Sinbad today... Sinbad today is a well balanced moderate dog of 4.5 years of age.
He has just a few points to go to be awarder Australian Grand Champion Status. He is a wonderful loyal companion and sleeps on the floor beside my bed (on a soft mat of cause). On various nights some of the others come and go from side to side or sleep nearby but Sinbad is always right there as close as he can get! I should not have favorites but it's amazing how loyalty is the most endearing of all traits (with dogs or people)
Sinbad has a very handsome and expressive head and face. He is easy to live with and a delight to show in the ring. He is naturally "showy" and mostly stacks himself. His movement is also very true to the breed ideal. He has been a consistent winner in the ring becoming an Australian Champion at an early age and is now well on his way to Grand Champion. |

By 26 months of age Sinbad was developing very nicely and it was becoming obvious that he was a nicely rounded, balanced dog with a love of the show ring to go with it |

Sinbad sure-footed and adventurous at 8 weeks |
Lead training begins at 8 weeks |

Training starts at 10 weeks... Right from the beginning Sinbad took to being stacked and was cooperative and loved the attention. Right from the begriming Sinbad took to being stacked and was cooperative and loved the attention. From early on he started winning baby puppy class and seemed to enjoy the time together with us at the shows and was keen to go into the ring when it was his turn.
And there is nothing like a raw meaty bone as a reward for a job well done |

Going to dog shows can have its advantages...
We were able to take the dogs to the beach each evening for two weeks during the Southern Circuit (Bega area) dog show circuit!
