Litter brothers at 7 years of age from Chatter and Nikki.

Sasha lives with Ricky in Brisbane and has done extremely well at lure coursing and now is excelling at Sprint Dog races.

Joey lives with us and, believe it or not, he is an excellent hunter and finds quail, ducks and hares by using his excellent sense of smell but despite his talent as a hunter, he is more than happy to while away the house on the couch!

Sometimes there is good news and sometimes it is very sad and this email I received yesterday is a sad one:

“Hi Rosemary, Hope your well xx John and Rachele here from Ashmore Goldcoast not sure if you remember us we had the 2 Ethiopian children we adopted .

We Just wanted to let you know our dear ridgeback Diesel passed away. He was a pup from Solar and Image. He was the most beautiful Amazing handsome Boy we had so many fun and beautiful times with him . He grew up with our sausage dogs and there missing him dearly .

Thankyou so so much for letting him be a part of our family . He honestly brought so much joy and happiness to our family. He was so handsome and his deep red colour was always complimented on . His nature was so gentle .

Thankyou Rosemary. Kindest regards John Rachele Tigi & Obi “

This is such a sad story.

Cayce lives locally and bought Obi from us. Obi was from our Bubbles and Caelum litter born 9 March 2024.

Cayce took Obi out one night for her usual last outing before going to bed and, unbeknownst to Cayce, a snake must have bitten Obi.

The following morning Obi was very sick and despite Cayce rushing her to an emergency vet, they could not save her.

Cayce sent me these pics of Obi’s grave.

Lovely photos sent through from Jon and Ana who have Zulu.

Zulu is from our Chatter – Solar litter born June 2020 and obviously has the best home!!

On 23 November last year Triska had 11 puppies to Caelum and they have now all gone to their new homes.

We are so blessed to have such wonderful families taking our puppies home!

Here are some photos with the puppies being collected by their new families.

Without exception they have all settled in very well.
