Very busy times at Kirinbell.  Hot on the heels of her mother, Piper (Ch Kirinbell Party Doll CCD RN) delivered 8 beautiful puppies.  This litter is sired by George (Ch Tobenlee C In Can Dance At Doon).  Piper is a truly fantastic Mum and is doing a wonderful job with her puppies.  All puppies from this litter are spoken for.

Samba (Ch Tobenlee Chase N Shadows RN ET JC) delivered 11 gorgeous fat puppies.  These puppies are sired by Oakley (Tobenlee I Can See Clearly Now).  Samba and her babies are doing very well.  This is Samba's last litter so these are extra special babies.  All puppies from this litter are spoken for.

Today Frank and I attended the Northern Gundog Society of NSW show held at Hillsborough and what a memorable day it turned out to be! 

Gilbert was awarded a very nice 11 point Best of Breed which more than gave him the final points needed for his Grand Championship title! He is my first home bred Grand Champion; I am so so proud of him. Then to make the day even more memorable we managed to squeeze in a Rally trial between breed and group judging and earned a Rally Novice quallie and Title. Pending Dogs NSW Gilbert will be known as Grand Champion Kirinbell Get Off My Cloud RN ET. He is certainly following in his sire's pawprints.

The icing on the cake of an already fabulous day was Jagger being awarded Best Neuter in Show!! Wow a day I will always remember!

I received this heartwarming email today.  This kind of feedback makes it all worthwhile.

Hi Sam

Yes, we are all well, and I am happy for you to share. Solay is so much part of the family – always attentive and engaged with what is happening – eyes locked onto me. I’ll describe a few of the things which make her a  great companion for me (plus the things we are still working on), so that you can pass on to prospective owners, if you wish, what is possible. You will know that this goes hand-in-hand with adequate training and socialisation.

I can take her anywhere as she is so well behaved, totally quiet, in the car, and has excellent manners, waiting patiently for me to give the cue to exit. She is also perfectly happy to wait curled up snoozing in the car whilst I do grocery shopping etc. We visit coffee shops etc and she sits patiently and calmly under the table, irrespective of other dogs, birds etc in the area; and will happily come out for the obligatory pats from kids and strangers. 

I have had minimal incidents with chewing and/digging as she has been growing up – possible due to management as much as anything. She still has the toys that she was given as a 3 month old pup!.. well mouthed to get every last squeak out, but not chewed.

Her barking is absolutely appropriate – she barks at unknown people at the front of our place, and then she comes to me, as much to say “I’ve let you know they are here, now over to you”, and she will stop with a calm command from me. She also has a peculiar short bark to get my attention which is quite different, and has alerted me to her finding a large lizard, a snake and an echidna on different occasions. She does not bark at the birds (but will chase them, unless instructed not to); and she sits quietly and surveys the brush turkeys through our (pool) fencing as they regularly stroll within a few metres along their bush path at the back of our property.

As you know, she has been great as a visitor dog (from 4 months to 3 years) in my parents Aged Care Facility – all stopped now unfortunately due to Covid.

She has been rather pushy in wanting to play too roughly with some (young and timid) dogs in the off-leash dog parks ….. Never any aggression, just full-on. I have handled this by intervening, and also by matching her with bigger dogs who can better cope. Reassuringly, now that some of the frenetic adolescent behaviour has disappeared, she is much more polite and calm.

Her ‘wash ‘n wear’ coat is fabulous. Even if she gets filthy dirty, which she can after tumbling and wrestling with other dogs interspersed with plunging into the water bowls (head under water at times), she can then,  within a very short space of time, appear completely clean again!!!! …. I don’t quite understand it, but it is great … and she drip dries quickly. The shedding is minimal (and is nothing to me after having a labrador!)

I am really pleased with our current Agility training – we both love the activity, and she is a keen natural – only held back by her poor handler (me!) who is trying to remember what I am supposed to be doing. My biggest challenge has been her tendency to be distracted by smell or sight and run off to follow it, but that is progressively improving with age.

I have included a few photos, and I must admit that Solay has learnt to be very tolerant of the things that I ask of her, posing her in unexpected situations. The latest trick is that she holds shmacko straps between her top lip and teeth - to mimic the appearance of walrus tusks – until I give the release word for her to eat the shmackos! … an amusing trick to teach during Covid times!!

Our first show of the year at Combined Northern Canine Committee Show and Gilbert RUNNER UP TO BEST IN GROUP and BEST AUSTRALIAN BRED IN GROUP.   Off to a good start!!

 

**1st January 2020**

We attended the Dogs NSW PR Committee Christmas Show. It was a great way to finish our show year; a lovely cool evening spent in the company of wonderful friends, with good food, beautiful dogs to run with and some very nice results.
Jagger (Gr Ch Tobenlee Moves Like Jagger CD AT JD ET JC) showed himself beautifully (he really does love the show ring). He was awarded a nice 11 point Best of Breed and was shortlisted for Best in Group. Unfortunately he was knocked out for Class by the group winner.
Gilbert (Ch Kirinbell Get Off My Cloud ET) was Reserve Dog Challenge and was also knocked out for class by the group runner up.
Stanley (Kirinbell Me N Mo) and Jem (Kirinbell Chase N The Dragon) showed exceptionally well. I am so proud of both these youngsters and was absolutely thrilled to bits when Jem was awarded Best Minor Puppy in Group!!
Not to be outdone both Gertie (Ch Kirinbell Brown Sugar ET) and Samba (Ch Tobenlee Chase N Shadows RN JC) showed just as well as the boys with Gertie being awarded Bitch Challenge, Runner Up Best of Breed and Intermediate in Group!!

