Achievements:

We proudly welcomed Cruz to Braemist in Jan 2022. 

Hugest thanks to Christine and Kate Baker for allowing Cruz to come to me in N.Z. He is everything I could have dreamed of, and more.

 I saw his beautiful grandmother at Crufts a few years earlier and knew her daughter had come to Aust. It was a dream of mine to have a puppy from this line.

Cruz had had one show in Aust before leaving to come over for a Baby Puppy in Show (Ch Show, All Breeds). Just a few days after arriving he added another 3 Baby Puppy in Show awards at Collie Specialty shows.

He was then not shown again until he was over 12 mths because of Covid restrictions, and then no shows in our area.  

He gained his eight CC's for the title of Champion in just nine shows, with a group award.

STOP PRESS: 14/10/23  Cruz's first shows back after a 8 month break due to coat drop showed what I always knew about this boy.

Dog CC, Best of Breed, BEST OF GROUP (Group 1), and Intermediate of Group under a Sheltie Specialist. Also Intermediate of Group at the second show. (Best of Group at this show going to his kennel mate Riot) 

Next weekend of shows Cruz is awarded two more Intermediate of Group awards.

Cruz's first long awaited babies were born on 9/4/24. The dam is our lovely Fanta. From this I have retained a sable boy "Oreo" and a tricolour girl "Ebony". Watch for them in the ring soon!
