'Aust Champion' gained at 7 months of age + multi class in group winner

'Aelin Fireheart' came to Longbourn in August 2019 and true to her name rather than 'fit in' she announced her arrival then 'permitted' Macbeth, Amber and Sheila to find their place in her Court.

She entered the show ring at the end of September 2019 and hit the 'ground running' bringing home her first 'Baby in Group' from her second show! and she just kept running!
Aelin departed 'Baby Puppy' in the same manner she entered it with her 6th Baby Puppy in Group just before Christmas...
and entered 'Minor Puppy' in the same style taking 'Minor in Group' at her first show!

She continued into 2020 and by the time she turned 7 months we had the double celebration of her gaining her Australian Comformation Champion title!

So far Aelin hasn't failed once to impress us. She is a well balanced Spaniel with a rear driven unhurried stride, built for activity and endurance that we struggle daily to contain, she is sensitive and independent with a wonderful drive to learn and partake in anything the team is engaged in; this leaves Aelin and myself looking to the rest of 2020 with wonder as to where we will go next... for although we both love the show scene there is definitely more to her and we can't wait to see where that takes us...

Sadly at this point COVID hit and everything stopped...

2021 - Aelin whelped her first litter.
we were extremely luck and all her pups were reserved from birth and left at 8 wks to their amazing new families.
late 2021 - Aelin had her second litter, 'The Musketeers' An amazing litter that did not disappoint!
Her 2 sons travelled far and wide...
Longbourn D'Artagnan headed to the other side of the world and his family in France at Guinetelle
Longbourn Athos headed to Japan and his new family there
while her 2 daughters remain here with us at Longbourn
Longbourn Constance Bonacieux & Longbourn MiLady de Winter

2021 Aelin joined her family in the Tracking field, found her scent and by August she gained her TD (tracking Dog) title
and by 2022 she had her 'TCh' (Tracking Champion) and was moving onto Track & Search!

2023 Aelin had her final pups with her longtime companion Macbeth...
another amazing litter with 4 to enter the show ring, one of those joining her brother in France.

and she's not done yet...
