YURRUGAR TOPS THE BREED IN 2024

4 dogs with our prefix were shown in Australia in 2024, 1 of which was only at a handful of selected events with international judges. All 4 dogs took Best in Group/RUBIG wins, three were multiple winners. No ETT owned by us was beaten for a Best of Breed in 2024.

A20 Ch Aust Ch YURRUGAR BEYOND PARADISE 'Willow', an outstanding 2.5 year old female, was Australia's #1 English Toy Terrier (Black & Tan) for 2024, Yurrugar the top breeder (DOL Pointscore). Willows baby brother, Yurrugar All Hallows Eve at Lecarne, is now registered and will be in the ring soon. Rosemarie's A20, CACIB, Aust Grand Ch YURRUGAR BLACK TIE AFFAIR 'Angus', took the #2 spot, #1 in Tasmania. Aust Ch YRRUGAR ANOTHER LEGEND 'Oscar' was the #2 ETT in the state of Victoria behind Willow. 

Off the top of my head, some highlights for 2024 included Best of Breed at both Adelaide and Melbourne Royals with two different dogs, in competition. Best in Group under Bernard Ong (Singapore), RU BIG under Mabel Sy (Philippines), a Group 3rd under Benny Blidh von Schedvin (Sweden), Best Puppy in Show under Masaaki Amano (Japan), an all breeds RUBIS, 2 new A20 champions, a new CACIB title holder (both the first ETTs in Australia to hold these titles), a new Grand Champion, and that's just the tip of the iceberg really. Our small team won countless ribbons in 2024.

We imported a new dog, we exported semen from a number of dogs, we've bred some very nice puppies in the latter part of the year. Lots of good things happened when you think about it.

I will just say I'm not overly fussed on the DOL Pointscore. We show sporadically compared to others, I like to do lots of other things on weekends too!

Quality, not quantity, and continued quiet dedication shines. Head down, bum up and row your own boat. You know how we are :) 

I will also add here, and this is VERY unlike me to do so, but it has come to my attention that I have been the target of harmful and defamatory posting from another breeder who has caused ongoing problems since we began. These false accusations and attempts to damage my/our reputation will not be tolerated. Anyone who truly knows us would recognise that these claims are utter rubbish.

I want to make it clear that I am taking immediate legal action to address this matter, as well as engaging with the state governing body to ensure that appropriate steps are taken. Defamation is a serious offense, and I will do everything in my power to protect my name and integrity.
