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.
But it is not just our Collies that have tasted success :- in NSW Jade - Carluke Private Dancer is just a CC away from her title - she is 12 months old today, we thank Wayne & Louise Shipman for their care and dedication to Jade, Estelle - Carluke Lovea Poser enjoyed her time in the ring and is due to return February 2022 with Anneke van Mosseveld. Here in Victoria Elton - Carluke Calling Itthe Blues has had fun and tasted success with his mum Katrina Staniland. New babies to hopefully make their debuts this year in Victoria from Karolyns and Harriets litters .
