We're lucky to have so many puppy people local to us in the leafy Yarra Valley. 🌿 Happy and Allegra got to adventure in the forest over the weekend – they had the best time!

So proud of our pretty lady Allegra who has just passed into another level of obedience. And with lovely feedback from our instructors who commend her “perfect heel”! 🥰

We are constantly impressed by Allegra’s level of eagerness to work and ability to focus in high-stimulation environments. Setters often have different motivation systems to other, more popular breeds (often in the herding group), but once you tap into what drives them the sky is the limit!

Our 2025 goal with Allegra is to finish her conformation championship (half way there!), have our first Rally trial in late-May, and start foundation Agility classes! 🫶🏅

This weekend we had a sleepover with Happy (previously Dreamfyre) from our Fire & Blood litter – so much fun!

For a seven-month-old puppy she has been a joy, slotting into our routine and the pack as if she’s been here all along. For our dogs, from the moment she walked in it’s like she never left. Such a proud breeder moment, and we’re going to miss her! 🥹

The Whimsily team had a wonderful day out at the Easter double show. We couldn’t be prouder of this mini team and their wins today!

Our lovely girl ❣️Allegra - Whimsily Heart of Italty❣️placed a lovely challenge bitch against her beautiful sisters, following up with a runner-up Best of Breed.

The star of the show is the stunning 💛 Happy - Whimsily Breaker Of Chains 💛 co-owned by Darcy Evans. On her third ever show she placed Best Minor Puppy in Group against a stunning lineup! 🤩

As usual, Arthur & Betty (also pictured) strutted their stuff and had some lovely success today, which I’m sure our friend and co-owner Eve Faichnie will follow up in a post of her own. 🥰

All the dogs behaved fabulously and made us proud. Congrats everyone! 🐣

This weekend we celebrated the Italy litter's 1st birthday! 🥹🥰 Despite rain, mud and thunderstorms, the dogs got together and had a blast. We even had some special visitors from the Fire & Blood litter.
Thank you so much to everyone who trekked down to see us and braved the rain. ☔️ And an extra special thank you to Kiara (Gelato's mom) for the photos!

Our 10 perfect little dragons have all made it home. 💚 Though we didn’t manage to get photos of everyone (I still have puppy brain 😅), we wish all of our new families a life full of joy, adventure and endless love with their new puppies.

For the Whimsily team, we’re now looking forward a long rest, some sleep-ins and to watch these beautiful puppies grow up.

Merry Christmas from the Whimsily family ❤️🎄Allegra, Clementine and Story, the resident Golden. 🦮

We had a fabulous day out to the Setter speciality yesterday, lugging four puppies along with us (who handled the environment like little pros) and meeting some new families along the way. 💙

We're so incredibly proud of the Whimsily team who got to celebrate a little success too!
🏅 Allegra – Whimsily Heart Of Italy – First in Puppy bitch
🏆 Arthur – Whimsily Venetian Heist at Setatrend – Puppy IN SHOW 🥳🥳

We'll let Eve share her winner pics, so for now, here are some baby stacks we've yet to share of the Fire & Blood litter at 5.5 weeks (some were more co-operative than others haha). Can you guess who our show puppies might be? 😉

Tomorrow we’ll be at KCC Park for a Setter speciality show. This will be the first show bag for baby Allegra in quite some time! 🌳

If you’re in the area tomorrow and interested in meeting the Whimsily team, we’d love to see you! 🥳

Another day, another training session for the Fire & Blood puppies! Today we’re setting them up for the future by tackling resource guarding. 🦴

🤔 What are we doing?
These mini sessions make a major impact on each dog’s future. By exchanging their bones with yummy raw chicken, we’re introducing a Conditioned Emotional Response (CER) to having their resources handled by humans.

💡What are we looking for?
The lightbulb moment! This is when each puppy sees our hand approaching and happily leaves their bone because they know something better is coming. We’re also looking for wiggly bodies, soft expressions and the realisation that they don’t need to guard their resources from people.

🛑 We NEVER recommend using these protocols for dogs 12 weeks and older - we are using a protocol designed by Puppy Culture specifically for infant dogs.

🎧 Tune into the end for some extremely upset boys who desperately want more chicken. 😂
