I'm very pleased and proud to announce that Xalibur's Oak has now gained enough points to be named as an AUSTRALIAN CHAMPION (Pending Dogs NSW approval).
A massive thank you to Ludwig Delaby Mitch Vant and Geneviève Gaeng for sending Oak to me it was a long process and I love him to bits and yes a special thank you to Geneviève Gaeng and her family for raising Oak in their home until he was old enough to come to Australia - Oak will now just do the odd show here and there as he much prefers to run free on the farm than be in the ring.
I now look forward to more Oak puppies on the ground in the future.

6 Aug 2017
A massive day yesterday starting at 1am and finishing when I got home at 9 pm. We went to the big smoke in Sydney for not one, but two shows.
MacLaomainn Blood Of The Brave had a brilliant day with huge line ups of top quality puppies and came home with not one but two Baby Puppy In Show!!!!
Judges were very impressed by this young fellow and I had many well known respected breeders of all breeds stop me and tell me what a wonderful puppy he is! I'm so proud of little Puddin head.
Again a massive Thank you to Petra Tomašovičová and Zuzana for allowing me to import Irish Champion Latino Roan Inish's Semen and to Sylvia Munro for taking that chance on me by giving me my darling GD CH Ornumflow Tahnee Lady - the parents of my little boy.
Thank you so much to Sue Worboysand and Sylvia Munro for all the advice and guiding all the way along! Also Thank you to all the judges and everyone that praised him on the weekend for appreciating Puddin head and bothering to telling me!

I am extremely excited and proud to announce: Ch Ornumflow Xakery yesterday went into the show needing only 22 points to gain his SUPREME CHAMPION Title (pending Dogs NSW approval)... which he did in spectacular fashion pulling off two Best in Groups!
I can't thank Sylvia Munro enough for firstly taking a chance on homing a Irish Wolfhound to me years ago and then allowing me to prize Ruckus from her at 12 weeks of age... She knew he was lovely and wanted to keep him but gave in with much pleading from me! Sylvia breeds wonderful dogs proven once again by this spectacular boy. I love him to bits and are just so proud of him he gives 110% every show.
