Puppies ............................the next generation carries the tradition into the future.
On 5th July 2006 Caileag (Coralfern Caileag Caraid) became the proud mother of 8 girls sired by Sean (Ch Clachtoll Sean). These girls have been a delightful litter and are placed in caring homes around the country. Two of the girls, Abbey and Faith, have stayed with us at Anduril and Abbey has already attained her Australian Championship title in the show ring and was also Top National Deerhound Puppy 2007 on the Dogzonline Point Score. We put a lot of time and effort into our pups so we need to be assured that you can continue to provide them with a safe, secure and caring environment before we will be willing to consider you as one of our prospective puppy owners. These girls have gone to people who will be dedicated to managing the emotional and physical well being of this special breed.
On 21st September 2007 Caileag (Coralfern Caileag Caraid) again safely delivered two girls sired this time by Aust Grand Ch Bhealaich Gotta Luv Me (Scraps). Scrappy is now the top winning Deerhound of all time in Australia - an amazing achievement for such a young Deerhound. The girls (Aust Ch Anduril Ravenscraig and Anduril Ailsa Craig) are both progressing very well. Ailsa has stayed with us at Anduril and her sister Raven is living with her dad (Scraps) and his family in Canberra. At just twelve months old Raven secured her Australian Championship title and at fourteen months she has won Best in Group and Runner Up in Group awards at Championship Show level. Raven will be the top Deerhound Puppy and Top Deerhound Bitch in Australia for 2008 under the Dogzonline Pointscoring system and National Dog system. She is owned, loved and professionally handled by Melanie Buckley of Fyrth Kennels in the ACT. We are very proud of both of these girls and it is special to have one living with their mum and one with their dad! We are very grateful to Melanie for allowing us to use Scraps and we strongly value her support of our breeding program. We sincerely congratulate Melanie on her multiple achievements in 2008 with both Raven and Scrappy and look forward to seeing her success in 2009 which has already started exceptionally well!!
On 19th January 2009 Faith (Anduril Greyfriars Faith) safely delivered her first litter of 13 pups - 8 boys and 5 girls sired by Aust Ch Mapleridge Jeremy. We are very impressed with her devotion and dedication to her pups both through their natural birth and in her constant attention in rearing them. Most of these puppies have already gone to their new homes and a few will stay here with us at Anduril. The puppy profiles are available on our Anduril male and female pages. While most of this litter are already placed around the country, we have a couple available to suitable approved homes. One of the puppies from this litter Anduril Usquabae Barleycorn (Angus) owned by Rob McDougal in ACT went to his first show in August 2009 and took Minor Puppy in Show from his first outing - expertly handled by Melanie Buckley.
We sometimes have an adult that we would consider placing into a loving home. Adult dogs are always desexed before leaving Anduril and potential owners would need to meet all of our usual criteria for puppy ownership. At this stage our next litter is planned for the first half of 2010.
If you are looking for a Deerhound puppy we are happy to chat to you and explain our requirements of puppy owners. We also recommend you contact the Secretary of the Deerhound Club of Victoria, Deborah Guthrie on (03) 97197277. Deborah has a wealth of knowledge about the breed and can advise you of any litters available. We recommend our puppy owners join the club. If you are considering this breed we believe this is a good way to inform yourself before you choose your kennel/puppy.
