Over the Rainbow Bridge

Schwartzhund Rottweilers Past

Every dog here shaped our lines, our knowledge and our love of the breed. They are remembered with enormous gratitude.

Involved with, owned and loved Rottweilers since 1987 — these are the dogs who taught us, travelled with us and left paw prints on everything the Schwartzhund prefix stands for today.

Kairo

from 1987

Our family's first pedigree Rottweiler bitch, and the start of the whole learning curve. Everything that followed under the Schwartzhund prefix began with her.

Luke

whelped 20/07/1989

One of Kairo's puppies and our first exposure to the dog world. Excellent at obedience, though temperament was unfortunately not his best attribute. Put to rest at just over 18 months of age — and the reason excellent temperament has sat at the top of our list ever since.

Duke

Muirnliegh Pontiac (ET)

whelped 24/12/1990

Bred by Kaye and Wayne Frick. Temperament: excellent. Conformation: not so excellent — but better than some. With hard work and perseverance Duke gained his Championship title at almost four years of age, and taught us a great deal along the way.

Aggi

Blackcombe The Chatterbox

whelped 22/10/1991

At 15 months Aggi ruptured a cruciate ligament, and five weeks after surgery — just when things were looking good — the other one went. Putting her to sleep remains one of the hardest decisions I have had to make, but it was the right one. Missed forever.

Tilly

Heatherglen Ulla ET

whelped 10/04/1993

Given to me by Doug Mummery of Heatherglen Kennels after the loss of Aggi — "you have to have a dog, it will help you mend." A wise man. Tilly became the foundation of my breeding, and her faults were carefully answered through sires chosen with the help of Robyn Rogers (Smyth) of Muzairib Rottweilers.

Sheri

Blackcombe Violet

01/04/1994 – 2007

Sheri lived with our very good friends Kathy, Rob, Kelly and Jasmine Willson, as she and Tilly did not see eye to eye. She shared a kennel with Monty, Muzairib Urban Cowboy, and was thoroughly loved.

Cashel

Aust Ch Schwartzhund Cashel CD ET BH

whelped 14/03/1995

The first born under the Schwartzhund prefix — Puppy in Show at the 1996 Rottweiler National, over 400 challenge points, and CD, ET and BH titles to her name. A bitch with a beautiful demeanour who loved to please, and the most enjoyable girl to work. Cashel was, and always will be, My Girl — loved and missed forever.
