Our first introduction to Springers was when we campaigned the lovely Aust & NZ Ch Wongan Sweet N Lovely for David & Stephanie Rickard. Pictured here as a youngster. |
The prefix PENITA was established in 1974. We have exhibited Rough Coated Collies, Shetland Sheepdogs and even a German Shepherd. In the early days of our marriage we had a Collie. We decided to get another dog for company for the Collie and purchased our first Cocker Spaniel. After several years of showing Cocker Spaniels, American Cocker Spaniels and a Clumber Spaniel we ventured into Springer Spaniels. In the early 1980's we exhibited AUST & NZ CH WONGAN SWEET N LOVELY for David & Stephanie Rickard .. The first Springer that we owned was AUST CH WONGAN PIPPIT. "Birdie" was sired by Ch Wongan Intonator (Ch Mompesson Midsummer Lad X Ch Monclare Sugar N Spice) out of Ch Wongan Clan Bramble (Ch Clanach Argye Tartan X Ch Monclare Sugar N Spice). Birdie was a multi class in show winner and also won Best Of Breed at the Royal Melbourne Show in 1984. Birdie was the mother of our multi Best In Show winning AUST GRAND CH & NZ CH PENITA ONTOP OTHEWORLD. "Caddy" has had an incredible show career, winning his first Best In Show award at 16 months and has been a most consistent winner for us. During his show career Caddy was the winner of 33 Best In Show wards 22 Runner Up Best In Show Awards 100 Best In Group Awards 32 Runner Up Best In Group Awards 250 Challenge Certificates Caddy was Tasmania's first Grand Champion Springer who passed away March 2001 |
