January 24 Our first shows for the year have been quite successful! The babies have all debuted each of the boys have had 1 show and behaved quite well no doubt they will show a little more finesse on there next showring adventures. Coco on the other hand has been to 3 shows for 3 Baby puppy of Breeds and 2 Baby puppy in groups - she is only 3 months and 1 week, she has been quite the professional (apart from when she wouldn't walk at her 1st show!) No more shows for the babies now until late February.

January 01, 2023
It has certainly been a huge year here at Carluke! A year full of events, puppies, highs and lows. It would be remiss to begin a recap without remembering the passing of 2 lovely dogs. Firstly our own CH Faberge Des Beldones @ 12.5 years and Patricia Neweys CH Carluke Luvn Themyst - Lunar @ 16.5 (daughter to Phoenix & Nova) There is also Susie and Andrew who lost Pepe and Blush within 5 months of each other. To all those that have also lost someone special, we see them every night that the stars shine above us and they still walk by our sides.
On the puppy front we have welcomed into the world during the year 3 lovely litters from Sia, Harriet and Dion. From Sia we are lucky that many of the babies went to special friends so we hear about them very often. Harriets are only just leaving to special homes far and wide with Henri staying here, Dion's boy is about to set sail for distant lands and Coco will remain at home.
Our 2021/2022 puppies have gone on to glory & disappointment that we could not have imagined :-
Estelle - Carluke Love A Poser (Mrs Anneke Van Mosseveld) needs one CC to complete her title
Jade - CH Carluke Private Dancer (Wayne & Louise Shipman) completed her title at just over 12 months (Jan 2022) of age and still picks up BOB's when shown
Leo - CH Carluke Falling In Love (Carluke) completed his title at just under 12 months (May 2022) and has gone on to some wonderful wins and is also the sire of our lovely Harriet boys (October 2022)
Cruz - Carluke Started With A Kiss (Raewyn Mullans NZ) left Australia after winning Baby in Show at his first show, to continue on the other side in New Zealand, then bad weather interrupted his outings but he now only needs 2 CC's to complete his NZ title
Scott - Carluke Love And Kisses (Carluke) has not been out a lot, he needed to do some growing up, he does however have CC points and we hope he will be out during the year.
Dixie - Carluke Fabulosly Fancy (Teeny Talsma) has debuted with CC points and Class in group/show wins at All breeds and specialty shows.
Sassy - Carluke Fabulous Me (Bronwen Cramond) has also debuted with challenge points.
Matilda Joy - Carluke Frozen In Time (AI) (Henriette Pahl) set sail for Denmark in May and at her final shows for the year won her first Junior Challenge and has also been graded Excellent under breed specialists
Feliz - Carluke Hands Offmy Tiara (AI) (Carluke) won her first baby puppy class, then the unthinkable happened, she fractured her Tibia and has spent the rest of the year laying around at home (literally!) we have our fingers crossed that she may come out during 2023.
Cara - Carluke The Naked Truth (Carluke/Jackie Garvin) shown by us during her babyhood where she won all her classes, Cara has now gone to live with Jackie and her family, they have just started in the ring together and as they both gain experience we are looking to fun times ahead for them.
and of course there is
Cally - CH Kirrieloch Oh Calamity (AI) (Carluke) A spur of the moment decision to add her to the family when an International home turned her down, what an asset she has been. Spending most of the 2022 year in her knickers she titled just into the Junior class and then added a Royal Best of Breed along with recognition from Breed specialists.
Older Collies in the ring,
Karolyn - CH Carluke This Is Me collected her final points after a lockdown/maternal duties interrupted show career, she will now retire.
Sia - CH Foxbell X Factor started the year with a bang, winning her first Best in Group (Group 1st) then retired to have a lovely litter of puppies, only returning to the ring in late August, she is now on the downhill stretch to her 'Grand' having collected some lovely wins in the back end of the year.
Prim - Aust & NZ CH Carluke Diamentes At Dusk (exp NZ) departed for New Zealand, returning to Angela Sime, she titled in 4 weekend of shows finishing No 4 in the NZ DOL Best of Breed Collie Rough pointscore
which leads us on the to the Australia DOL pointscore,
Number 1 Rising star Collie Rough Victoria (number 3 Nationally) CH Carluke Falling In Love (having only 8 months of the year in the competition) he was also Number 1 Breed Challenge Collie Rough Victoria (number 6 Nationally) quite impressive for a puppy/junior he is also the only Collie to qualify for the Dog/Puppy of the Year (Victoria) with an award not won at a Breed show.
Number 2 Breed Challenge Collie Rough Victoria (number 11 Nationally) CH Kirrieloch Oh Calamity (AI). Cally did not take part in the Rising Star Competition.
Cally and Leo have been shown in direct competition with each other, often taking both CC's when shown this year.
other pointscore notables:-
Rising star Collie Rough (Victoria)
Number 3 Carluke Fabulously Fancy (number 11 Nationally)
Number 5 Carluke Started With A Kiss

(pointscore results are voluntary and the results probably only mean anything to me! and that's OK )
The boys have also produced well for others:-
Oliver - Grand CH Carluke Au Contraire adds to his titled offspring list with CH's Elfreya Riley (Adelphi), Elfreya Riley Pathfinder (Scout) & Elfreya Vulcans Elf (Ember) making 4 Champions from a union that produced 5 puppies, Congratulations to Elizabeth, Claire and family.
Ross - Carluke Love Struck (AI) can add CH Izkaze Knockabout Love (Blacque) who finished at one of the last shows of the year. Congratulations Kaye
Bond - Carluke Top Secret (Exp Slovenia) continues to produce well and his Children are spreading all over Europe, we wish them all the best of luck.
If I have missed anything, I apologize profusely. 2022 saw the prefix Carluke being registered for 50 years with Dogs Victoria/KCC/ANKC. It has been a tough year but there is hopefully light on the horizon.
