We became involved in the dog world in 1979 with our first Dalmatian. After showing and breeding Dalmatians successfully for some time, we fell in love with the very cheeky and lovable Lowchen in the mid 1980's with the introduction of Ardgowan Crackerjack (Imp NZ) (Jack) to our Dalmatian owned home. We soon fell under the spell of their wonderful clownlike personalities and added Lyoncourt Lancelot (Ben) and Paceaway Larapinta (Misty) to our home. Our first litter from Ben and Misty in 1992 produced the Best In Show (All Breeds)winning Ch Rondaglen Sir Galahad and Ch Rondaglen Lady Othelake. Now producing quality puppies with both imported and Australian lines, we are proud to announce that we bred the first Australian Lowchen to attain both conformation and obedience titles - Aust Ch Rondaglen Parti Fashion UD, owned and handled by Miss I Bilney, followed by Rondaglen My Fair Lady (CDX) owned and trialled by Charmaine Lee. Our breeding is now being successfully shown in Victoria and South Australia with multiple Royal Show best of breeds being awarded both to Rondaglen Lowchen and now the second generation - Lowensque Lowchen bred and handled by Courtney Tulk. Currently having success in the ring with Angel (Gr Ch Rondaglen Heaven Sent) from our first Rondaglen/Lowensque litter. A new addition to the family is Banjo (Rondaglen Take A Bow) who will be at stud to approved bitches when he matures,

Celavie is a small, select kennel aiming to breed dogs for the family or the show ring, happy and healthy in body, mind and spirit. We have been enchanted by Lowchen since the early 1990's when my best friend started showing them. And, of course, when they had a litter I was first in line for a puppy! So began a procession of Lowchen and the household hasn't been the same since!

We have a gorgeous 12 month old boy looking for a new forever home, due to no fault of his own. He is a sweet, social boy who loves people, kids, other dogs and cats. He would do best in a home with another dog and someone who can spend plenty of time with him. Please pm to learn more. We are located in SA but interstate or overseas transport can easily be organised to your expense. There will be a fee to get him but only to cover costs as he will be neutered.
