7th March 2020 - Kaleb gains his Rally Obedience Champion title and thus making him a TRIPLE CHAMPION - being only the 4th in Australian breed history and we believe, the most titled male GSP in Australian breed history. We are enormously proud of our beautiful and supremely talented brown boy and all of his achievements - proudly BREEDER OWNER/HANDLED TO ALL OF HIS TITLES!!
2019 saw Kaleb have a very busy year, competing in Tracking, UD obedience, and also the highest level of Rally Obedience. He obtained his Tracking Championship in August, thus making him a Dual Champion, and ended the year being extremely close to having his Rally Obedience Championship title also.

"Kaleb" is from our only litter out of our stunning and exeptional girl, Coco - Dual Champion (Tracking) Fourjays Just A Charmer UD RN and grandson of our RUBIS & multi BIG/multi trial winning Ch. Fourjays Just WatchMe CDX RE ET CGC.
He has the most stunning head,with beautiful eye colour and is balanced in angulation, both front and rear, with a correct length of loin and body proportions for a GSP. No exaggerations on this boy, he is truly an outstanding representative of this breed in both looks, and ability, with a reliable and biddable temperament, and is everything I have strived for in my breeding program over 20 years.
Continuing our tradition of ensuring "balance" in our dogs, by having titles at both ends of their name, proving they have beauty and brains, he has thus far gained titles in the following areas:
Obedience (CCD,CD and CDX).
Rally-Obedience (RN,RA,RE & RM &Championship titles)
Retrieving Ability (NRA & ORA)
Endurance (ET)
Tracking (TD and TDX & Championship)
and of course his Show Champion title.
In the show ring:
Runner Up Best in Group (Group 2) winner
Multi Best of Breed and challenge wins under breed specialists
Multi 6-12 months puppy sweepstakes placings

He is a 4th generation obedience trial winner and RATG (Retrieving Ability Test for Gundogs) winner. He has an abundance of natural ability in the field and is very keen on quail and ducks, displaying a very stylish pointing style, good use of his nose and is a very enthusiastic retriever, with a love of water retrieves. His two favourite loves in the world are field work/hunting, closely followed by tracking. He shows tenacity and persistence in both of those activities and outstanding use of his nose.
Kaleb is a friendly, very people focused dog and has a joyous, exhuberant and fun loving nature and like all GSPs, is at his happiest spending quality time with his family or out in a paddock working.
He has sired 3 litters and has multiple Champion offspring in conformation and also Rally Obedience, who are themselves Best in Group, multi class in group/in show, Perth & Melbourne Royal challenge/Reserve Challenge and obedience, rally obedience winners. A daughter in WA is doing wonderful things in her career in agility, rally obedience and obedience and she also won the Novice RATG at the 2017 GSP National in SA.
Fully health tested for genetic diseases in this breed, with excellent results as is consistent with all dogs from this kennel, which also consistently produces outstanding longevity.
Thank you to my friends Kath Quinn and Jadine Mackenzie, for all their help and assistance with making the litter that produced this outstanding dog, possible.
