Glendon Percy X Woorivale Spice

Percy is a young dog belonging to Chris Rickert, Clifton. He’s a very good dog on cattle and has also penned in Arena trials. Chris does a lot of mustering in tough country, goats, sheep and cattle. Percy is outstanding in this role with plenty of stamina and dedication.

Percy is by Koomalah’s Ted (Koomalah’s BasilXGraewoodglen Rita). Known as ‘Sir Ted’ to his owners Cate and Karl at the Glendon stud, he has been top dog there for many years. Percy’s dam is Karana Cath (Milburn BasilXUD Scarlett).

Koomalah’s Basil( Wyreema JocketteXRiana Spider) was a good old dog bred by Arthur Crumblin who still speaks of his Wyreema sire as one of the best dogs he’s owned.

These pups should be extra handy on both sheep and cattle, IB 6.7%.

Litter born Oct.12, 1 red/tan dog, 1 black/tan dog, 3 black/tan bitches.

RECENT LITTERS

Falcon Dart X Karmala Lyddy

Litter born 23/7/08

4 red/tan bitches
1 red/tan dog

Pedigree cam be emailed on request. Lyddy and Dart are both naturally correct dogs that have had minimal training, but are useful, efficient workers. This is a first mating and pups are $500.

This litter is has an I.B. of 8%. I expect an even litter of quality pups capable of working sheep or cattle. Dart has an I.B. of 20.2% and is by a good old Riana dog, R.Bounty, who was a son of Driftwood Clyde. Dart’s homo.% to D.Clyde is 6.3.
R.Quinn appears on both sides of this pedigree, through R.Jewell and R.Bula.

Lyddy was a maiden bitch and she was rather surprised when these pups turned up. Surprisingly, they all survived her rather clumsy and frantic early attention and are now doing very well indeed. The weather has been absolutely freezing, but they are putting on weight and growing quickly. All pups have been placed.

Riana GlideX Riana Quill 11 due 24/7/08

Pups born 27/7/08
1 B/T bitch
1 R/T dog
1fawn dog
1B/T dog

This litter was planned to maximise the influence of Riana Quinn, who has been a very good old brood bitch. I wouldn’t breed so closely unless it was for a specific reason, and these pups will followed carefully. The litter has been placed.

The I.B. for the litter is 26.5% and the homozygosity index for Quinn is 12.5%

I believe the bitch line is of great importance in breeding and will be watching these pups carefully. The mating is only feasible because of the care taken at Riana over the years to cull heavily for unwanted traits.

...and a week later, doing very well.

Riana Delta Dawn X Tracker ‘The Chief’

All black and tan, 5 dogs, 1 bitch

The Chief is a nice young dog by Riana GlideX Pud’s Sookie.

This mating has a 16.9 inbreeding index concentrating on Driftwood Clyde blood, the small outcross away from Riana is intended to add a little calmness and strength. These pups should work cattle and sheep.
K.Benje from this litter is going to Slovakia. Other sales have been to Mundubbera Q, Linton V, Killarney Q, Rockhampton Q and Milburn Stud, Cowra NSW.

Delta’s last litter to Karmala Spike included some outstanding pups. K.Swaggy is with Arthur Crumlin who is pleased with his progress.

Karrawarra Gift to Riana Glide

Gift whelped 14/2/08, 8 pups, all placed

5 black/tan bitches
2 black/tan dogs
1 cream dog

The first time Gift was mated to Glide I wrote here:
This is an interesting outcross mating of dogs from two old Kelpie studs where line breeding has been utilised for many years.
Glide has an IB index of 20.5% and Gift of 13.7%. Both dogs have bred well in both line bred and outcross matings and are of similar work type.
Pups are expected to be good mustering types with sufficient strength for closer work.

This proved an excellent mating and Gift has been mated to Glide three times. Pups continue to impress, and are some of the best I have bred.

An outcross mating that was very successful… Glide and Gift are alike in work style, which is probably one of the most important ingredients for a successful mating.
