to become Riginal Champion # 29

Many thanks to Sonja for handling her, that tail never stops wagging but I think she is part kangaroo LOL

We had the Brisbane Royal Show in Queensland on Sunday, such a busy day!

Rubin entertained the crowd and other exhibitors in the 1st show, trying to grab the lead

and generally being a naughty boy

Happy to say he had calmed down a tad by the 2nd show and was awarded Best of Breed,

this is his first Royal and he handled the noisy rides, screams and many other things in his stride!

And last but by no means least we had Noah, not bred by us but we co-own him

with Stephen and Shayne!

Very happy to report that Noah won a very competitive Best Neuter in Group at Brisbane Royal!

Well done Stephen and congratulations to his breeder Liz

1^st  Riginal Lay Lady Lay
Lovely girl with so much promise, good size a teeny bit bum high but she’s a puppy. Excellent top line on the stack with
good croup and moved well once she settled.
