Kylie comes from an impressive line of bitches. Her Great Grand Dam was our foundation bitch, Gr Ch Almanza Better Than Ever (imp Swed), her Grand Dam is our first homebred bitch, Gr Ch Bushman Burning Desire and her dam is one of the top winning Flat Coated Retriever bitches in Australia, Gr Ch Bushman Talk About Lucky! With that kind of pedigree we have every right to expect big things.  We were very lucky to produce Kylie from 10 year old Frozen semen from our first imported male, Ch Almanza Never Think Twice, who boasts a very impressive pedigree! Kylie was only shown a few times as a puppy. She won Reserve Bitch CC and Minor Puppy In Show at just 6 months old at the Flat Coated Retriever Association's Championship Show in 2005. Kylie spent her first twelve months in training for Retrieving Trials but recommenced her show career in October 06. In only a month and a half of showing, she completed her show title, won five class in group awards and Best in Show at both the Flat Coated Retriever Open and Championship show 2006 .... not a bad start!

Kylie won BOB and made it into the final cut for Best in Group at Adelaide Royal in 2007 and had an excellent start to 2008 winning 3 class in Show awards, a Best in Group and runner up to best in group.

Kylie has had a very successful year in the show ring so far in 2008 and her record to date is:

Over 600 CC Points.
