Theldaroy Kennels has been in operation since about 1970. Col started with Welsh Corgi Pembrokes and moved to Siberian Huskies in the mid to late 80's. The first Siberians were purchased from Garth and Bea Goodwin and were very successful in the show ring having won many groups, and in show awards along with Royal challenges.
Our current show dogs are very different to those we started with, we will not forget the impact the initial dogs had on our kennels.
After meeting and getting together in the mid 90's we had a complete change when we introduced some new Siberians to our kennel. At that time Col started sled racing with the Siberians, this he has managed to do quite competitively along with being successful in the show ring with the same dogs.
Croodle Toy Poodles came into existence in the mid 90's with a change of state for me. I have been very happy with my wins in the ring and have shown that colours can win too. I have been able to manage many classes in show, group and best in group awards with these little guys. I too, cannot forget the impact of my initial girls had on my breeding program and am thankful for what they have offered to the breed.
Since getting married, Croodle Poodles is now extinct and we have the introduction of the new Theldaroy Clan. This now includes our newly imported Finnish Lapphunds, who are settling into their new home. The Finnish Lapphund will be our primary breed, though we will continue with our other loves as their quality is still so good. Wow what a statement the Lappies have made in the show ring for us. the work and effort to have them recognised by our judges is slowly paying off with around 120 class in group or show wins for the 2007 year. An increase of 35 wins to that of 2006.
We live on a small rural property outside of Kingaroy allowing us the latitude to have a few more dogs than we were permitted when on the Sunshine Coast.
