Hope you enjoy reading their stories!
Pedigree/Registered Name - Balemy Gold Edition ("Salty")
Salty's Owners - Chris and Katy
Salty's Date of Birth - 25/07/2007
As for Salty we could not be any more happy to have him. He has quickly become a much loved member of our family - extended family included. He loves to be involved in all our household activities, whether it be working in the yard or tidying the house, Salty will never be far away. I'm sure he see's himself as an integral part of these activities and it is his job to ensure they get done. In all honesty, most things actually take twice as long with Salty "helping", but we wouldn't have it any other way!
It is difficult to name all of Salty's favourite activities but they would include playing with his puppy friend Brandy, his toys (has his own toy box to which he helps himself), going to the beach and his neighbourhood walks - where he absolutely must say hello to all his friends along the way (both human and canine).
Salty has a beautiful nature, has been very quick to pick up on commands and is always complimented on his looks. We are very proud to have him indeed!

Pedigree/Registered Name - Balemy Heartbreak Kid ("George")
George's Owners - Andrew, Wendy and family
George's Date of Birth - 25/07/2007
Our baby boy is just magnificent! He has had a little operation (desexed) on his 6 month birthday and had recovered wonderfully. He weighed in at 33 kgs that day - we've given up weighing him at home as he's a little harder to hold in our arms now!
George's favourite things are ice - great to play with as well as loves it in his drinking water ....swimming in the pool (he actually dives in now! so cute!!) and gardening. We have a lot of mature palms and he likes to assist with gardening by retrieving the fallen palm leaves and then shredding them. It's very nice of him to create mulch for us :-)
He loves a pigs ear - but one used to last a week and now lasts about 10 mins! He's still very kissy and still sleeps with the duck and blanky we gave him on his first day at home. He's killed a few of his own toys but has never chewed anything he's not supposed to so we are really lucky.
George has a very gentle nature and is adored by all here. He is also the ambassador for our business and greets visitors to the factory. The coffee van comes at 7.30am each morning to bring the workers coffee and quickly started stocking dog biscuits so that they can also give George a treat. He starts pacing if they are late in the morning!
As well as that, Andrew is now known as 'the guy with the cute dog' at our local petrol station and around the neighbourhood. You'd be amazed at how often people talk to him out of the blue because they have seen and admired George.
Anyway - just wanted to let you know how happy we all are and how well George is doing, he's the perfect puppy! He's having one on one training and responding beautifully. In fact, just quietly, the trainer says George is quicker to learn than his Dad!
We thought we were gaining a dog and have so much more!! He's our 14 yr old son's best friend and everyone's buddy.

Pedigree/Registered Name - Balemy Regal Instict ("Darby")
Darby's Owner - Carolyn
Darby's Date of Birth - 12/03/2006
I can't believe that time has gone so fast and my gorgeous little puppy is now fully grown, Darby is now just over 19 months old and has grown to be everything we wished for in a companion. Everyone that meets him falls in love with him and I have to say I am one very proud owner.
Darby has continued on with his Obedience Training and we are currently undertaking an Advanced Course that also involves Agility, Scent work and Retrieval (and also a lot of very funny moments ). He is one very fun loving and affectionate boy and he gets totally spoilt at class as no one can resist his gorgeous face and the worst part is he knows it!
He loves his life on our acreage and is great friends with our horses. One in particular even tolerates 'sharing' his hay with him and we often joke that Darby is our little black Shetland and it is just comical to see them standing nose to nose both with hay in their mouths. (and yes he does eat it!).
Darby's tail has never stopped wagging since the day we picked him up and I love him dearly. The best moment of my day is when we sit together and he squirms under my leg to get close and looks up at me with his gorgeous amber eyes…it never fails to melt my heart.
He really is my 'beautiful friend'.

About Bache from the owners, Meg and Nick
Bache loves to run behind the motor bike and going in the back of the ute.
Nick takes her on the feed run with him and she has a high respect for all of the horses.
She sits patiently outside the gate and waits for Nick to come out of the paddock, she knows
she isn't allowed in. We always take her in the ute when we go out the back paddocks to check
dams/cattle etc. She only has to have her paws on the ground and she is straight in the dam.

She has an excellent coat and very different features, with her chocolate nose and hazel eyes. Bella is doing very well at obedience, she is very alert and a quick
