'Cass' was imported from Pam McCready of Tukeglen Pointers before Pam and family moved to QLD, Australia, just a couple of hours from us here. From him we have had 2 sons and 1 daughter (from different litters)as the basis to our bloodlines here.
'Magic' was the first showdog I owned, and the first son of Cass. He was, and always will be, my number one favourite showdog, with whom I shared so many precious moments of triumph and loss. Magic sired one litter for me, and I kept my pick girl, 'Candi', to continue showing with. Magic was a gentleman and a true ambassador of the breed.
'Tushi' was a second son of Cass, and half-brother to Magic, and was campaigned with Magic's daughter Candi. A beautiful solid dog with so few faults, he was just a pleasure to show. 3 Royal Best of Breeds and the first BIS winner for his breeder, Garry Cox. Tushi sired Tzar and Missy out of Candi.
'Candi' (left) and 'Bella'(right) were Magic's 2 girls from AU CH Kendoss Xtra Sparkle, my first kees bitch. Bella was owned/exhibited by Jody Gibson. Candi was titled at 13 mths and Bella at 14 mths against each other. Candi produced 2 litters.
'Tzar' (left) and 'Missy' (right) were from Tushi and Candi. Tzar is pictured winning RUBIG at the Toowoomba Royal and was also a PAL Superdog. Missy and Tzar never produced a litter.
'Lilly' is the 3rd puppy from Cass we used in our program. Her dam was Kendoss Hot Gossip. A pretty girl, she was shown to 1/2 her title, but as she was the same age as Candi and Bella, when she became a junior they were in the same classes, and so never finished her title. She has produced some very beautiful puppies, and is now retired.
'Smokey' was never a showdog, which really is a shame. Cherished family pet of Mal and Barb Stower, he was bred to Lilly. They produced Fury and Koki (Fyreburst Electric Bear). Smokey's sire competed very well in the show and obedience rings, with both his Show Championship and a Companion Dog Excellent (CH & CDX). Fury is still exhibited and Koki is doing obedience.

'Fury' is from Smokey and Lilly. Sold as a showdog to another breeder, he was severly mistreated and his previous owners prosecuted by the RSPCA. At 11 months he was thin, had been shorn by scissors leaving holes with a diameter of up to 8cm and part of his skin from his hindquarters torn off. Lots of TLC and he is back in the showring with a BIG and Inter in Show. He sired Remi from Candi.
'Remi' is from Fury and Candi. A lovely dog, he was adopted by Abbi and Andrew Stove as a show prospect. However, showing was not their 'cuppa tea', and he now lives with them as their mobile teddy bear, enjoying undivided and adoring attention. He is a very spoilt dog, :).
'Bryce' was initially bred to Missy, but as no puppies ever came of the mating, he decided to visit us for a couple of years. Missy never came back in season, but Bryce did sire 2 other litters for me, one with Lilly and we kept Jazmin, and one with Staysee, and we kept Arjan. A multi BIS and RUBIS winner, he will always be remembered fondly here. See his sire here.
'Jazmin' is a gorgeous bitch with a lovely nature and a cheeky sense of humour. From Lilly's last litter, she is being bred to Arjan. She is halfway through her show title, taking classes in group and beating other champion bitches.
'Staysee' is a sweet little girl who came on lease for a year from Trevor Rogers's Keez Kennels. We did try to show her, but she really much preferred being a housepet. Bred to Bryce she gave us a healthy litter and was the ultimate mum.
'Arjan' was to have been my superdog, and so he is, but not for me. Originally leased to Simon and Sue Coles from Nth Qld, he became more than their best showdog. He is their best friend. Multi BIS, RUBIS, and well on his way to being a Grand Champion. Nominated for Queensland Dog of the Year in 2003 at only 3 years of age, he has a brilliant show career, as a mature dog, ahead of him.
'Caesar' was originally purchased as a show dog by Tamara Graham.The arrival of her family made showing hard and Caesar came to live with me. He spent about a year with us, before accompanying Bella to live with Flo Smithson in Nth QLD. When Flo's husband Bob became ill, he was sent back to me. He then went to live with Mat and Tanya Brady. 2 days later he was off to Jon Lambert's family where he finally has a home.
