(this score was taken at 5 years old)

Height @ shoulder: 26"

Weight: 50kg

Blue/tan Long coat

Nuka: African

Meaning: Elephant

Nuka was one of my foundation bitches & was really the start of my breeding program along with Zeeker, Bear, Morgan & Aura.  She is a large girl with doggie looks & lots of bone. She produced some wonderful puppies although she never reproduced herself in size and looks she certainly produced her wonderful temperament & laid back disposition.  

Nuka continues to look after the babies as they arrive the fact that she has not given birth to them does not seem to deter her from her duties, she will take on any babies with as much enthusiasm as she had with her own.

Nuka is my shadow she wants to be by my side at all times she sleeps by my bed at night & is constantly at my feet.  She has always been mommies girl & is happiest when she is near me she hates it when I am out of site.

She is a special part of our family and will continue to live with us in her retirement as our friend & companion, our lives would not have been the same without Nuka in it.

Zeeker

Rushlands Spirit of fire

05/08/04

Hip Score: 6/7

Height @ shoulder 27"

Weight: 45 kg

Blue Sable Long Coat

Zeeker is a shortened version of the Native American Indian Tribe Wazeeker

Zeeker was another of my foundation bitches, to me she has looks to die for & a temperament to match.   Zeeker is a diva through & through, & as far as she is concerned no other dog exists if she is about.  

She is large boned and her coat although not extremely long is very dense. 

Although she is very affectionate she is extremely independent & can be quite mischievous, she certainly keeps you on your toes but that is what makes her Zeeker & we all love her for it. Zeeker is an exhibitionist & enjoys nothing better than showing off to an audience.

Zeeker produced  some stunning babies who seem to have inherited her good looks and some of her diva ways.  Zeeker has now retired & again will remain with us in her retirement.

Morgan

Morgan Airbourne At Clearskies

07/03/04

Hip Score: 2/3

Height @ shoulder: 24"

Weight: 38 kg

White Long Coat

Morgan is another of my foundation girls & sister to Bear, unlike her brother she is very energetic and likes to be centre of attention at all times & is definitely an alpha bitch.

She is very loving and enjoys cuddles from the family, but likes to get to know new people before she will share cuddles with them as she takes her role as family protector very seriously and has chased an armed robber off our property in the past to protect my young daughter.

She does not like competition from other females but is a real hussy with the males & is very gentle & caring with the puppies who ever they belong to.

Morgan masks golden sable and has had 4 lovely litters for us all carrying her intelligence and eagerness to learn.  Quite a few of her babies have excelled in obedience and agility. 

Morgan has now retired and enjoys her days as a pet only although I do not think she is ready to give up the guarding duties yet.

Aura

Hip Score: 4/2

Height @ shoulder: 24"

Weight: 40kg

White Long coat

Aura is another of my foundation girls, she is very loving and has an exceedingly lively attitude to life.  Unfortunately her ear was damaged as a puppy whilst playing with her kennel mate, the ear dropped and has never come up again.  This had no affect on her offspring as it is not hereditary all her puppies have very good ear carriage.

Aura loves people and being cuddled she is a real sweetheart.  She is very gentle with the babies and will mother everyone else's without any encouragement.  She can be a little over zealous with some of the other girls but loves the boys although she still likes to be boss.

Unlike most of our dogs who are right posers, Aura is camera shy hence we have always had problems getting good pictures of her for every 100 we take we may get one or two good ones.  However we keep persevering and every now and again a good one pops up.

  Aura always produced stunning puppies with good bone and excellent gentle loving temperaments like their mom.

Now she has retired she will remain here with us as our pet and no doubt still have an influence on future puppies.

Shamu

Shamu: Native American Indian Princess

Shamu is extremely affectionate with people and other dogs but can be a little aloof with strangers until she gets to know them, then she is your friend for life.

She can be a little cheeky & mischievous at times but in a nice way which gives us all a giggle.  She is very laid back and tends to have 5 minutes exertion then lie down and watch everyone else.

Shamu is a really gentle, quiet girl who loves nothing more than cuddles and kisses.  She really is a sweetie and attracts attention from all our visitors without even trying.  She gets on with all the other dogs and just loves all the puppies who ever they belong to.

She has been an excellent mommy producing very sweet laid back puppies with a sweet disposition. She produced three lovely litters for us & now remains as our much loved pet.

Hip Score: 8/9

Height @ shoulder: 24"

Nacoma: Native American Indian Princess

Nacoma is a cheeky madam, she is very mischievous & is always keeping us on our toes, she will often creep up & pinch your hat off your head or run off with the broom or grooming brushes & then parade around waiting for us to tell her how clever she is, in fact I think she just loves to parade. She is also very loving & enjoys a cuddle.

Nacoma just loves to play she has a never ending supply of energy & is always looking for a willing volunteer.

She had her final litter in 2011 producing just three stunning little girls.  She is now retired & lives in with us is still parading with things she can find that she likes usually the cat toys or a cuddly.
