I first became interested in this breed in the early nineties, due in no small part to the success of the Amalek kennels belonging to my good friends Mary and Roy Wilson, who have worked so hard to improve the health and soundness of this native British breed.
Having followed their dogs with great interest my first ETT arrived in 1998, "Ten" my constant companion and lord of all he surveys.
Over the following years we have had success in the show ring on our limited outings, and with dogs bred here or from this line, whose careers I follow with great interest and pride!
As with all my dogs, health and temperament take top priority with all of my potential breeding dogs being tested, and X rayed for Patella Luxation.
Tanner
Champion Amalek My Boy Bill
Owned ,loved and campaigned by Carol Snell of MORETONIA show dogs, Tanner was born and bred here at Curnix, he is litter brother to Free - Amalek Born Free at Curnix, and Harry who is a qualified working Hearing dog for the Deaf.
I am equally proud of all of this fabulous litter!!
Free was a very consistant winner at Championship Shows, including Crufts !
She took many Best of Breeds and Group places at open shows.
She spent many hours 'working' as a hospital visitor, along with her daughter Reta, where they were very popular with both staff and patients!
Free has excelled herself as a brood bitch, producing some stunning puppies both for myself and the WITCHSTONE kennel.
She is now enjoying her retirement in the luxury she deserves, as an adored pet.
