Breeder Listings
Prefix : CHARIZELLE (Dalmatian)
I have been involved with Dalmatians since 1992. My initial stock was a mixture of South African, UK and American lines. After moving to New Zealand, I imported a bitch from Carol Immelman's well known Dallmalli kennel in South Africa, NZ Ch Dallmalli Don't Mind Me at Charizelle and she has been the new foundation for my line since 2003. I strive to breed Dalmatians with their initial purpose in mind - that of an endurance athlete. Dalmatians should be able to run for long distances at an easy, light and economical pace and should be easily identified by their typically evenly spaced spotting. Even though they were also used as guard dogs for the carriages and have a protective nature, they should have a very friendly and outgoing disposition with people.
Next Litter Planned: Unknown
Prefix : CHARIZELLE (Parson Russell Terrier)
I have been involved with Parson Russell Terriers since 1995. My foundation stock is all from the UK and include some very old and influential bloodlines for example Howlbeck, Hoelio and Ridley. I have dogs with all 3 coat types and pride myself on the exceptional quality of my smooth coat dogs. All my breeding stock are BAER hearing tested, eye checked including DNA testing for PLL, DNA tested for LOA and SCA and many of my foundation dogs have been hip/elbow scored. We strive to breed terriers true to breed type with sound conformation and good temperament.
Next Litter Planned: Unknown
Prefix : SNOWOLF (Siberian Husky)
My interest in this breed started way back in 1996 when I bought my first Siberian Husky. After emigrating to NZ I became involved with the breed again and got another Siberian bred by Kiriay Kennels and I subsequently registered the Snowolf affix. I strive to breed Siberian Huskies which are true to breed type with their initial purpose in mind - that of a long distance runner carrying a light load in the snow. I'm particularly proud of my success at breed Specialty shows in both dogs and bitches and I have bred and own the only 2 NZ Specialty Grand Champion titled siberian huskies - DaVinci and Cheeky.
My kennel partner Laura Simpson is the trainer and musher for the race part of our kennel fondly known as Team Red. Laura began as a puppy owner when she purchased a gorgeous red bitch called Tikaani back in 2008 and found her passion out on the trail. Laura has competitively raced anything from single dog scooter through a successful 6 dog rig team. We have recently titled our first dual champion show & race dog with many others having their SD and SDX plus show champion titles. Laura has also competed in various distance sled events both dryland and snow and was the most successful pedigree Siberian distance team in 2022.
