Champion Chelport Mr Natural "George" Sire: Gowheath Timidus Dam: Leisureview Lilli Melody (lived to 15 years)     29 Jan 1992 - 30 Jan 2006 (14 years) Heart: Grade II murmur at 9 yrs 9 mths 3 Nov 2001 Eyes: Lifetime clearance of hereditary defects   by veterinary opthalmologist 3 Nov 2001 Hip Scored (AVA)

George was born undersize, but grew into an elegant sound-moving dog. He gave me my first real taste of success in the show ring, with a number of in Group and Breed awards. On November 20, 1994, he became the first ever SA bred Black and Tan dog to gain its championship title in this State. George produced several litters for me and for others, and is behind everything I show today. George lived a grand life, smattered with chocolate cake and love aplenty. He passed away one day after his fourteenth birthday - a very sad day at Chelport, for he was my soul mate and the keeper of my heart.

Champion Selcarim Black Silk "Bailey" Sire: Ch Leisureview Black Duglas Dam: Selcarim Come True 12 June 93 - 09 Dec 2002 Hip Scored (AVA) Bred by: M Ison (NSW)

Bailey had a wonderful start to her show career, winning her class at her first 12 shows. She delighted me with Baby in Group and R/Up Baby in Show (all breeds champ show) under breed specialists Denis Montford ("Braganzar") and Alan Goodwin ("Vauntifiere"). Later she won Puppy in Show at the Toy Dog Club's Championship Show. On October 1, 1995, Bailey became the first ever Black and Tan to win Best Exhibit in Group at an all breeds championship show in SA. She was also the first wholecolour bitch to do so. The following day, she won Runner Up in Group, an award which she later repeated under specialist Dianne Tyssen ("Prestonville" NZ). Bailey was a wonderful ambassador for wholecolours in South Australia, attracting the attention of many with her stunning head, spritely, free-flowing movement, happy disposition, and long, glamorous coat of correct texture. 

Bailey moved on to the Rainbow Bridge in December 2002....
