Latest pic of Glen & I when we went to Dream World recently :-) Glen feeding the Roo's at Australia Zoo August 4th 8th Sept 07 Well once again we have moved AGAIN!!!!!!! ARRRRRRGGGGGG I tell ya I'm sick and tired of moving, it's such a big job and when there is only 2 of you to do it all it's a really big job. We have moved on to some land now about 2.5 acers and the dogs are really loving it.....They have there own little dam to swim in and loads of room to romp around on. Last move but, next one will be into our own house!!!! Well we have finished up showing for this year, have a few other things to concerntrate on at the moment but we'll be back don't worry about that. I have a few little shows I want to do and the QLD specialty still this year but thats it. We have some litter planned for the very end of the year and through till about half way through next year, We are very excited about them as we are going to try a few things and hopefully add something special to our bloodlines to help further our breeding programme so keep posted!!! 5th July 07 I thought I should introduce our other fur kids which don't get talked about much on this type of website. Glen has taken to all my Staffords so well and they adore him but Glen suprisingly enough likes cats alot and brought to the family a wonderful cat called Marlie (I'm not a huge cat fan, I have owned them but not quiet like this cat). Marlie has a personality to die for and is exceptionally friendly to all he meets, he talks to you and follows you round much like a dog would. Marlie is a Burmese X Siamese and thankfully only got the colouring from the siamese. His personality is Burmese through and through. We recently got a play mate and companion for Marlie in a little white kitten called Lily, she is a Blue Russian X Persian and again a very friendly young lady. Here is a picture of the two. 4th July 07 Here are the latest pictures of Darwin in his home in China, he was exported at 4mths and these are of him at 11mths. His family are originally from the UK but are living for work in Shanghai. He has apparently drawn alot of attention over there from the locals as white dogs are good luck. So he gets lots of pats from passes by. Darwin is a gentle giant with a to die for personality and temperament. Darwin at play!!! Typical Stafford trait, "must catch the water & eat it!!" Darwin waiting pateniently for his new red ball, "Come on Ella I'm being a good boy....see see see!!!" This is Darwin and his play mate...this saint is 5mths younger than Darwin but is bigger already. They live in the same housing village together and have regular play dates. 20th June 07 The Ourknights Show team have a great day out at The Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club Of QLD's Champ show on the 9th June. I had 4 entered and all placed in there respective classes. Billie, Chill, Diva & Breeze. Young Breezie Bear taking the top honours of PUPPY IN SHOW at her first Speacialty. Bill placed 2nd in a top quality class, Chill took home 4th in her junior class and Diva followed up the placings to Breeze with a 4th in the puppy class. I'm very proud of the gang. 18th June 07 Latest critiques have been loaded to the show results pages for my guys. 10th May 07 So much has happened for us in the last 4 months. Storms babies have grown and gone to there new homes (photo's in the baby album). Chill got her first points with a Bitch CC while I was away, handled beautifully by Mel. All the girls taking there turns in the classes and winning classes of group. Billie has also been doing quiet well when he wins his class. He has a few Res CC's and a few classes. Storm will be making a return to the ring in the coming weeks. She wont be shown alot but she does love it and will be taken out on occassion, along with Jake who will be entered in the neuter class where possible. We made a fleeting trip to Sydney for the NSW specialty over Easter. Billie, Chill and Oscar where shown and with some reasonable results from Chill and Oscar. Chill placing 5th out of a large class and Oscar placing 6th out of another large class. 23rd Jan 07 Storm delivers her 2nd litter with ease, I'm very proud of her as she had to have a ceasar for the last puppy in her first litter. So was concerned she would struggle with this one but not a chance she breezed through it in 2hrs 20mins for 6 new babies. Jake is a very proud father and he better be as this is his last litter. Jake has since been nuetered. So we have 3 of each sex and mum and bub are doing really well.
