Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Good advice for pets. Make sure you have essentials packed if you need to evacuate.

Severe weather can be extra scary for our furry friends. Ensure every member of your family is safe and prepared for Tropical Cyclone Alfred:

🥫 Pack a pet emergency kit with pet food, medication, bedding, toys, leashes, carriers and other essential items
🏠 Keep your pets indoors and secure all doors, windows and pet flaps to prevent escape or injury
🐶 Make sure your dog is registered, with up-to-date contact details
📸 Have a recent photo handy for quick identification purposes if required
🔍 Ensure their microchip information is current in the registry for easy identification if lost
📞 Save details for key emergency contacts, such as the RSPCA, local vets and emergency clinics.

The babies had their first show last night at the Pro Plan Summers End Spectacular.

In the Open Show under judge Mr Mr Michael Eslick, Rosie was Baby Puppy of Breed. Yes she beat little Mintie but I suspect they will swap at different competitions. Sean was given Best of Breed (BOB).

In the Championship Show under judge Ms Tanya Hill, Rosie was also given Baby Puppy of Breed, with Mintie coming second in the Baby Puppy Botch class. Sean was awarded RUBOB.

The babies had a lot of fun and were very cheeky! A huge thank you to Amy Page who handled Rosie while I handled Mintie. Rosie did some great rolls for Amy when she was supposed to be gaiting.

A lovely evening and a great way to introduce the Nolan Family to the world of showing.

Now that it’s official, we are pleased to introduce:

Deargban ItsMoments Like These “Mintie”

Deargban The Water Diviner “Rosie”

Both Mintie and Rosie are co-owned with the Nolan Family and we anticipate that there will be some Junior Handlers coming through. (So if you see them at shows, please help them along.)

Sire: Ch Trucharm Man Of Mystery “Austin/Aussie”
Dam: Trucharm The Edge of Love TDX TSDX “Sienna”

It was a girls night for the first Scentwork trial of the year and it was the Caboolture Sports Dog Obedience Club’s Vehicles Trial.

Tiffany competed in her first Advanced level and it was the first time I was able to handle with her. She did a great job, identifying Clove first and then onto Birch. A great job although, I forget to say finish and nearly ran out of time but luckily we did get a qualie even with her silly handler - under judge Barb Murfert!

Sienna was in Novice with handler Kellie and did an amazing job under judge Barb Murfert! Think she came unofficially 4th. This was her first time back after maternity leave and although she’s very naked, I was extremely pleased with her.

Sean also competed in Novice with me as handler but unfortunately we ran out of time. under judge Jeanette Durante!

I had some good lessons last night which I will put into place in my training and future comps. I don’t think I’ll forget to say finish!

Happy 11th Birthday of Gemma and Magee’s little pups: Tilly, Maddie and Jax for yesterday! Sadly some are celebrating in rainbow bridge.

This is pretty accurate! What do you think?

I was very fortunate to have 4 of the puppies come back on their 12th week Birthday to have a play date.

Such gorgeous pups!

A good perspective - it should be exposure to all sorts of things rather than forced socialisation.

The exposure to everything is vital and them knowing they will be ok.

These two girls are loving growing up together! Lucky little ones. From the very beginning, these two were always with each other.

Absolutely love puppy updates

It’s bittersweet when pups leave 🥲 they are like family to me and become a part of my heart. 💕

Rosemary who is now Chloe headed down the Coast to be a loved family member for Denise and Allan. I look forward to seeing her develop.

Poppie will be joined with her sister Peace who truly were never far apart from each other. They will now be living the life up the Sunshine Coast with Melanie and Keith, and I’m told they will be surfer chicks - maybe even get on some Paddle Boards. Melanie and Keith had Ember the 2nd from my 2011 litter.

Poli who is now Rosie will be now living with her sister Mint and their older sister Gracie who is from my 2010 litter. They will be loved my Emma, Daniel, Joshua and Ivy.

Zac flew down to Melbourne to live with Mark, Steph and Harry and his full sister Jemma (from my 2022 litter). The family recently lost Bear who was from my 2010 litter so Jemma is looking forward to having a companion again.

Seeing the smiles on the faces of the new family members - it’s why I love breeding ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for giving them beautiful homes.

I feel honoured and privileged that I get to see these young ones develop and grow. I’m also so appreciative that families come back to me for the furbabies!

Well after falling in love with this gorgeous boy, Sienna, Sean and I made the trip to the airport this morning to drop him off for his next adventure. It’s hard seeing him go but I know he will have an amazing life.

08/01/2025

Huge afternoon evening for the little tribe. We headed out at 3pm to go to the vets for Zac to get his “Fit to Fly” certificate. Then we headed to Scentwork training with some friends. While Sean and Sienna did some Scentwork training, Zac got cuddles or did some crate training (he was never on the ground).

Sienna who has had a l-o-n-g break in training, remembered everything so that was fantastic.

Then back in the car in a wire crate he shared with his big brother, for the long drive home and home by 8.30pm.

So all in all, Zac had a good afternoon of socialisation and crate training.

Zac is enjoying his chicken wing in peace without having to battle his sisters as they all went to their furever homes today! I have the pleasure of having Zac here until he flies out on Friday.

I can’t believe we are already at the 8 week mark - yes they are 8 weeks tomorrow and they start leaving the nest - I’m going to miss these beautiful pups. It has been such a delight in watching them grow. 😁💗 I look forward to updates from their furever homes! 🙏💕 (due to changes in family circumstances, Peace and Mint are still looking for the right family).

The ‘Remembrance’ themed litter - was hoping for the 11.11.24 (with spy as dad ‘Austin’ Trucharm Man of Mystery and Siblings after James Bond, it seems appropriate).

Pup 1 - black and white boy, whelping name ‘ZAC’

Pup 2 - black and white girl, whelping name ‘Rosemary’

Pup 3 - red and white girl, whelping name ‘Poppie’

Pup 4 - black and white girl, whelping name ‘Mint’

Pup 5 - black and white girl, whelping name ‘Poli’

Pup 6 - black and white girl, whelping name ‘Peace’

Sienna and Austin are proud parents.

How to exercise pups 101! Get mum to have a run and pups will chase - it’s like a running milk bar but the milk bar doesn’t want to be caught.
