Tata
(CH Temora Taint She Sweet) is home after staying with fellow Breeder Susan
Bentley. She will be out here and there as a Special for a while representing
my kennel.
I will have her information up on the girls page soon!
Mikki
is due to have puppies any day now. She is showing signs, but not quite there
yet. I will be glad to get her out of my bed. She likes to lay on my pillow and
snore in my ear and lately due to the puppies, she wants to get both me and my
husband up at 5:00am so she can go outside!

Paris's
critique from her first show in the UK has been published, here is what Judge
Richard Wright had to say: Stoddart’s Am Ch Temora’s The Simple Life,
first class make & shape with lovely balance. Up to size but with such symmetry
& overall quality could not be denied. Coat, though of good texture, could
improve to effect. Moved & showed well, out moving much of the opposition,
should go on from here. CC
Also
heard that Mikey (Temora's P's New Guy In Town), owned by Gerard Walsh
had him in a B-Match over Memorial Day Weekend with other aussie puppies like
himself and he won BOB and a Puppy Group 4!

From The Homefront!
Mac (Temora's Ri Diercc) Sini (Temora
Tru Blu Ozzy) and Syn (Armirelli's About Sin) were at the Dekalb KC
show on Saturday
Mac won WD, BOW, BOB
Syn won WB, BOS
Sini won RWB
Judge
had given Bull (CH Temora Bully For You) numerous Group 1 placements in 2006 which
helped make him the #1 All-Breed Aussie in 2006, so when I told him that Syn was
a great granddaughter of Bully, he was very happy that he had awarded her the
point.
Syn showed with a tail too and was very much the comedian in the ring
from all the laughter outside of it when she decided to eat her lead half way
around the ring the first time and then decided she had enough of the whole thing
the second time and sat down and refused to move!
Thanks Chris for helping
me with this fireball! :)
Libby (CH Temora Maid in America) was
with me as well and I handed her over, after many many tears to her new owner
- Leslie Hoy. I will miss my 'Libmeister' as we have called her, but after meeting
Leslie and all her wonderful Westie friends who were there to show, I KNOW she
is where she belongs.
Thank You Leslie, I have made a wonderful new friend!

Paris
has arrived safely in the UK and is with Sheila and is no worse for wear. I worried
about her the entire trip, part of the rules of the Parent Policy Handbook given
to everyone when they have kids or get a dog. I keep telling my kids about the
book that is given to all new parents when their kids are born, it talks about
how Parents, per the handbook are to: worry, fuss, panic, get frantic, fret etc
etc over everything they do. They keep asking to see this book, I keep telling
them that it is only for parents, not for kids. The book applies to dogs as well!
I will admit I probably go overboard, but heck, all part of being a parent/dog
owner!

PARIS
IS OFF TO SCOTLAND!!
Paris has left today to go spend a year
with Sheila Stoddart and the Millvalley dogs. She will compete to get titled in
the UK and I hope to go to England next year for Crufts and see her there.
I
will miss her dearly, but she will be back in 2011!!
Watch for news of her
as I get information from Sheila.
I am sure Rufus will show her the ropes and
take her sightseeing the many castles and have her try the local ale. I have a
feeling she will be picking up a 'Scottish' accent while there and come back quite
spoiled!

We
have been fostering a Welsh Springer Spaniel named Teddy that needs a home. He
is a 4 year old neutered male, would do best in a home with a retired person/couple
with no 'young' kids. He is a really cool dog and a very personable one, but he
does have a few quirks to him that he would not be the best pet with someone with
young kids, but would be ok with older kids. Email me if you would like more details.
His adoption fee will be turned over to the Welsh Springer Spaniel Rescue. He
adores Paris's puppies and watches over them everytime they are roaming around
the kitchen. You can see his head in quite a few of the puppy photos as he checks
out each one.

