My story of how I started with my Pomeranian passion begins when
I was a young child.I was fortunate enough to have an Aunt who bred and exhibited
Champion Pomeranians. My greatest joy was to be able to nurse a Champion Pomeranian
on the way home from a show. I now realize why it was on the way home. I made
up my mind one day my life would be filled with Show Pomeranians.
I have been lucky enough to have a Pomeranian to share most of my life. I am
sure this early experience with the breed ,as well as years of experience breeding
dairy & beef cattle and working with stock horses on the farm has helped
in my quest to breed quality Pomeranians.
I have been breeding and exhibiting Pomeranians since 1975.
While applying for a prefix, We had received a postcard from my mother-in-law
, who had returned to visit her old home and relatives in Scotland. This card
was from a place called "Dochlaggie", on the spur of the moment this name was
submitted. I had previously submitted at least 40 names and they had been rejected.At
last an accepted prefix and hence the Dochlaggie Pomeranians came into existence.

Dochlaggie won it's first
All Breeds Best in Show at a Championship Show in 1978 with my homebred ,owner
handled Champion Dochlaggie Decisive and that really was the start of my success
in the show ring. Many top winning Best in Show Champions have followed, including
the top winning American Champion, Multi Best in Show American Champion Dochlaggie
Dagwood. A lot of these Champions have been Multi Best in Show winners,some
have titled in two countries and one a stunning cream sable -N. Z. BISS, Aust.
& Singapore Champion Dochlaggie Deity is titled in 3 countries. Just recently
I was thrilled to hear the exciting news- Dochlaggie Devils Brew had became
an International Champion.
2009 was an exciting year for Dochlaggie. Best in Show Champion Dochlaggie
Dragon Heart, handled by Jarrod Tyler , caught the eye of local and international
Toy specialists from the moment he stepped into the ring.
Best in Show Champion Dochlaggie Dragon Heart's quality continues to be recognised
by local & international Toy specialists a-like with numerous illustrious
wins against Top Toy competition Australia-wide.
The highlight of 2009 was Best in Show Champion Dochlaggie Dragon Heart's prestigous
award of Best in Show 4th at Australia's largest show, The Royal Melbourne Show.
Our client list includes a long list of of very high profile celebrities worldwide,
who have chosen to share their life with a Dochlaggie Pomeranian.
Special, Pet Pomeranians Babies are often available to caring homes.
As well as the challenge of breeding quality orange Pomeranians, I also have
a passion for the coloured Pomeranian. I have spent the last 15 years working
on whites, parti colours and wolf sables.
The Dochlaggie Pomeranians are a mixture of u.k. & u.s.a. lines. I find
that this cross of lines works so well for me.The early Dochlaggie where Australian
lines, but after a visit to Europe in 1989 and seeing the Pomeranians at Shows
and at prominent breeder's homes in the u.k. 3 males and 4 females, where purchased
from the Hadleigh lines. Selecting only the best puppies produced to be retained
for future breeding and show purposes ,these new lines where to completely replace
the breeding lines I had been working with previously.
Totally over the last 35 years, I have had 30 imported Pomeranians here at
Dochlaggie.
Some of these 30 imported Pomeranians have contributed to the success of the
kennel. Others where not the quality I wanted ,so these imported Pomeranians
where placed in loving pet homes.
I would like to thank the wonderful Pomeranian people who entrusted us with
oustanding Pomeranians and contributed so much to the huge success the kennel
has enjoyed .
Dochlaggie Pomeranians have been top winners not only within Australia but
have enjoyed huge success worldwide .
All the Pomeranians are micro chipped . I had been using a tattoo as permanent
identification prior to 1999. When micro chips became available in 1999 this
seemed a better method of identification and I had all adults and new babies
micro chipped. Pomeranians used for breeding are dna profiled .
I have been an active Exhibitor/Breeder of Champion Pomeranians for over 30
years. I have been so lucky to have been able to share my life with this special
breed. All the joys along the way have made the sorrows in this breed bearable
.I have been lucky to have made many wonderful friends in the Pomeranian World
and I have a very supportive family , without this support I would not have
been able to follow my dream of breeding & exhibiting world class Pomeranians.
