Welsh Springer Spaniel Breeders, NZ

We bought our first Welsh, Alfie (Bwgan Llwyd ar Nantlle), in 2006 in the UK. He was shortly followed by Ryan (Ch Coedybrain Ryan ar Nantlle) in 2008. Nantlle Kennels was then established. Both boys were shown at Crufts, gaining places in the breed, with Ryan a winner in the Gamekeepers classes – we worked him on a pheasant shoot each winter. We moved Alfie and Ryan to New Zealand in 2016, and Ryan’s daughter Sammy (Ch Llon Llaeth Y Gaseg ar Nantlle) joined us in 2017. We lost Alfie, then Ryan (old age) so we were joined by Kristy (Ch Bryndoain Uptown Girl) from the Bryndoain Kennels. Ryan, Sammy and Kristy have all been shown and made up to Champions. From our first litter we kept Gwenno, the offspring of Bear (Kylowen Drym, Ryan’s grandson) and Kristy. We health test all our dogs when used for breeding.

BREEDING FOR BOTH TOWN AND COUNTRY. DEDICATED TO WELSHIES SINCE 2003. Brynmor is a name synonymous with top winning show Welshies in NZ, home to the current National Champ. Pups have been shown from all of our litters, either by us or their new owners and has resulted in 17 NZ Champs and 1 Aust Champ. And there is the promise of even more quality to come. All required health testing for our breed is completed on all our breeding dogs. Any enquiries regarding Welshies always welcome.

We are a Mother and Daughter team who whelped our first litter in November 2009. We are situated on a dairy farm in the Waikato and believe that all dogs should be allowed to get dirty, to chase rabbits and enjoy life in all its fullness. We aim to breed happy, healthy best friends who can turn their hand to whatever is required of them. Whether it's hunting in the field, playing with children, showing off in the ring or cuddling on the couch. Our foundation bitch Ch Brynmor Red Enchantress of Afonderi (Tess), is a Best of Group winner, multi class all breed class in group and multi speciality class in show winner. Her son, Ch Afonderi Armed N Red E (Horus) is a Reserve in group winner. Her daugthers, Afonderi Red E Maid (Monkey), is a multi speciality class in show and multi all breeds age of group winner. And not to be left behind, Afonderi At the Red E (Bridie) also is also a multi all breeds age of group winner. Bridie's daughter Bryndoain Playin-it-cool with Afonderi (sired by ENG SH CH Kazval Bandito is a multi speciality class in show winner. Jasper (Afonderi St. Elmo's Fire) has joined our show time part time and we have been fortunate enough to have had MYCROFT MOUNTAIN ASH sent to us (in partnership with Bryndoain kennels) from Aust by her breeder Sylvia Brackman. We are looking forward to another exciting year with our adorable loveable collection of best friends.

Bryndoain is the longest established Kennels for Welsh Springers in New Zealand. We purchased our first Welsh "Bryn" from the first litter in NZ,in late 1977. He went on to become the first NZ Bred breed Champion. We then imported from the Northey Kennels to establish a healthy genetic base for the breed,then continued throughout the years with exchanges from Australia, and using stock imported from UK. Always rurally based,our present kennels are situated on a small block surrounded by stream, swamp and bush in the western Waikato, a perfect backdrop for happy active Welsh to hunt rabbits and birds. Breeding stock are carefully monitored for genetic health. All inquiries are welcome from prospective pet, hunting or show homes. We provide new owners with extensive help and hints with their new family members. These happy active Welsh are also great at agility and tracking. Two of our Bryndoain dogs are now employed to hunt out Argentine Ant pests in NZ, safeguarding our Port of Auckland from this invasive pest. Their keen nose ability is well known in hunting pheasants also, flushing them from cover for the hunters. Email or phone inquiries welcome. (064)(0)7 8293323

Dana Kennels was established in 1974 with our first Welshie joining us in the early 80s. Our three boys took her everywhere with them on the farm and she was their constant companion, she was also shown and achieved her Championship Certificate. Over our long history with this lovely breed we have bred and shown Nationals Winners as well as agility dogs, working gun dogs, and of course many loyal family companions. Our first imported Stud dog came from the Slyvkin Kennels in Australia when we were lucky enough to see the litter and select our lovely boy Rhett 'NZ Ch Slyvkin Gwillym' over the years we have had three lovely boys from this Kennels and we are grateful to Sylvia and Bill for the privilege. We were among the first kennels of any breed in New Zealand to test our breeding stock for any problems of a hereditary nature and have continued to do so. We sometimes have puppies available to approved homes.
