The
REMBLAK prefix was established and registered in
2001, since that time we have been members of Dogs Victoria
(formally known as the Victorian Canine Association).
Our
admiration and interest in the Staffordshire Bull Terrier
started many years ago. We
met our first Staffordshire Bull Terrier through long time
family friends Robert & Debra Mansfield who often visited
and brought along their mate Spud.
Tragically Spud had come from an abusive environment but
was fortunate to have been rescued, re-homed and given a second
chance at life with people who loved and adored him.
This beautiful boy lived till the ripe old age of 16
years.
My
husband and I knew someday we too would be owned by one of these
extraordinarily intelligent, fun loving & devoted fur
friends.
Mid
2001 saw us welcome to our home a well mannered and devoted
loving companion Kane - Chablakmor The Hurricane.
Kane was everything that we could have possibly hoped he
would be, a
fantastic companion with a temperament like the breed standard
calls for
Bold,
Fearless & Totally Reliable
So
as some may say we had the bug, we wanted to add another
Stafford
to our family. A
year later, July 2002 saw us welcome our next addition in Nos -
Chablakmor Devils Dream. Nos
was our introduction to the world of dog showing.
With limited exposure Nos accumulated more than over half
his points required to obtain his Australian Championship Title,
however his love for the show ring was dismal, he much preferred
to stay at home. Nos
fared well at
Stafford
specialty shows across the state and was always in the top
placings. He was
selectively available at stud and produced some lovely examples
of the breed. Nos
was retired in June 2008 from the show ring.
During his showing career he was awarded a Best Exhibit
In Show, under a Terrier Specialist Judge Mrs D.Harrison (NSW) a
prestigious accolade for any
Stafford
to be awarded. At
home he is a placid boy, happy to just laze about in the Sun or
taunt his friends Ebby & Molly.
Two
years later we decided to welcome a female to our family.
November 2004, saw us bring home our very first bitch Ebony or
Ebby as we refer to her - Australian Champion Tykabul Crazy In
Luv. Ebby was titled
with four (25point) challenge award certificates and became the
20th Australian Champion bred under the Tykabul
prefix owned by Ms Joy Austin-Cleary a very dear friend of ours.
Ebby had Multiple CCs, BOB / RUBOB, Groups & In
Show Wins to her credit and was always placed under Local,
Overseas, Interstate, Terrier Specialists and All Breed Judges.
From the beginning of her show debut winning Best Baby
Puppy In Show under UK Breed Specialist Judge Mrs Lesley
McFayden (Araidh) through to the Australian Bred Class she
proved time and time again she was a force to be reckoned with.
We
decided in 2008 to breed a litter from our beautiful girl but
unfortunately things did not go to plan.
Ebony had 4 puppies (3girls, 1 boy) but unfortunately all
were lost due to unforseen complications.
Most established breeders will tell you from time to
time, these things can and often do happen.
Thankfully Ebony made a full recovery and returned back
to the show ring and again continued with her successes and
obtained her final challenge award certificate which gave her
the final points to be known as an Australian Champion.
After
much deliberation we decided to try and breed from Ebony one
more time in hope that she could have a successful litter.
This time all things went smoothly and Ebony whelped 7
beautiful babies in June 2009 (5 boys, 2girls), tragically
though one little girl did not make it.
Our puppies Remblak Unleashed, Remblak Pop Ya Collar,
Remblak Mad Rush, Remblak Story Teller, Remblak Kiss Ya Mumma
& Remblak Corona Miss were all placed in loving homes which
continue to keep us updated with their progress.
Ebony was spayed after her litter of puppies and retired
from the show ring. These
days she enjoys home life, lounging around the house with her
best mates Nos & Molly.
In
light of our unsuccessful litter, April 2008 did see us welcome
a special addition to the Remblak household in Molly -
Australian Champion Seighford Surprise Paket.
Molly came to us from David and Fiona Lowe of Seighford
Staffords, who have become very good friends of ours and through
them we have been fortunate to share their wealth of knowledge
of this wonderful breed. Molly
showed a great deal of promise at an early age and was awarded a
Best Baby Puppy In Show under UK Breed Specialist Judge Mr Jamie
Mace (Janastaff). Molly
has done extremely well for herself in the show ring and
continues to be recognised at an All Breeds & Specialist
level. Her highest
award of Runner Up Best in Specialty Show at the
Newcastle
12th Championship Show under South African Breed
Specialist Judge Mr Franz Coetzer (Zeracious), an exhilarating
accolade to receive in hot competition.
That day she was runner up to
Australias Breed Record Holder - Australian Grand Champion Rayonnaire
Canny Bairn owned by Craig & Jude Frazer of Highbourne
Staffords, N.S.W.
At
home Molly enjoys nothing more than being pampered by us and
keeping the other two dogs in order, she believes she rules the
roost and we are all her slaves.
We look forward to the future and hope to welcome another
lively addition to our family through Molly in the later part of
2010.
