Looking back...
CH Chesney Buckson (Imp Aus) Aust Ch Chesney Scooby Too x Aust Ch Blair-Na-Park Merri Maid (Imp NZ) The return of this lovely black and tan to New Zealand reflects the close relationship between the late Betty MacKenzie and Patricia Bunter of Chesney. Betty allowed me to bring CH Blair-Na-Park Rural Lady, "Chelsea" to Buck for the breeding which produced Logan and his litter-sister Bree. "Buck" at about 14 years of age...
CH FERINTOSH RED SKY AT NIGHT "LOGAN" CH Chesney Buckson (Imp Aust) x CH Blair-Na-Park Rural Lady (Whelped 2000) My first home-bred boy. Logan has many successful show dogs and wonderful pets to his credit. Both Logan and his litter-sister Bree, CH Ferintosh Ruby in the Dust" are the most sound and healthy Norwiches, with wonderful temperaments that they have passed onto their offspring.

CH FERINTOSH SLIGHTLY FOXED "PIPER" CH Blair-Na-Park Smart Fella X CH Blair-Na-Park Rural Lady (Whelped 2002) A very sound dog with enormous presence, his son "BISS CH Kaeva Pay the Piper" is one of the most successful Norwich terriers currently in NZ. Of his outstanding movement, it was often said of Piper that "you could balance a glass of wine on his back, trot him out and he wouldn't spill a drop". Such is his balance and smoothness. Both Piper and Logan are pure Blair-Na-Park lines, originating from Betty Mackenzie, the founder of the breed here in NZ. "FRED" Naunbeach Silver Lord x Acquest Chantilly Lace (whelped 2003) Fred came to my kennel thanks to Sally Sharp who immigrated to NZ bringing both Fred and his dam "Acquest Chantilly Lace" (Moog). Sally and I became firm friends straight away and I was honoured to groom, handle and to breed from these dogs. Fred is a grandson of the distinguished sire "CH Ragus Solid Silver" who is behind many of today's winning Norwich terriers in the UK. The arrival of Fred and Moog at Kaeva provided a turning point for my kennel, with Fred producing the top winning "RUBIS Aust GR CH Kaeva Right Said Fred". Two Fred daughters are currently my main breeding bitches and Fred's dam, Acquest Chantilly Lace produced the lovely "CH Matalaena of Kaeva" ("Tilly"), winner of BOB at the NZ National Dog Show in 2008 and mother of BISS CH Kaeva Pay the Piper. I would not be where I am today without these two dogs.
Older generations...... CH BLAIR-NA-PARK AUGUSTAN NZ & AUST CH Daffran Willicress (Imp UK) x CH Blair-Na-Park Tiffany Augustan is the sire of CH Blair-Na-Park Rural Lady, my foundation bitch.
