They bred Afghans for some 10 years before acquiring their first Kerry Blue and in that time showed successfully a Whippet, a Miniature Schnauzer, and more recently they have shown a Lhasa Apso and a couple of Wirehaired Fox Terriers. Their show career with Afghans was more than satisfactory in that they handled some 10 to their Australian Championship, 6 of these were Best in Show winners. Of the Afghans bred under their prefix "Pharno", there were 12 Champions including, 5 Best in Show winners. The breeding side of dog activities has a fascination of its own and thry were extremely pleased with their Kerry Blues (4 Best in Show Winners in the first litter!!!!), over the years they have produced many winners for others. Their Kerry Blue imports (2 English Champions, 1 Junior Warrant Winner and another dog from Ireland) have made a significant contribution to the popularity of the breed in Australia. One was National Dog of the year in 1979, which was no mean feat you may rest assured. Another won the Best Terrier in the Australian Bicentennial Top Dog Competition in 1988. In 1999, they imported a virtually unshown but high quality Kerry Blue dog from Ireland. They expect that he will help to continue their success both as breeders and as exhibitors.
