Our Four-Legged Superstars
Affectionately known as "Rosie", this elegant lady exudes both grace and grit. With titles spanning from Champion to Neuter Champion, and a Coursing Ability Excellent distinction, Rosie has turned heads in and out of the show ring. Her poised demeanour and soulful eyes have stolen many hearts—and a few Best of Breed ribbons too.
A true firecracker in both name and nature, "Red" has been a shining light in our breeding program. He’s more than a Champion—he’s a symbol of vitality, joy, and the classic Wheaten zest for life. With a Coursing Ability Advanced title under his belt and a trophy shelf that tells the story of his wins, Red brings pride to our kennel.
"Secret" might keep his mysteries close, but in the ring, he’s an open book of excellence. This rising star, born in 2023, has already dazzled judges with his charisma, earning multiple Best of Breed titles and making us proud with every graceful gait.
A dreamer, a dancer, a darling pup with a heart as big as her personality. "Dream" has lit up every ring she’s entered, claiming Best in Group and Puppy in Group titles like she was born to it. Her gentle nature and striking good looks make her the perfect blend of companion and competitor.
