New Babies

Been awhile since I blogged.   
Breeding, whelping and raising babies takes up a lot of time.

The Australian National Kennel Association refused my American Prefix of Centella, but accepted
my second choice of DABNE pronounced dabnee.

My Stella, Ch Allannette Stellar Dream had three babies, a girl and two boys on the 6th June 2019.
Ch Nantiki Mr. Darcy is the Sire and is such a good Daddy.
The girl is named Dabne Miss Georgiana Darcy and has gone to her new home recently.
The boys are named Dabne Mr. Wickham and Dabne Mr. Bingley in keeping with the 'Pride and Prejudice' theme.

I showed them at the Brighton Kennel Club show, just making it at 3 months and one day.  Being their first time out having not left my yard and with little contact with other humans or dogs, I didn't expect too much.
I showed Mr. Wickham in the Baby Sweepstakes on a very cold, windy and rainy day, and Mr Bingley and Mr. Wickham along with their Daddy in the Toy Group later in the day.
Mr. Bingley was Best Baby Puppy and Mr. Darcy was Best of Breed.

The photos from the
Brighton Show are on my
iphone and need to be
downloaded later on.

Mr. Darcy

I once again contacted Jan Boyce, and she had a litter coming, but had promised a bitch and was keeping a bitch for herself, so I said well would she keep me in mind.   
The litter arrived and only two girls and two boys.   I didn't want another boy, but she said I will send you a photo and you can make up your mind.
As soon as I saw his picture, I said I will have him. 

  Here he is all grown up and winning lots of  ribbons and is not only an Australian Champion, but is well on his way to becoming a Grand Champion.   The most adorable little dog with a personality to be envied.   He just turned four years old and we are looking forward to some of his get in the near future.
