Our Dogs

Cally (Callisto) was our first Swedish Vallhund and arrived on in Wellington on Christmas Eve 2005 as a present for Greg. She won our hearts immediately and is a wonderful, intelligent and loving friend. Initially we bought Cally as a pet but after spending time with her we decided it would be great to have a litter by her. Rose, of Valkrista Kennels who had bred Cally was happy for us to use her dog, Wallaby - Aus & NZ Champion Leesway Man About Town

Cally has had 3 litters –

2006 - 7 pups

2008 – 8 pups

2009 – 1 pup

The first litter she delivered all by herself while we slept! She is a fantastic mum and has coped well with large litters!

Cally is also very good at obedience work - she won Elementary 2 at her first major Obedience Competition in May 09, in Wellington with 95% so will now go on to compete in the Special Beginners Class! Watching her listening for the commands you can tell that she is really enjoying herself and she has a wonderful rapport with Greg who owns and trains her.

We bought Sirius as a playmate for Cally when she was a year old and before we decided to become breeders. As they had the same sire we therefore had Sirius neutered. He has a very gentle nature & is a great ambassador for the breed and helped raise the first litter once they were mobile.

Tessan joined our team in October 2008. We have been showing her over the last year and half and she is now a NZ Champion - 24th May 09. We are planning to breed from Tessan in 2010. She has a wonderful nature & loves to "frap" - race around full of the joy of life! She was a great playmate/nanny for our 2008 litter and is enjoying having playtime with our latest little pup, Bobbie.

Not to be forgotten is Jed who thinks he’s a Vallhund & is colour coordinated with them! He was not quite a year old when our second litter was born & he tolerated them climbing all over him – when he had had enough he would jump over the top of them and find a high spot out of reach to sit & watch them. Jedi is pictured here with Tessan.
