October 2024 - in Tasmania
Replay and Kracka make Australian history in Tasmania!!
​
Replay's short holiday in Tasmania with friends Cassie Leppard & Sharon Frankcombe (who own Kracka) has resulted in some Australian winning records for Miniature American Shepherds in this country.
​
Replay is the first MAS to be awarded a Best in Group (and he did it TWICE)
and he is also the first MAS to be awarded R/Up in Show
​
But not to be outdone, son "Kracka" Diamondmas French Connection is also the first MAS to win a Class in Show at a Royal which he did at the Royal Launceston Show winning best Baby Puppy in Show.
​
Kracka to date has won an impressive 8 x Baby in Group and 4 x Baby in Show. No doubt the grooming, training, presentation and exhibiting with Cassie has played an enormous part in this success but I also have to acknowledge the breeder of these lines in France, Nathalie from Du Bois Des Ternes kennels who also made this possible.
​
Judge Ms Olga Meyer (WA) awarded Replay (above L) Best in Group and R/Up Best in Show. Kracka also took out Best Baby in Show (above R) with owner Cassie at the Combined Breeds Dog Club of Tasmania AM show on 27/10/24.
​
Below L is Replay and Cassie winning Best in Group under Judge Ms Louise Dorr (Qld) at the Tasmanian Ladies Kennel Club on 20/10/24 and son Kracka winning Best Baby in Show at the Royal Launceston Show with judge Mr Simon Sim (Philippines). All of these wins are firsts for the breed in Australia.
