Valourforce Poseidon
aka "Moses" ~ DOB - 29/5/04
Multi Best of Breed, class in group & show. Mo was rarely unplaced under a specialist. Pointed towards his title but never continued on with due to his weight being so hard to manage.
Mo continues to stand at stud to the discerning breeder.
Valourforce Hi Jinx
DOB - 29/5/04
Snowy SHOULD be a champion and was well on her way to becoming one, she is now retired from the showring through no fault of her own.
Snowy was pointed towards her title, and in her short career, had racked up some specialty class wins including a Puppy In Show under a UK specialist, and a specialty RCC and Aus Bred In Show under a UK specialist.

A headstrong & very honest bitch, in just a handful of shows "Pip" has proven herself to be a worthy contender. She is a typical and very sound young lady with a gorgeous cheeky temperament.
At about 18 months of age, Pip made her show ring debut, it took her quite some time to settle into the show ring and come to terms with the fact that the dog show, is not an offlead dog park! She lives with friends has been shown sporadically, she has racked up some good wins along the way, rarely going unplaced under a breed specialist.
Pip is owner/breeder handled, and not far off of her title, she is no "walk in the park" to handle and we can most certainly credit her success to winning on her own merits and without favour.
CRITIQUES/RESULTS:
Aust Bred Of Breed - Judge J Blyth (Bustabones)
Red bitch - nearly 2yrs. Topsized girl of good type and in good condition. Pleasing head with correct muzzle to skull ratio and strong underjaw, head framed by neat rose ears. She has good expression through dark round eyes, to be picky I would like her head a little cleaner with less wrinkle. Strong straight front with good bone. She has well sprung ribs and good depth of brisket. Hindquarters are strong and well muscled. She moved with purpose and drive. Australian Bred Of Breed.
SBTCSA CH Show, Judge W Southworth (Staffmaster UK)
1st Valourforce Bad Habits. Red of quality. Strong head, dark eye, tidy ears, good underjaw, straight front, nice expression, good body and rear quarters. She moved and handled well. BOS STATE BRED.
Murray Valley KC Judge T Amos (Verysharp)
RCC
Northern Districts KC - J Hockey (Roughstock)
Bitch challenge, runner up best of breed, Australian bred in group.
Krystal the pistol, my little pocket rocket! Krystal is an absolute fistful at the very best of times, her show career started quite late and she has resisted this "showring business" the whole way - dutifully doing the opposite to what she is asked! Nevertheless her many virtues cannot be ignored, and I will persist with her. In only a handful of shows Krystal has been awarded RCC and 4th out of 20 junior bitches _SBTCV under UK Specialist Kevin Morton.
Dont let that mischeivous look on her face fool you, Dior is a little angel, sound, typey and extremely promising. This exciting young lady comes via the combination of frozen semen from the English dog - Jodels Adagio, and her stunning mother Brookstreet Penderynsway. Dior is an absolute pleasure to live with and a gem to show, at 7 months of age she is already causing ringside whispers whilst she glides around the showring as if she owns it.
Eternal thanks must go to Steve Wilkes (Brookstreet) for entrusting this amazing pup to me, and to Laureen Williams (Jodels UK) for allowing us a llittle piece of Jodels.
I am looking forward to getting Dior out and about on the Australian Specialty show circuit where she will be judged by specialists against the country's finest.
Northern Districts KC, Judge - J Hockey (Roughstock)
1st Minor bitch, Minor of Breed.
"Bella" is here on holidays from Perth. She is an absolute pleasure to handle and live with and we are very proud of her show ring achievements in Adelaide thus far.
Teddy is owned and bred by my good friend Deb Hughes. A product of today's technology via imported frozen semen methods, Teddy is a son of famous International and American Champion Willynwood Redneck and out of the big winning bitch Aust CH Ngnanjalu Breathless.
In his limited show career "Teddy" certainly has painted the town red whilst effortlessly gaining his Australian Champion title with his exemplary temperament construction and movement. I anticipate that he will continue to do so throughout his show and stud career.
**STOP THE PRESS**
Teddy wins BEST OF BREED at ADELAIDE ROYAL SHOW Sept 2010!!! Nice work big boy :-D
