Tam playing in the show .... Wheeeee!!
(Actually, there was a Rabbit skin drying-out on the clothes-line above her!)

Tammy was a WONDERFUL worker!
She'd happily retrieve ANYTHING ... from Geese to Ferrets to Car-keys!!

and ALWAYS the Show-Girl !

Sandy's first litter was sired by DENBY HAVELOCK CORNICHE
(ex Wongan Pebbler & A/NZ CH Wongan Free'n Easy).

"CASS"
Australian Champion
ABERLOUR CASIDHE - imp NZ

Multi In-Group & In-Show winner

including "Royal" CC, BOB & Reserve in Group !

When I brought Cass to Australia at 6 months old,
he was already half-way to completing his NZ Championship.
At two years old he was sent back to New Zealand,
hopefully to win the remaining points.

One month after arrival in NZ, he was tragically killed in a car accident.

Aust CH Aberlour Casidhe - imp NZ

Dedicated to my Cass.

The most loving over-grown puppy

I've EVER had the pleasure of owning .....

He always romped around the yard

And bounced about with glee.

His antics were at times absurd;

Life was happy and carefree.

To his family .... true devotion.

He stole the hearts of those he met.

His spirit chases puppies now;

Though he's gone, we'll not forget.

Our precious "CASS" only ever sired one litter.

Unfortunately the puppy I kept "Aberlour Dashn Dan" was not suitable for showing, but he sired a litter to our lovely "Fayme" (Aberlour Faymen Fortune), and this resulted in ....
