About Us
Thank you for visiting our new site. I was born into the dog world as my parents have been involved for over 48 years. Starting with the PBAR prefix and ELVO prefix and in 1982 with the OURTOWN prefix. I competed in the PAL International Child Handlers in the early 1970's being award 5th place (my sister came 1st) and the following year I achieved 2nd placing. I have grown up amongst numerous breeds including Corgis, Standard Poodles, Afghans and Maltese (just to name a few). I had a rather long break and decided to re-join the Dog World. It took me 12 months to decide which breed I wanted to be involved with and I chose the LHASA APSO. My daughter Nina decided that she too wanted to join in with the family tradition - so the next generation has started. We purchased our 1st two Lhasas "Aust Ch Babanga Hapenny - Lucy" and "Aust Ch Babanga Dolamite - Sootie". It was a long haul to gain "Sootie's" title (being our 1st black Lhasa) but we achieved this within 22 mths and Lucy at 18mths. Then came "Aust Ch Babanga Hot Chili Pepper - Chili" - what can we say about this wonderful little girl - Nina is campaigning Chili - She is just the sweetest Lhasa with personality plus and is a delight to show. Chili attained her 100pts at 11 months. We are currently campaigning "Aust Gr Ch Nahemja Odo Hirsch - Jordan", "Aust Ch Zaland Star ov Jordan - Jay Jay", "Aust Ch Zaland Rumour Has It - Rhianna", "Aust Ch Methusela Theenchantress - Paris". We have also campaigned dogs for other Lhasa kennels as well as for other breeds. We are extremely proud of all our babies and their achievements. We are a very small kennel and breed sparingly - we do not breed to fill orders. Our next passion was the "Dalmatian" - so we purchased a puppy from Patrick & Lillian of "Blairwick Dalmatians" and to our pleasure "Jackson" "Aust Ch Blairwick Southern Cross" gained his Title in a short time also. We then purchased Meika "Aust Ch Delrei Picture Perfect" from Mrs Debbie Beattie. Over the years we have also shown Quarter Horses in the sport of Cutting with great success. Nina has not only showed Dogs and Horses, she had also showed cattle when she was just 9 yrs old. Nina is now the fourth generation, in a long family history of show dog enthusiasts. Please have a look at our new site and hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Also don't forget to sign the guestbook.
