We are very excited to announce that we are expecting Liina's second (and final) litter.

This pairing brings together some of my favourite lines from Finland, the UK, the USA, and France.
,
This one took a village, so there are several people to thank:
🧬 Jessica Harrison (Tasmanian Canine Reproduction Services) for your professionalism and guidance.
🩺 Roger Blackwell (Meander Valley Vet Service) for coming out of retirement in my hour of need.
📸 Shell Gurney for the stunning announcement
🙏 And of course Niki Allison for allowing a piece of Ruhti to come to Australia.

💚Liina will be maintained in healthy condition and our puppies raised on

💜 Enquiries welcome via RightPaw

Working Dog Club of Tasmania 2026
The Working Dog Club of Tasmania shows are one of my favourite days on the show calendar, but with Liina deciding to come into season six weeks early, I turned to Benni and asked him if he would like to come out for one last spin. Because bouncing around the ring for nuggets is one of his favourite things to do, he agreed.

💛BENNI💛

❤️🖤Group Speciality Show
Judge: Tim Thomas (Qld) - Ochaye Australian Shepherds
💥R/U BEST IN SPECIALTY SHOW (BISS2)

❤️🖤Group Show
Judge: Annette Anagnostis (Tas) - Anbenly Pembrokes
💥BEST IN GROUP (BIG1)

Thank you to both Working Dog specialists who recognised that even at nearly 12, he still looks great and moves well. And to everyone who congratulated us and commented on Benni’s excellent condition.

Thank you to the WDCT committee for a great day and to BellePaker@Homes and BlackHawk for your generous sponsorship, which certainly added to the lovely atmosphere.

Thank you Alicia Adamopoulos Alicia Creative - Photography, for capturing what was most likely our final time in the ring together.

And of course, the biggest ‘thank you’ goes to Benni’s breeder and co-owner, Jacqualine Lincoln, who took a risk and entrusted him to this newbie (to the breed) nearly 10 years ago.

People often comment on how much like her mother, Liina, Aila is.
🤔Yeah. Maybe.
To me she is the spitting image of someone equally as close to home.
💛Great-Uncle Benni.
Here they are pictured at the same age (and level of bikini wearing).

❓️What do you think?

We are excited to announce that today

𝓐𝓲𝓵𝓪 • 𝓐𝓮𝓽𝓸𝔃𝓮𝓮 𝓐𝓾𝓫𝓻𝓮𝔂 𝓗𝓪𝓲𝓿𝓮 (𝓐𝓘)

(Multi Ch. Peikkovuoren Mozart (Fin) x Sup Ch. Armahani Moonstone Movtta)

recieved the final points for her Australian Champion title.

Aila has been fully campaigned by Lil and we could not be prouder of this young team. Along the way, they have taken several group placements and numerous classes in group.

And they finished the day in style with Aila being awarded:

🌟R/U BEST IN GROUP (BIG2)🌟 under Pauline Barclay.

🙏Thank you so much to Cara and Chris Landers for generously sharing Aila with us.
