We are proud to announce the Animal is now retired from stud.

​

Animal stands at 12 3/4 inches at the wither (32.5cm) and has a correct scissor bite. He has a current ACES-ANKC eye certificate stating that his eyes are normal and clear of PRA, he is due to be re-tested in 2016.

 

Animal has been DNA Profiled and his parentage has been proven on his mother's side.

 

He became an Australian Champion with very limited showing. Shortly after he was in minor puppy class, his handler Devon became very ill during her pregnancy and therefore had to withdraw him from the ring until after she had her son. Since coming back he has won some impressive challenges and best of breeds against strong competition in the dog challenge line up.

 

His temprement is amazing, he shows a patience and softness with children that is more than admirable and is highly tractable in training.

 

Half of his progeny are being shown,  every puppy of his that is able, has taken challenges and some have even beaten him to their titles, 6 of them are now titled in their country of residence. 5 out of 6 have won classes in group and 4 have gone on to in show, wowing international and local judges alike.

 

Grandchildren of Animal are highly regarded having taken out Best In Show and Runner Up Best In Show at all breeds and semi specialty shows.

 

Exceptionally impressive resume for a dog that is still so young! Animal is well on his way to becoming one of the most distinguished Lowchen sire Australia has seen.

 

His progeny (children) have taken large awards such as;
