Breilla Pointers & American Cockers

05/03/2024

Aside from the fact that Saffy is screaming for the one on one attention that we can’t give her when we have five dogs, it turns out that Alex is also allergic to her and breaks out in a rash up his arms every time he pats her 😞

Saffy needs a new home. Ideally where she will be an only dog as she is very demanding of attention from dogs and humans and other dogs may not be fond of her excessive and boundless expression of love. She is 9 months old and is incredibly smart, energetic, loving, and would thrive as a sport dog for retireving, obedience, agility etc.

She is not desexed yet, but will be desexed before leaving.

*Saffy is *not* a giveaway. She is only available to the right home.

Serious inquiries only. Price on enquiry.

Located Adelaide but can organise transport Australia wide (I am also driving to Sydney in a few weeks.)

Look how adorable we are! 😍

Rumi and Kyrgios had homes waiting for them that fell through and now they are still with me. They are currently travelling long distances in the car (perfect from Adelaide to Melbourne 🎉), being trained, and becoming wonderful little companions 🥰. Absolute superstars at nearly 4 months old ⭐️❤️⭐️

But I can’t keep them all and will be very sad (but happy) when they find their forever families.

Two American Cocker Spaniel specialty shows today. It’s tough handing off two of the girls to other people knowing they handle well for me but not so great for others (thank you and sorry Margaret East and Tanya Smith. I hugely appreciate you both coaxing babies around the ring for me.)

First show we placed 2nd, 3rd, and 4th with lovely and fair critiques on all babies.

Second show we placed 1st, 2nd and 4th which means Volley was also Baby Puppy in Show.

Volley is a bit of a show pony so took being indoors in her stride. She’s so much like her dad when it comes to loving the show ring ❤️

Then we have Cheddar. He may have been the only neuter but both judges gave him the most beautiful critiques and the second judge even asked why he was neutered and he hopes I have something nice from him because he’s just lovely.

I couldn’t ask for anything more 💕

Thank you American Cocker Spaniel Club of Vic for a great show. 🙂

Kiki, BREILLA DNT GO BREAKN MY HEART.

I took the time to write out her five generation pedigree. Going back just the next generation or two are even more fabulous names and lines. She’s a blend of working Pointers, beautifully line bred US lines, and line bred from my own foundation stock 26 years ago that goes back further to the greats of the breed in the UK.

Long planned, everything I wanted. ❤️

And the waiting begins…

Ima, Ch Pivotal Visionary At Sgurr, has had her visit to the vet for an AI, so fingers crossed for puppies in approximately 9 weeks.

While she was at the vet, we used the time to have a little bit of hip and elbow scoring done. It is NOT recommended to score girls in season as they often score higher, but we went ahead anyway. Absolutely thrilled with the scores that came back even with her in full season. Go Ima ❤️⭐️❤️

Expressions of interest welcome. Solids, parti-colour, black and orange expected.

Pupdate!!!

Kiki, BREILLA DNT GO BREAKN MY HEART, had her first day up with the big kids and picked up an 8pt BEST OF BREED, and MINOR PUPPY IN GROUP, with some lovely comments from judge Janet McGregor Tomic.

But it didn’t stop there…

Penfold, BREILLA PLAYING TO WIN, won BABY PUPPY IN SHOW on his second weekend of showing!!! This is my first in-show win with a home bred American Cocker so I’m absolutely thrilled about this little milestone. Thank you to judges Janet McGregor Tomic and Dennis McGreevy for awarding this boy.

No formal photos today in the rain, but enjoy the cute ones. Photos of Kiki and Jatz from last weekend when it was sunny.

I did this with the Pointers, and now it's time for the American Cockers to have a go

Congratulations to our friend Colleen at Arista Pointers who welcomed these beautiful babies a couple of days ago!

How gorgeous are they??!!! Loving all the Pointer babies in Queensland at the moment ❤️💕

6 1/2 weeks old and they saw the scrub turkey for the first time today. What did they do?

They POINTED (because they're Pointers 😁❤).

Here they are with a few extra photos before the rain hit.

It seems these puppies had other ideas and I’m getting exactly what I asked for…

Kiki will now be staying and Bridie will be heading off to a beautiful home with a loving family.

I love Bridie and I had started to bond with her, she’s a truly beautiful girl. Unfortunately from day one there was one little thing that I was concerned about and as much as I’ve been working on it, it hasn’t improved. If anything as we approach the deadline for heading off to new homes, it is becoming more noticeable. Even though Bridie has all the beautiful angles, and prosternum, she’s narrow in front and east-west footed. Her feet were a little flat and we’ve had her walking on uneven surfaces and digging in a sandpit (she loves it) and have given her supplements, and her feet have improved but still turn out. I had to bite the bullet and make the decision.

Thank you to the many breeders who helped me over (long) videos calls with this one. All your thoughts, input, ideas and feedback are invaluable. Biggest thank you has to go to the Hornsby family who bought Kiki, and instead are now taking on Bridie (to be renamed Mabel). Fortunately they always liked Bridie, and I always said I wanted a black and white, so maybe this is how it was meant to happen.

And with that, please welcome Kiki!

She will either be ‘Breilla Thbtch Is Back’ or ‘Breilla Dnt Go Brakn My Heart’ - which name do you prefer?

Introducing the Elton John Pointer litter at five and a half weeks old. Flick through the photos and captions to find out who will be staying as my keeper ❤

Thank you to all the wonderful Pointer breeders from Zelgren, Zuhraan, Inchara, and Arista for joining me for morning tea today and helping puppy wrangle for photos, and letting me get a really good look at these babies in other people's hands. It means a lot having wonderful support within your own breed. Looking forward to being back out in the show ring with you soon. :)

Lots and lots of puppy spam (no sound on this video, just lots of cute).

4 weeks and 6 days old.

Due to the heat today the babies couldn’t use the kennel as it keeps a bit of afternoon heat in even though it’s covered. So today we waited until after 5.30pm when it cooled off a bit (not much) and they had their first time exploring the big yard.

I think they liked it. ❤️

Excited to have a visit today from fellow Pointer breeder Liz Christensen from Zurhaan Pointers, along with her tribe. The pups weren’t shy and quickly decided they needed to be part of the action.

Thanks to Liz for sharing these photos from the visit. ❤️

Help... I still can't choose!

3.5 weeks old and these babies are all growing beautifully and are so even. I love the toplines and tails, and the heads on a couple of the girls are shaping up to be typical beautiful Pointer heads.

Stacking pups this young isn't something I usually do but it's been interesting to be able to have a good look at them. There are some pretty girls here. I am so stuck.

Which one do you like?
