September 2008 Export/Quarantine News (Australia) 
Ch Snoweyriver Rain Spirit (Senna) and Snoweyriver Lilac ‘n Lace (Lace) 
started their quarantine in September en route to Australia. 
We believe that Senna will be one of the first registered/purebred WSSD’s in Australia 
and certainly the first WSSD to be exported to Australia from any WSSD kennel 
in our country bringing them a refreshing new bloodline. We wish our special friends 
Rob, Sue and the ‘girls’ Heather and Rebecca a great future in their new country. 

My dogs will miss ‘Aunty Sue’s’ delicious homemade pets meal and gravy’!

His second litter sired is to Ruut Tilstra’s lovely female ‘Blue” of Kimberleys Pride. The Jongeneels in Holland have kept a daughter from Schumba and Promise called ‘Uxmal’ (born: 02/05/08) – we wish them luck with this beautiful female and to Ruut a special well wish for her to recover from her ‘accident’.
