In June 2026, Birdie welcomed six babies sired by Ethan from Glenmave Kennels (Aust Ch Glenmave Blood and Sand).

Ethan’s owner and breeder describes him as “a busy boy, willing to participate in anything we are doing. A strong boy with lots of drive and a beautiful red medium length coat.”

Ethan is an Australian Show Champion. He was awarded Reserve Challenge Dog at the 2025 and 2026 Royal Melbourne Shows, and was Runner-up Best of Breed in 2026. Ethan was Junior in Show at the 2024 Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Club of Victoria Specialty.

This was a lovely combination producing beautiful correct puppies with straight legs, level toplines and very nice angulation across the board.
