“AUSTRAIAN CHAMPION”
Heidi is now Aust Ch Tristania Heilyn
after gaining her final Championship
points at the Casino Kennel Club show
at Kyogle on 5th March. She is not two
years old until the end of April this
year. Heidi was also awarded Best
Australian Bred in the Working Dog
Group at that show. Heidi has had
quite a few “runners” to gain her final
points since I damaged my hamstring
late last year – so a huge thank you to
all her runners. I really appreciate your
help.

“OUT AND ABOUT”
She's never been to Grafton TAFE, but Evie says "Hurry up and follow me Mum, you have a job to
do and I have people to meet and greet...!"
Don't worry about her saying you're fat; I loves ya jest the way you are.
“WINNER OF WINNERS”
OES, Sup Ch Hartwyn Royal Zenith CDX proved his versatility at Sydney Royal this year winning
the Open Obedience ring and followed with Winner of Winners Obedience to win Best in Trial. In
the conformation ring he won 1st place in Australian Bred Dog and received the reserve
challenge. This qualified him for the Jack Goldstein Gold Medal for excellence in Obedience &
Conformation at a single Sydney Royal.
Zen will be the 3rd individual Jack Goldstein Gold Medal winner for Hartwyn bred Old English
Sheepdogs after Rumour, who won four gold, and Zen’s litter sister Zulu, owned and handled by
Pauline Hartwell, who has also won one.
Hartwyn OES have won a total of 9 Jack Goldstein medals including silver & bronze. We went to
Sydney hoping to make it a round 10 for Hartwyn, any colour would have been fine.
Zen & Zulu winning one each means that the only 2 pups I produced from Bliss (Gr Ch Hartwyn
Royal Treason CDX) have gone on to be Best in All Breed Show Winners, Champions and Jack
Goldstein gold medal winners - 100% of the litter. In Zen’s case a Supreme Champion. Am I
proud of that?........just a wee bit, does it show?.
After a long afternoon and into
the evening, obedience at the
Sydney Royal is finished. Zen
won Open Obedience with a
score of 195/200. Then went on
to win Winner of Winners after
finishing in 1st place in Open.
A huge congratulations to Phil
and Zen and Hartwyn Kennels.
An outstanding achievement!
Not just a pretty face – Zen
that is!!!!

“VALE FINN”
It is with many tears in our eyes that Bert, Michele and Ceugant Beagles announce the passing of
our lovable larrikin Grd Ch. Ceugant Dillan, better known to his friends as "Finn". "Finn" who was
14 years and 4 mths was put to sleep recently after being diagnosed with an inoperable spinal
tumor. He was a great show boy and gave us many enjoyable times, but most of all he was our
best mate. RIP our beautiful Boy.
After this temper tantrum, he would always come
with us when we went to a show.
The Handsome "Finn", winner of 3 NSW
Specialties and Runner up in another.
Winner of 1 Qld Specialty.
Loved by everyone.
Still had his favourite toy.
This picture taken last year.
“VALE RINGO”
On 26th February we lost our beautiful red dog Ringo... He was our protector and the very best
friend any girl could have hoped for. He may have been a rescue puppy, but we know without a
doubt who the rescuer was! 15 years was not enough, but he did well reaching 105 dog years. He
will forever be in our hearts. Good boy, Ringo, good boy.
