Ace my pick...from the litter...
Click to view...
.We first saw ace at 4or 5 days old via pictures over the web....not a usual way of picking a pup, granted..but were happy..
we thank Leanne of Arndane for allowing us to bring ace to the UK ,and working with us , looking after him and showing him in Australia over the 10 months he had to stay to work his quarantine via the UK pet passport scheme..
Whilst in Oz he was shown and won numerous shows..in fact he was on our equivalant of two cc's , so a further few months would of surely become an australian champion..but alas he might of ended up staying with Arndane so we didnt want that ..it was hard enough for Leanne to part with him....

Ace learning to swim...i'm afraid we cant offer him the pool...
Were so pleased he did is quarantine in oz with Leanne.. a whole lot better than quarantine in the uk...i think you'll agree..
Ace with Dad [Jed] Below...
Ace was on Uk soil at last....and had made history becoming the first Australian Mantle to be imported into the UK...
His achievements will no doubt be many....after only 4 months in the uK..had numerous wins in classes..qualified for crufts 2009 by winning a Championship Yearling Class.....and became the Top r/up Mantle in the SWGDC leagues...not bad for a youngster...
Watch out for Ace in the future...and his Progeny are coming along too...
Ace left Arndane and Australia on the tuesday..stopped over in Singapore and arrived in the UK the early hours on the Fri...
The crate is below that he travelled in.....
Right...The animal reception centre at Heathrow London....
To the right..he was signed over to us 5 minutes before this pic was taken..suprisingly, quite alert considering his journey.
