- Puppies have arrived! Multi Ch Twyborn Innocense - Alfred X Ch Twyborn Grey Gardens - Kizzie 30 December 2014 and we have six girls and two boys.
- Our repeat litter with Ch Twyborn Flam Beau ( Imp Swe) x Ch Piaffe La Boheme was born 16 December 2012. Both girls, Piaffe Age of Innocence “Marta” and Piaffe Melancholia “ Arabella” have been developing nicely with consistent placings at Royals and Specialty Shows. A 2014 highlight was Arabella winning reserve in show at the Samford Agricultural Show in July under Tasmanian whippet specialists, Terry and Ruth Collicutt. This followed a BOB win at Toowoomba Royal with her sister Marta winning Runner Up of Breed.
- A big highlight of 2014 was the arrival of our new Swedish imports thanks to Mr Michael Vikstrom of Kennel Twyborn. Twyborn Innocense “ Alfred” and his half sister, Twyborn Joy of Life “ Folly” joined Piaffe in August and have settled in beautifully.
- Early 2015 will see the arrival of Alfred’s first Australian litter. We are very grateful to Alan Adams letting us lease his beautiful Ch Rushdale Kizmai for this litter. Kizzie goes back to my original Taejaan and American lines so it is a very special thrill to have this litter happening for Piaffe.
- Piaffe has transitioned from the afghan hound breed to the borzoi breed over the last few years. Our darling Phoenix, Supreme Ch Jacosta Return of the Phoenix is now enjoying a well earned retirement with us at Brookfield.
- Our thanks to Kay Sneath of Marakhoff Borzois for co-owning Ch Marakhoff Plaashenko “ Sholly” with us.
Sholly is just coming up to three years and has already won three groups and is well on his way to becoming a Supreme Champion.
