A very long and hot day today at Durack. We only entered todays shows as we depart for the USA on Monday. The girls didn’t disappoint with Isla. The golden girl winning best of breed at both shows second show she was shortlisted for Best in  group and went onto junior in group Tia the tiger a.k.a. big bird was runner-up best of breed at both shows to her little sister and took out intermediate in group at the first show, we were knocked out by the runner-up best in show winner tonight so home and a bit of a sleep in tomorrow morning.
Isla had decided to come into season, so Norman had to spend the day at home much to his disgust.
Thanks to Narelle Adams for the cute picture of the girls waiting to go in for their respective groups.
Our dogs thrive in ADVANCE and we thank them for their continued support
We are very proud Advance ambassadors

A good breeder provides a clean, stable and loving environment for their puppies. They are people who have dedicated their life to their chosen breed. Mentored by greats! They have deep and insatiable passion and are always in pursuit of perfection. A good breeder is not one who is in this sport just for the ribbons, they are in it to create great dogs. Dogs with soundness of temperament, structure, health and great beauty. Author Michelle Hickey 2011
