Suedanka Kennels

All wins listed below are at CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWS - I do not count open or ribbon parade wins as truly 'noteable wins' due to the small numbers that enter, they are merely training days.

Announcing the Arrival of 'CASH"  a lovely young man, he stepped off into wet, windy NZ and has bounced out of his crate and greeted everyone with his long waggy tail.

 We are thrilled with the quality of this young man, with angles to burn, thank you to Karleen and Lyn for keeping your promise and sending such a lovely young man, i am sure he will do you proud.

July onwards will see Dagger rejoining the show team for a few a while, thank you in advance to my friends who will step into the ring when i need another handler.....or two...
