What a year 2023 was. Dogzonline Point Score final tally of points.

3 dogs were shown in 2023, Pearl debuted in a couple of baby puppy shows early in the year for experience.

3 dogs shown - 3 dogs to gain their Australian Championship title. I am not out there every weekend and as age, old horse injuries and arthritis are catching up, I no longer can campaign my dogs to their full ability against those younger and/or fitter legs.

"Sage" (Ch Nahrof I Put A Spell On You {ai}) went to Townsville for a few weeks early this year before maternal duties took her out of the ring at Easter.

"Splatty" (Ch Nahrof Thief In The House) returned to the show ring May this year after a few years break. In just a few short months we gained all the points needed for her Australian Champion title, finishing it off in Style with a "Best In Group" with stiff competition.

"Bandit" (Ch Mystiqview Thief In the Mirror) not to be outdone by his mother Splatty, joined the show team in June this year and also in a few short months, gained his points to also be known as an Australian Champion and finish off his title with a Runner Up Best In Group behind a multi Best In Show winner and other tough competition.

Thank you to those judges who have been able to look past the handler's in ability to run and showcase their dog (aka me) to their full potential and still see the quality in these dogs.

National Leader board (Total of 40 listed):
#31 Ch. Nahrof Thief In The House (From only 10 shows)

Thank you to my travelling buddy, Rochelle for 2023, friends and helpers to make 2023 the success it was. Without your support, these achievements would not have happened.

I wish Carol Ward and Freya all the success for 2024 and hope you get those final points for Frey's Neuter Champ title and those others you are chasing. You have done well and I am proud of you and what you have achieved with her.

What a great 2.5 weeks away showing up in North Queensland. 14 Conformation Shows and two new Australian Champions!

"Splatty" - now can be known as Australian Champion Nahrof Thief In the House (Pending Dogs Queensland).

She finished off her title in style gaining a great 25 point Best in Group.

Splatty only did 12 of the 14 shows and enjoyed air conditioned luxury after gaining her title for the remaining two shows.

Not do quite be outdone by his mother, "Bandit" - also gained his final points to his Australian Champion title and a Runner Up Best In Group and be known as Australian Champion Mystiqview Thief In The Mirror (Pending Dogs Queensland).

Bandit is the first Australian Champion for his mother Nahrof Thief In the House and the third Australian Champion for his father Australian Champion Nahrof Man In The Mirror.

Bandit is the 3rd home bred champion. For such a small kennel, I am pleased the judges he has been under has recognised his quality and worthiness of his title.

Thank you to all those who came up and phoned me and congratulated me on bringing home two champions and cheering their wins.

Thank you to Lauren and the Nahrof team for all your support and allowing me to have and campaign your lovely dogs.

Thank you to those who have helped and supported me along the way, handling my Bandit when I was not able to. I could not have done it without your ongoing help and support. I am truly blessed.

So pleased on how these two performed in the heat and humidity of North Queensland.

Update: Phantom has found a home

Phantom needs a home. Poor little dude is "homeless" with his sisters to soon leave the nest. He is a loving, cheeky and outgoing boy with oozing bubbly personality and would be a great pet or sporting dog.
He has been fully DNA tested (awaiting results) and ready to leave from 7th August 2023.
If you know of anyone looking for a cuddly pedigree male border collie. Please share.

Pups are now 4.5 weeks old and have moved out to their big play area.

Due to buyer default, I have one female and one male available from this litter.

"Phantom" - half white face male is the cheeky boy in this litter. Absolute sweetheart and cuddly with plenty of s***k.

"Spud" - Female. She is a confident little girl who will do well in sports or a family with young children.

Both pups come with full DNA profiles for all the current genetic diseases. Microchipped and wormed every two weeks. A comprehensive puppy pack including toys, blanket, Royal Canin food, collar and lead made by myself at "Bling My Leather".

They are raised using "Puppy Culture" principles to give them the head start to be well adjusted, social and confident puppies in their new homes.

They will be ready to leave 5th August at 8 weeks.
