I thoroughly enjoyed my few days away, having time to catch up with Sue & Darren and Tam & Dean was great, your hospitality was appreciated and very much enjoyed, the days just were not long enough. Lots of early mornings and late night chats, the four days went so fast.
Sue & Darren (Sudar Aussie Bulldogs)
Tammy (Jax Aussie Bulldogs)
Dean with Ajax & Dakota
By Tuesday morning I was glad that I did not have to drive anywhere as I was so tired and so was Tammy. I was meant to get on the plane at 9.15 am out of Melbourne, but my flight did not leave until just after 12pm, lucky enough on a direct flight to Brisbane. I was then booked in to catch a flight to Hervey bay ex Brissy at 6pm, due to the late flight ex Melbourne I had missed the earlier connection. Virgin paid for my airfare to be transferred to Quantas in Brisbane , where I just made the Bundaberg flight by 5 mins and I got home at 2:30 pm instead of 8.30pm. The flight to Bundaberg was on a smaller plane which flew lower and I was able to take photos all the way home to Bundy, so that was an added enjoyment to end the trip. Here’s a photo coming into land over Bundy ……………………………..
It was good to see the rain go away for the fun day,it had me worried there for a bit, although by the looks of the country around Melbourne it is in great need of lots of rain, I could not believe how very dry it was.
There were some very nice Aussie Bulldogs at the fun day, noticed though a lot of males turned up for the day. The breed consistency overall was very good, which shows that the UABA breeding system is still working with grading and percentages. There were some ideal Aussies there with three dogs that really took my eye other than Sudar Bronco.
Sudar " Bronco "
The two others were both Rocky sons. One in particular stayed in my mind for the most even well balanced male of the day, an ideal specimen of the breed and I would like to see a lot more dogs bred of this type.
Functional looking and proud as punch.
" Sudar Danny Boy"
Male also bred by Sudar Aussie Bulldogs ( Priscilla's brother) called "Ruffy"
The third male was a dog bred by Lisa & Stu called Snoop dog, this male I only got to view from a distance which was a shame, as Linda had gone before I had the chance to get around to her to take some photos.
