ 17 months, 'she has attitude' says the judge, 'to spare' says Kate Dixie- Carluke Fabulously Fancy PUPPY OF BREED @ 10 months, she has not been shown for 2 months and apart from being a part time show dog would make an excellent ring hoover! thanks for all the bait left on the ground. My very grateful thanks to Tania Adams for the much appreciated dog wrangling and handling skill . Sia - CH Foxbell X Factor RCC & Ru BEST OF BREED she only had puppies 4.5 months ago but is getting her show shoes back on track! The final member in the team our gorgeous Leo - CH Carluke Falling In Love fast loosing his puppy coat he had a class win and thought the run on the 'special floor' was great fun.

March 07, It was lovely to catch up with Anneke during her travelling holiday around Victoria and New South Wales, unfortunately due to loss of coat we didn't manage to take any photos of Estelle (Baxter * Iris) although we are happy that at her last shows of the holiday Estelle managed to collect her first lot of challenge points.
We send our thoughts and best wishes to all those in Australia currently struggling with flooded properties and to those in Ukraine suffering such unfathomable horrors.
February 28, Congratulations to Teeny and Dixie on wining their first Baby puppy in group on the weekend @ Central Gippsland KC. Also tasting success was Leo collecting 1 CC, 1 RCC and Prim 2 BCC 1 with BOB. Lovely to catch up with Anneke and Estelle on the travelling holiday. More shows to come yipee.

February 12, Just over a week ago Carl - Carluke Started Witha Kiss left us for New Zealand - being the busy boy that he is he also went to his first New Zealand shows where he replicated his Australian show debut by picking up 3 Baby puppy in Show awards at 2 Collie Club Champ shows and 1 Open show.

Back here in Australia - Scott - Carluke Love And Kisses went for his first away shows and won 3 contested baby puppy of breed awards and better still was not phased one bit by being away from home.

January 24, 2022 We have been to our first show for the year and what a show it turned out to be. Sia - CH Foxbell X Factor Best in Group. Carl - Carluke Started Witha Kiss BABY PUPPY IN SHOW
We also have our first Champion for the year, Congratulations to Wayne & Louise Shipman on titling Jade - Carluke Private Dancer just days after turning 12 months, her points have all been won since November 2021.
Our Christmas baby girls are really starting to kick along now and are such time wasters.
January 05, 2022 OK, so NO 2021 was not much different to 2020 Melbourne and Victoria have been through the longest lockdown - Covid-19 related than anywhere else in the world!
Dog shows have been an on again, off again affair - so we had puppies instead! Starting on this day 12 months ago we have meet many lovely Collie owners some new to the breed and others returning. We hope that everyone that has acquired a puppy from us over the last 12 months have enjoyed and felt enriched by their new companions. We have enjoyed receiving the updates about your puppy and where possible I have included many of the photos you have sent on the website. Whilst we do hope to have puppies during 2022 after our current litter we are hoping to have a little break and catch up on some sleep and household chores.
We made the most of the shows that were available to us, Saga - Carluke Danzliknoonewatchn completed her title, then landed on her feet in a lovely retirement home. Karolyn - Carluke This Is Me made a return to the showring following coat drop and is now half way to her title, hopefully this year once she recoats post puppies we will be able to finish it off. Sia - CH Foxbell X Factor has proven to be ever reliable and continued on her merry way culminating her career this year with BEST IN SHOW at the Collie Club of Victoria Championship show, under ex breeder/judge Mrs Lorraine Neilson (Ravelin) she also topped the DOL pointscore Breed Challenge for most CC points Collie Smooth over the last 12 months (which included a 4 month abandonment of shows in VIC) Bambi - Carluke Ohlala Jadore came out at the beginning of the year won her first points then played bridesmaid to kennel mate Prim - Ch Carluke Diamentes At Dusk who attended a whole 4 shows for 3 Best of Breed and 1 BCC with RuBOB at the CCV Championship show - all these shows were judged by ex breeder/judges. 2021 also saw the arrival of a new girl in the kennel, though with breeding that is steeped with our history Cally - Kirrieloch Oh Calamity (AI) arrived in May and this little charmer cast her coat early to play in her summer bikini but she loves the ring and it loves her so it seems, to date she is undefeated in her bitch classes and has her first CC points. The last new member to the team Leo - Carluke Falling In Love no baby shows for him ude to lockdown he went straight into Minor winning Mnior puppy in show at the Collie Club Open show, then backed it up with Reserve Challenge to his uncle (Callys borther) at the Championship show, the following day we also collected his first points.

We also have our first Champion for the year, Congratulations to Wayne & Louise Shipman on titling Jade - Carluke Private Dancer just days after turning 12 months, her points have all been won since November 2021.
Our Christmas baby girls are really starting to kick along now and are such time wasters.
January 05, 2022 OK, so NO 2021 was not much different to 2020 Melbourne and Victoria have been through the longest lockdown - Covid-19 related than anywhere else in the world!
Dog shows have been an on again, off again affair - so we had puppies instead! Starting on this day 12 months ago we have meet many lovely Collie owners some new to the breed and others returning. We hope that everyone that has acquired a puppy from us over the last 12 months have enjoyed and felt enriched by their new companions. We have enjoyed receiving the updates about your puppy and where possible I have included many of the photos you have sent on the website. Whilst we do hope to have puppies during 2022 after our current litter we are hoping to have a little break and catch up on some sleep and household chores.
