We are based just outside Taree on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, approximately 3½ hours north of Sydney. The area encompasses lovely beaches as well as peaceful rural hinterland.
Afghan Hounds have been apart of our lives for over 36 years. All of our Afghans are dual purpose - much loved family members, and animals that we exhibit at conformation shows, which we have been doing since 1982. The first show Afghan we bought was "Weetoneon Rembrandt" (Ben), from our dear friend Avril Lacey. We went back to the Weetoneon kennel for another 3 males and 2 bitches, some of which are still in our current stocks pedigree today.
Although we have been showing Afghan Hounds for over 25 years we only started our breeding program in 1988. In September 2001 we moved from the UK to Australia, bringing with us 5 Afghans, 3 males and 2 bitches.
The litter bred under the prefix TICOMA is bred by us, in partnership with Maria Niedzwiedz in the UK
In the UK we also had Japanese Shiba Inu's, our first being Japanese Import "Nakayu Go Kazusa Nakanosow" (Icky), he was imported from Japan in 1997. We only brought the Afghans with us to Australia, we gave Icky to Liz Dunhill of the Vormund & Fantasia Kennel in the UK, as she wished to use him further in her breeding program.
We hope you enjoy visiting our much loved dogs, and would love to hear from you - Lesley, Alister & Dawn.
