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

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!

Anna on the beach with Nettle. She had lots if fun playing in the surf and running Nettle ragged. 

Shades of gray.

Old Chino looking very gray. 

Slumming it

Cosy caves can't be appreciated without sleeping on a hard wooden surface now and again.
