So proud!

At yesterday's North Island Bull Terrier Clubs Championship and open show Banderbear and Trouble did so well.

At the open show Trouble got best of breed.

At the championship show Banderbear got best of breed.

Trouble also became

CH Trouble Kelp Of Sleek ROM. 

Chino turns 14

Not many bullies get to 14. But Chino has managed it. He celebrated with a special cake and lots of love. 

New champion!

Following in his full sister's Ch Holly Short Of Sleek, and his half sister's Ch Banderbear Of Sleek ROM, Trouble is now Ch Trouble Kelp Of Sleek at 8.5 years old!  Never to old. 

So tough

Cruising at the shows

Trouble taking it easy between stints in the ring. Hes half way to a champion now. 

Is it warm enough

Puppy love

The cat gets far too much attention

Just because it catches mice and rabbits. What about me, aren't I your favourite anymore. 

We now have a cat

He's pretty pesky and annoying. He even tries to beat me up when I don't leave him alone. His name is Zeus. Named after some cat in a zombie novel. 

Free!

After spending the weekend at the dogs shows I got to run free on the beach. Nothing like a good sprint through the waves to blow off all the cobwebs.

Show dogs at Sleek Kennels do not spend their lives locked in cages!

Got the rabbit!

Banderbear's rabbit catching skills have improved-even if she did have to go to animates to succeed! 

Christmas Day run

Banderbear and Anna Fang in the park. 

Nothing like a good run on Christmas Day. 

Who's paws are these?

Could they be Anna Fang's?  Gotta keep an eye on that cat in case it gets too much attention. 

New Zealand's first ROM bitch!

Ch Banderbear Of Sleek ROM. It has a great ring about it. Not only did Bear earn this award she also achieved reserve in show and NZ bred in show. A true princess. 

Mine Dad!

Can we go walking now?

Bored with sitting around but she indoors is limping. Go on you sook!  That ankle really isn't that bad!

Fuzzy says hi!

Fuzzy the cheeky bird. 

Beach babe!
