Down in wilds of NSW just outside Canberra in a small town called Anembo just a few dirt road rides from Captains Flat is a small piece of the KIrchoff jigsaw co-owned with Therese Kropman. Therese has a highly successful Border Collie Kennel to which she added her first Toller Ch Kirchoff Gracelands in 2001.
Now Australian Grand Champion
KIrchoff Gracelands. Oct. 07
Gracie grew up into a lovely young lady, doing all the things that Therese didn't expect but enjoyed anyway! She has won Best of Breed at Sydney Royal 2 years in row and has had her first litter of puppies so she now has her daughter Aprilraine Red Red Rose (Rosie) born on 19.6 05 to play and compete with.
As Grace planted the Toller gene more firmly into the household a plan was hatched to have another Toller this time a boy. At that time Louise Blomquist was sending a female pup to Australia for Fionavar kennels and offered to send a boy from the same litter too. Having decided that the boy was all that we hoped for, Therese and I agreed to share him, I get to have all the glory when he wins and she gets to do all the hard work of raising him and training him.! Renarders Buenos Tardes or Tardy as he is known to his friends, is doing very well winning multiple classes in group already and he is not yet 12 months old.
Tardy is growing up into a handsome young man nearly to his championship.
He is now Dad to one litter of pups and is waiting for his second family to be born soon -

During the meanwhilst he has been to Melbourne with his family and had a toller gathering at the Melbourne Royal.
