Right from a baby
puppy,"Banana" has been appreciated as being a
lovely Irish Water Spaniel. The majority of the
judges who have awarded her accordingly have
been Gundog specialists - peer acknowledgement -
a great compliment!
Carragh's show
record is enviable. She exudes the quality of
her breeding. Without question, the most
successful bitch to be shown in Australia .
My extravert

world before her!!

Carragh,
the continuation of our dream, exuded great
confidence from the start. Consummate
showgirl-terrific temperament, sound
construction, amazing reach & drive with
characteristic rolling gait–essentials of a
quality IWS.
There is no need to embellish her outstanding
consistent achievements- the facts are on
record! As with her world-renowned father she
has an enviable record to which others can, and
do, aspire.
2005 was a great year dominating her class at
Champion & Open Shows, duplicating Casey’s
achievements, finishing #1 All Breeds SACA Top
Open Show Dog of the Year.
At 5 years of age, she had won 5 consecutive
CCs, 4 consecutive Best of Breeds at Melbourne
Royal!
Since the arrival of her spouse, Carragh has
rekindled her enthusiasm for tissues,
sweets/lollies, and plastic bags – regardless of
contents, in the hope that they contain other
goodies. With great inventive teamwork with
her brother Rommey, an almost daily demolition
reaps many rewards, not always favourable as
they discover when Bianca or Matthew arrives
home.
The next exciting chapter has begun with the
proof that QUALITY DOES BEGET QUALITY!
Carragh's exceptional litter to Ch/Am Ch
Whistlestop's Special Agent CD RN CGC has 5
pointed In Group winners. Finally I have my HOT
CHOCOLATE!
Carragh has stepped back following her maternal
duties while her daughter, our Princess Royal,
Rogue demands the limelight.
