Tommy
Machine Gun Tommy - he is starting to put it together in his workouts.
From day dot I go in and vacuum their room, carpet clean it and they are so used to the noise they don’t care.
What’s going on?
Just Arthur looking for the squeakiest, most annoying toy at midnight.
Roxy girl
Roxy - Roxham Code Pricilla is being spoilt rotten. Roxy was desexed about 18 months ago and has definitely found an amazing home that suits her.
We sometimes have adult dogs that we are no longer showing, breeding or hunting that are looking for new homes. They come desexed, up to date vaccinations and worming and microchipped. There’s nothing better than seeing adult dogs like Roxy thriving and giving so much love and companionship to new families.
Tilly & Dragon
Tilly (darker headed girl) is back for a month or so whilst her owners are on holidays. Dragon absolutely loves her, someone new to play with and annoy. Judy (tan headed girl) is happy just to chew on bones and not too interested in her brother or her cousin.
Buffy in BIS lineup Sporting Terrier
My beautiful Newesk Pins&Needles (aka Buffy) in the line up for BIS at the sporting terrier show. To even get to the cut is simply amazing.
She’s definitely the odd one out.
She’s never won a best in group and she’s only just got her Australian Champion title. All the others are Grand Champions. But what encourages me the most is that each of these dogs have been bred by the owner and all bred the dam (mother) and 2/3 bred the sire (father) as well!
Buffy is the first generation of my ANKC registered Jack Russells, so I’m pretty stroked at the result🥰. Big thanks to Tony Sherriff for showing her, as I had my little 7 month old West Highland pup in lineup also, but we didn’t make the cut!
Teddy - the puppies love a new toy
Oscar is the one who retrieves the Teddy.
Dragon
Generally I use two hands to strip and card coats. Video to show how cool and relaxed Dragon was to be stripped. This is his first proper full body strip, I’ve done bits and pieces as a baby puppy to get him used to it.
Essentially I’m just getting rid of dead coat, so his hair sits neatly. Removing the coarse dead outer coat will allow for new hair to grow through and not be as fluffy.
Trouble day 2
Trouble’s second day on leash. This time just a walk up and down the back verandah. He has slowed his pace down and is paying attention to my feet more for cues. Also watching in the window at the dogs inside watching him🫣. These pups I’ve decided not to use food for training, but a toy as their reward. I’ll use food to get their attention when stacked only.
The journey to the show ring.
Trouble’s first time ever on a lead. He simply followed me up and back, no issues. Some are just naturals on leash, he will be strutting his stuff in no time. But for now, he can just have fun and be a happy pup.
Treasure
Stud dog Treasure is the best puppy entertainer. Today he played with Sadie’s litter, Sequins litter and Lacey’s litter. None of which are his pups. When he’s had enough, her just pops over the puppy fence to the big dog side.
Sadie’s pups
They definitely take after their mother! Sadie’s pups first go on solids (MyDog puppy and lactose free milk) and they loved it. Sadie was patiently watching what was going on. Afterwards she cleaned up bowl of food, pups and every stray bit on towel. She’s definitely Sadie the cleaning lady!!
Welcome to Melbourne Bobby🥰
Love seeing photos of the kiddos in their new homes🐾🐾
Puppies... Finally I have got organised and these guys and girls are are all ready to go❤️
Eddie you are an absolute superstar. Love seeing what Esk bred JRT are up too.
See ta Sassy girl, enjoy the sunshine!
Sassy flew off to her new home up in Brisbane today. She’s such an easy going girl, gets along with everyone, we will miss her.
Flat maggot Lacey.
She may not have won anything today at the show, but Miss Lacey was pretty happy to stretch her legs
JRT have to be smart, after all, their original purpose was to go to ground and quickly and efficiently bolt the fox. Sassy is a problem solver, when the gate was faced onwards, as she can flick it open, now within the last two days, has learnt to open it from inside.
