"Sophie" Safida Aldora, (Dinperri Rhys x Aberbrothock Livia) was born in Queensland, Australia. In 1984 we mated her to Rinderback Bosley. (Ostoja Kojac x Willenstark Gretta) and kept 2 pups from a litter of 11. In 1985 we purchased a one year old bitch, Iccara Alana (Wilostos Satan x Ooyella Candicans) and in 86 another bitch puppy Ellenvanin Klienen (Jumius Pae Nobal x Kirlou Ordame). In 1987 we returned to Canada again, taking with us 7 dogs, 3 cats and a bird.

In 1988 we purchased a bitch puppy from Joe Balasa in Maple Ridge B.C. "Kissy", Alouettes Velvet Cassiopia (Can. Ch Timberhaven Starbuck x Can. Ch J B's Black Phantom Kaluha) was the foundation of my present day Rottweilers. A friend handled Kissy to her Canadian Championship and in 1991 we bred Kissy to "Beau", Can Ch Coultrain's Beauregard (Am. Can. Ch Sandwuste's Dax of Trollegen x Can. Ch Heidegruen's Dustie Dawne). Beau was bred by Kathy Cooper of Coultrain Rottweilers and owned by Carlo & Lisa Crema of Lionsgate Rottweilers. Of the resulting litter I kept a dog and bitch puppy.

Towards the end of 91, I decided to return to Australia. As my ex husband did not want to return, I very wisely left him in Canada and brought Kissy and the 2 pups (Free & Faust) with me. My present day Rottweilers are descendants of Kissy. Included in my breeding program is "Cagney", Glencoe The Contender, (Aust Gr Ch Blackcombe La Forge CDX ET x Bernzhunde Klassy Kirra) the beautiful boy on my portal page. Cagney was purchased from Ron McIlwraith & Paul Davies of Glencoe Rottweilers. My handler, Carrie Kiely has taken him to his Australian Championship. I have also purchased a bitch puppy from Pat Akesson-Romney of Helsingborg Rottweilers, "Winnie", Helsingborg Willys Winna, (Willi Von Lenthe (Imp Gmy) x Glencoe Back In Black).

When I am Old..

I shall wear Turquoise and soft gray sweatshirts... and a bandana over my silver hair.....and I shall spend my Social Security Checks on Sweet Wine and My Dogs.......and sit in my house on my well-worn chair, and listen to my dog's breathing.

I will sneak out in the middle of  a warm Summer night and take my dogs for a run, if my old bones will allow... and when people come to call, I will smile and nod as I show them my dogs...and talk of them and about them...The Ones so Beloved of the Past and the Ones so Beloved of Today....

I still will work hard cleaning after them and mopping and feeding them and whispering their names in a soft, loving way.. I will wear the gleaming sweat on my throat, like a jewel, and I will be an embarrassment to all...and my family... who have not yet found the peace in being free to have dogs as your Best Friends....

These friends who always wait, at any hour, for your footfall...and eagerly jump to their feet out of a sound sleep, to greet you , as if you are a God. With warm eyes full of  adoring love  and hope that you will stay and hug their big, strong necks...and kiss their dear sweet heads...and whisper to them of  your love and the beautiful pleasure of their  very special company....

I look in the Mirror...and see I am getting  old.... this is the kind of woman I am...and have always been. Loving dogs is easy, they are part of me, accept me for who I am, my dogs appreciate my presence in their lives...when I am old this will be important to me...you will understand when you are old....& if you have dogs to love too.
