Kellick is the oldest Flat Coated Retriever breeding kennel in Australia & New Zealand; we have owned Flat Coated Retrievers since 1975 owning 2 of the foundation stock one from England & the other from New Zealand. Kellick has had a number of imported dogs over the life of the kennel from New Zealand, England, Scotland and, 3 males from Sweden. Further more recently imported frozen semen from working lines in Finland. Importation is required to refresh the kennels gene pool and keep it healthy. All breeding stock is health checked suitable for breeding. Puppies available occasionally. Our dogs are active in the hobby of Retrieving Trialing. As the breed is a Gun dog and was originally bred for retrieving game when man lived off the land. Here at Kellick we continue to stimulate this instinct in our dogs by competing in Retrieving trials of which is an assimilation of duck shoot using dead pigeons as the game. Our dogs enjoy this hobby as it is in their blueprint to retrieve.

* Hawksdale Kennel was establish in 2004 with the purchase of our foundation bitch "BAWTRY PARK MY MELODIE". Melodie sadly passed over to the rainbow bridge earlier this year 4 months off her 14th birthday. We are a small kennel located at the foothills of the Darling Scarp in Perth WA. Since then we have imported 3 dogs from Norway and Sweden. Our Newest arrival is Moonstruck Walnut (imp Swe). He was campaigned by his breeders in Sweden and is a Amsterdam Junior World Winner 2014 and also qualified and shown at Crufts 2015 before flying out to Australia! I cannot thank the Moonstruck Kennel enough for sending me this crazy but wonderful dog! Wally was campaigned in NSW by Gillian Holmes (Blacqlable Kennel) in 2017 to many BOB and In Group wins as well as a BIS at the Canberra Gun Dog Show under breed specialist Mrs Carina Ostman from Sweden. Our dogs are very much part of the family as well as active show dogs. We welcome all enquires for show/working and pet homes on either Mains or Limited Register.

Small select kennel breeding for type and temperament. Our foundation bitch Luna stood out in terms of brains and beauty. She was Brisbane Royal BoB in her first show and went on to gain her Championship title easily. Luna attained 13 ANKC titles across 6 disciplines (Conformation, Obedience, Rally Obedience, Scent Work, Retrieving & Endurance). Brew (Dual Ch (TS) Grand Ch (TS) Malunbea Disorderly Conduct CCD ET SWV SWM SWI SWC SWX) is demonstrating he not only has outstanding good looks and temperament but very clever with 15 titles in Scent Work, Obedience, Track and Search, and Endurance. Our little Kiwi (Dual Ch (TS) Arangold Backup Plan Imp NZL SWE ET) is not far behind with earning Endurance, Track & Search and Scent Work titles between motherly duties. Miss Star, the baby of the team, is coming along nicely having gained her Show Champion and her first Scent work title. With her linage and smarts she has an exciting future ahead. We are committed to a strong future for Flats in Australia

My first Flat Coat arrived in 1984 and although Tara was not a show dog, she taught me how wonderful the temperament of this breed is. 1993 saw the arrival of Inji into my life and the introduction to the conformation and breeding world. Her first litter produced Tali, my first male. Inji and Tali (hence the kennel name) were a delight to live with and were my first two show champions. 1998 Elly (Ch Kellick Carn Of Cailiche CCD) arrived and was my foundation bitch. Her first litter produced Jy (Ch Injitali In The Black CD). In 2004 Elly's second litter saw the arrival of Baloo (Gr Ch Injitali Intrigue CCD RN). Baloo's first litter produced Booker who is Dual Gr Ch (TS) Dual Ch (T) Injitali Sir Bouncealot. Extremely naughty and highly intelligent. Best dog ever when I need a cuddle. 2011 saw the arrival of Baloo's second litter and I kept two pups. Seeker is now Dual Gr Ch (TS) Dual Ch (T) Injitali Intriguing Secret. Tiger is Dual Gr Ch (TS) Dual Ch (T) Intriguing Tale. 2017 Seeker produced Lani (Ch Injitali Treasure Seeker). I call Lani "The Apprentice" as she delights in copying and watching Uncle Booker's clever and naughty antics. 3 Dual Grand Champions was not something I thought I would ever do when I first started with Flat Coats. So proud of them all.

Due to a cancellation I have a bitch puppy available, currently 8 weeks old. She is a lovely cuddly puppy and of a super temperament. European bloodlines. Both parents and one set of grandparents available to view.
