Thank you to Jenny a lovely lady who put together some of my Kelpies on her beautiful mugs, bags, t-shirts. This photo is taken from one of the mugs that Jenny made for us. 

I will try to write some news regularly with what  is happening here at Wingdari.

In 2010  - new property - new adventures.

Aust. Grand Ch. Wingdari Bush Xmas "Chelsea" will be back in the show ring along with three of her sons. "Chelsea" has been out of the show ring since last April 2009 to have a litter of puppies.  "Chelsea" and "Sonny" (who is now 12 years old) produced three amazing boys. Because of "Sonny's" age I was hoping that "Chelsea" would have puppies to him and he did not let me down.   "Sonny's" progeny has done extremely well in the show ring. "Sonny" has sired Australian Champions, Best In Show, Runner Up In Show and multi Class in Show winners - a Swedish daughter that holds five different titles including a World Junior Champion Title and just recently at the World Dog Show in Copenhagen World Veteran Winner, his son in Finland holds the Junior Winner Title at Helsinki and is a Finnish Champion. "Chelsea's" record speaks for itself as a multi Best In Show, Runner Up Best in Show, classes in show wins and being the youngest Kelpie at gaining her Grand Champion Title and to win a Best In Show All Breeds show at 9 months of age.

Robyn and Craig Foster of Arcticplace Kennels in partnerhship with Wingdari have taken on board to campaign "Chelsea's" and "Sonny's" son Wingdari Man From Snowy River  - "Clancy". 

Debbie and Steve Albert of Goodwill Kennels and also in partnership with Wingdari have taken to campaign "Chelsea" and "Sonny's" son Wingdari Master Of The Shed" - "Ringer".

 Long time friends Jacqi and Jim, who have  Gemma, one of my Kelpies now for seven years and has been doing agility - last year winning four agility and jumping titles - they now have taken into their hearts the third son of "Chelsea" and "Sonny" - Wingdari Man From Iron Bark" - "Woody".

To my dear friends, Robyn and Craig, Debbie and Steve and Jacqi and Jim a very big thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the boys on board.  

Both "Clancy" and "Ringer" unofficially obtained their Australian Championship Titles at the tender age of 10 months.  "Clancy" was one year and ten days old, winning his Australian Title officially along with two Best Exhibit in Groups, Three Junior in Groups and One Junior in Show to do it in style. "Ringer" also achieved his title officially in style having to compete against some very stiff competition around Newcastle where he is shown - great wins - Runner Up Best Exhibit in Group and Two Junior In Show in one weekend and just into the Junior Class.  Well done to Craig and Robyn - Debbie and Steve - Thanks a million for campaigning the boys. "Woody" is now in training to start his agility titles.  Jacqi already informs me that this little man is just so clever - already weaving, going through the tunnel and jumping.  Always willing to learn more and that "Woody" has the most easy going temperment.   "Clancy" and "Ringer" have that same happy easy going attitude towards everything that they are asked to do.

Have not done a great deal of showing this year - not even the Royals due to the fact that  I have been preparing my farm for sale.   The house is now ready to go back on the market.

Here at Wingdari we have a lovely black/tan girl called "Jilly" or "Jillybean" as Auntie Rosie and Auntie Kirsty christened her due to the fact that she looked like a small black jellybean when she was born.  "Jilly" is a delightful outgoing happy girl with heaps of attitude.  Looking forward to having fun with "Jilly" as it is going to be very interesting to see how the judges react to this flashy black/tan young lady.  A big thank you to Cass for allowing me to use her lovely boy. We are all looking forward to having fun with our "Jillybean". 

Australian Kelpies can be trained to do anything from being a 
working dog, show dog, obedience, agility,
 search and rescue, pets as therapy, 
or just your best mate.
