Our Dogs
|
NZ/AU Champion Schaferden Alfred at Somersetdawn
Alf joined us from Chris and Peter Woods’ Shaferden kennel in Australia in 2007
He is a lovely big boy who came to us fresh from his success at the Sydney Royal show 2007,
where he won the dog champion challenge certificate.
He also attracts a lot of attention here, and is now also a New Zealand show champion.
He and Sky live happily alongside the alpacas, our labrador, George, and our other animals;
but also love our company, a good game, gallop through the woods or splash through the
water race!

NZ Champion Appennini Sofia at Somersetdawn (Sky) (d.o.b 23.1.2006)
Sky was a playful and adventurous puppy, maturing into a beautiful, friendly,
companion, always ready for a game.

We are excitedly awaiting Sky's first litter around 3rd July 09

NZ Champion Appennini Bianca at Somersetdawn (Rosie)
Rosie, who sadly died in Autumn 2009 was a gentle affectionate girl,
enjoying a very successful show career.
She was made up to New Zealand show champion in April 2007 – the first ever
New Zealand born champion.
She had two beautiful litters and was a lovely mother.
Her puppies now live all over New Zealand,
and although we miss her we enjoy hearing regular news of them.
