Portuguese Water Dogs from Rulett Kennels

Hello, my name is Margo Turnbull and welcome to Rulett Kennels - situated in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, N.S.W. Australia - currently the home of healthy, sound, clever and very beautiful Portuguese Water Dogs (and one Great Dane).

All my dogs, both past and present, are titled in both the Conformation and Obedience rings and many are also titled and/or working in Endurance, Agility, Herding, Canine Freestyle and Tracking at various times of the year.

I both owned and trained the first Great Dane in Australia to attain the Endurance Test title in 1997 and also the first, and only to date, Portuguese Water Dog to attain the Companion Dog Excellent title, in 2004.

In March 2006 my PWD, Holly Dog, became the first Australian Bred Grand Champion PWD in the country and the first bitch to have been awarded this title.

In August 2006 Holly became the first PWD to compete and qualify in the Endurance Test, a trial run over 20kms - this is her 5th title.

She is the highest titled show and working PWD in Australia.

In May 2006 I imported a 4 year old, black, wavy bitch from Biley's Kennels in Sweden. She was mated prior to leaving to a Swedish Champion dog and whelped 6 puppies on June 16th.

All my breeding stock is Optigen tested, hip and elbow x-rayed and then scored by Bob Wyburn and ACES eye tested annually by an Opthalmologist.

I am the past Chief Obedience Instructor, and still a current Obedience Instructor, of the Blue Mountains Dog Training Club Inc., a member of our State Body Dogs N.S.W., the Utility Dog Club, B.M.D.T.C. Inc. and the PWD Club of America.

I have also held the various Club positions of Vice President, Secretary, Rescue Officer, Trophy Steward, Publicity Officer and Committee Member of the Great Dane Club of N.S.W. Inc. over many years since joining in 1986, although I no longer currently breed Great Danes.

Please, enjoy my dogs and this site and feel free to contact me for any further information on either of these breeds either by email - rulett@pnc.com.au - or by phone - 041 361 2208. Thank you for your time.