**1st December 2019**

A fun weekend away in Cooma with our Brittany kids and baby Jem. 

I am thrilled with how Gilbert, Gertie and Jem showed. We had very consistent results; Gertie Best of Breed, Gilbert Runner Up Best of Breed and Jem Minor of Breed over the three Championship shows. Gertie was shortlisted for Group Friday and Saturday and today RUNNER UP TO BEST IN GROUP!!! I am super proud of our homebred Flirty Gertie Girl and very grateful to have received some lovely compliments on all the kids.

**15th November 2019**

Happy 7th Birthday Jagger!  
I cannot believe how quickly the years have gone by and can honestly say I could not wish for a better dog, he lives each day to fullest, loves everyone he meets and brings joy to my life every day. Love him to bits xxx

 

 

**5th November 2019**

Gilbert, Gertie, Stanley and I had an amazing trip down to Victoria for the prestigious Melbourne Cup weekend of shows.  The Victorian Gundog Show - Gertie Bitch Challenge and Runner Up Best of Breed - Gilbert Reserve Dog Challenge

 Vic Womens All Breeds Show - Gertie Bitch Challenge and Runner Up Best of Breed - Gilbert Reserve Dog Challenge

 Sunbury Canine Club Show - Gertie Bitch Challenge and Runner to Best of Breed - Gilbert  Dog Challenge and Best of Breed 

Stanley was Baby Puppy of Breed at all three shows.

 

**22nd September 2019**

A few photos from our weekend at Coffs Habour. The dogs were not at all greedy; Gilbert, Gertie and Jagger shared, each were awarded Best of Breed. Jem was Baby of Breed at all three shows, he is a total angel and was loved by everyone who met him.

 

 

**15th September 2019**

Jagger, Gertie & I travelled to Glenreagh for Clarence Dog Sports Quadruple Agility & Jumping Trial. We had a very relaxing weekend in the company of Jem & Co.
We had mixed results with our runs. First up on Saturday JDX & I was beyond thrilled with our first run. We DQ'd but that was entirely on me, I sent Jagger the wrong way over one of the last jumps 🤓  & of course he is such a good boy he did exactly as I asked him to do 😀  Next up was AD & again I was thrilled, we faulted on the first jump but from there on it was a clear round & we got the weaves!!!👏 

It turned out to be quite a hot afternoon & for our next 2 runs Jagger was not enthused & made it clear he had had enough for the day.  

Sunday morning JDX; we ran clear for our first JDX quallie!! AD was going beautifully until Jagger decided to skip the first tunnel, take the second one & leave the ring to make friends with a gentleman sitting nearby eating his lunch!  LOL 
This was the first time we have travelled away for Agility and we had a great time.

 

**8th September 2019**

Dogs NSW Library & Archives Show

3-6 Months Sweepstakes Jem aka Kirinbell Chase N The Dragon was awarded second place from a large competitive line up.  Go Baby Jem!!

Not wanting to be left out Gilbert performed beautifully to be awarded Best Bred by Exhibitor in the Gundog Group!

 

 

**15th August 2019**

We showed Jagger, Gilbert & Gertie at the EKKA (Brisbane Royal). There were twelve Brittanys entered, the most I have ever had the pleasure to show with. 
I am absolutely thrilled with our results; Gilbert and Gertie had very stiff competition starting right at class level, completing against mature Grand and Supreme Champions.  Gilbert 1st Australian Bred Dog,  Gertie 1st Intermediate Bitch, Bitch Challenge winner, Intermediate of Breed and Runner Up Best of Breed!! Go Gertie girl!! 
Gertie has won Bitch Challenge and Runner Up Best of Breed at 3 Royal shows this year, Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane - quite an achievement for our cheeky homebred girl 💕
Super proud of how all the kids represented their breed.

**11th August 2019**

A chilly start to the morning at the Dogs NSW Obedience and Tracking Committee Endurance Test.  Gilbert and Gertie ... aka the Bad Brown Babies .... aka the Terrible Twins... were exceptionally good Brittanys.  They successfully passed their 20km Endurance Test under Judge Sharon Hannigan NSW to be awarded their ET title.  They will now be known as Australian Champion Kirinbell Get Off My Cloud ET and Australian Champion Kirinbell Brown Sugar ET.  A special thank you to Fiona Gill for piloting Gertie for the 20km ride and obedience tests.

 

**4th August 2019**

We attended Northern Suburbs Dog Training Club Jumping and Agility Trial; Jagger clear round and scored a  3rd place in Jumping Dog Novice 500.  I am always overjoyed when we get a clear but am extremely proud when Jagger earns a place.  500 height class is the toughest and most competitve being the class that has most of the super speedy Border Collies, Kelpies and the like.  Good Job Jagger!!

 

 

**29th July 2019**

It was a bittersweet weekend at Kirinbell.  Our puppies have gone off to their new homes.  As a breeder and their 'mum' it is very hard to say goodbye, but at the same time it is a wonderful experience to see the joy  with which they are received by their new families.  The puppies have gone to live their best lives far and wide; Sydney, Southern NSW, Melbourne, Regional Victoria, Brisbane, Darwin and Tasmania.  We look forward to being kept up to date with the adventures of our 'N'  and 'Chase' litter puppies; all of them always have a place in our hearts.

 

**13 July 2019**

At the Agility Dog Club of NSW Jumping and Agility Trial Jagger ran a gorgeous clear round and  scored a lovely 3rd place in Jumping Dog Novice 500.  Love my dog!!