Trip to Finland and Estonia!
I went to Finland and Estonia
to pick up Syn, she is my Bully's (CH Temora Bully For You)
Great Grandaughter.
It
was an easy trip and my friend Erja picked me up at the Helsinki airport on Friday
and we went back to her home where a much needed nap was taken!
Kari, Erja
and I left for Estonia on Friday evening. We took the ferry and it was fun in
the bar where we had drinks and listened to music and ate at the buffet. I purchased
the famous Karl Frazer Finnish Chocolate for my kids (Danielle loves the stuff!)
and once we got to Estonia, we took a cab to the hotel. We all went right to bed
as it was about 12:00am at that point and we had to get up early for the dog show.
In
the morning, we met down at the breakfast area and I met up with Anne, Anna and
Mari. It was an emotional reunion as Anne and I have been friends now for some
time. I gave her Sirens AKC Championship certificate which started her crying.
She did much of that over the weekend. I told her to take a roll of toilet paper
from the hotel room so she would not use Anna's as she had a cold and needed her
toilet paper! :):)
We went to the show and I met Syn and her Breeder Anne-Lii
(way to many Ann's!). She was a very happy puppy, very well socialized and confident
in herself, a great testament to Anne-Lii's care of her!
Syn was entered in
the show that day as a puppy (it was a Terrier Specialty show) we were the only
Aussie puppy entered and she went into the Puppy Group and she won a Best Puppy-3!
She showed very well and considering she had no idea who I was, she did wonderful
with me! Anne-Lii brought Missy, Syns dam over,
she is a beautiful daughter
of my Yankee (Temora's American Express). Very feminine and balanced. She will
be going to Crufts this year to be shown.
After the show we went back to the
hotel and had dinner and then went to the Piano bar for drinks. It was nice and
relaxing and it was a good time among friends.
The next day we were out for
a bit of shopping and back to the dog show. I purchased a few things and at the
show, got a new collar and leash for Syn and a few toys for her as well.
We
watched the show and afterwards we headed back to the ferry to get the ride back
to Finland. I used the last of my Estonia crowns to purchase more chocolate for
my kids and we were entertained by Syn as she played with other dogs on the ship
and all the kids that came by and to say hello. She was very popular!
I stayed
in a hotel Sunday night as I left so early in the morning.
It was a short trip
as usual, but much fun and a HUGE Thank you to Erja, Kari, Anne, Anna, Anne-Lii
and Mari for a wonderful trip!
Thank you to Anne-Lii for entrusting me with
Syn, she has already bonded with all the dogs here and she and Mac have become
very good buddies.

Rufus
is on his way home!
While Rufus was here, he gained his American AKC Championship,
which made him the FIRST EVER
UK/AM CH Australian Terrier. He started by getting
a 5 point major the weekend of our National Specialty in May and finished his
Championship with a 3 point major at the Prestigious Montgomery Cluster shows
in October.
Rufus sired 4 litters while here, totaling 28 puppies
Of those
28 puppies, some will be shown this year and probably next and I am sure we will
all be hearing great things about them as he has passed on some beautiful traits
to his offspring. All in all, he has definitely enhanced my breeding program and
I am sure the Millvalley-Temora relationship will continue to produce great puppies
worthy of both our kennel names.
A HUGE Thank you to his Breeder - Sheila Stoddart-Millvalley
Australian Terriers for loaning him to me for the year, we have become good
friends and again, this is just the beginning of a great partnership.

Well,
Arrangements are being made to send Rufus home to his mum. Very extensive paperwork
to ship a dog to England. Luckily he already has a Pet Passport which makes everything
much easier.
Rufus will be home on February 11th, the same day I leave for
Finland to pick up Syn.
Never dull around here!
Paris's puppies are doing
very well, getting very fat, they look like mini hamsters right now. Leslie's
litter with Teddi also sired by Rufus are also very fat, they look more like guinea
pigs :)

had her puppies today, 6 boys and 2 girls, Thanks Rufus for all the boys!
4
of the boys are red, the rest of the puppies, including the girls are blue/tan
One
red boy was not breathing and had to give him CPR, after about 20 minutes, he
came around and is now nursing. Kinda worried about him for a while, but he is
holding his own.
Can't miss him, he has a HUGE splash of white on his chest
Yes,
we DO give CPR to puppies!
Traumatic morning, but as of this afternoon, mom
and babies are doing well

This
coming weekend we will be getting in a Welsh Springer Spaniel Rescue. We have
had a Welshie before in the past (see the 'about us/Jim & Hunting dogs page'),
and during a meeting at the Waukesha Kennel Club, the President made a comment
that she needed a Foster home for a 4 year old neutered male. So I volunteered
as my Aussie Rescues are all placed at the moment so we have room. Jim is all
excited that I am taking in something else other than an aussie!:) He does not
mind the aussies, and actually likes helping, but he loves Welsh Springer Spaniels
and still misses Ike to this day.

HAPPY
NEW YEAR!
Another year has come and gone.
Piffin is now with his new family
and doing well. I miss him terribly, but right now I am taking care of Sammie,
another rescue that had legg perthes surgery. He is healing well and will be going
to his new home in a couple weeks. He will need therapy for his leg and that will
be set up with his new owner.
Paris is due to have her puppies on or around
January 22nd. She is very big and already uncomfortable. She keeps crawling under
the bed. She is going to get to the point where she can not get under there, but
right now she is ok.
Here is to the New Year and hopeful success in the ring
with the next generation of Temora puppies!
