Draco arrived in Australia on 21st December 2005 to join Dlarah Kennels, he spent 30 days at the Eastern Creek Quarantine Station before finally on 21th January arriving at his new home in Bathurst NSW.

Special thanks to Halla for not only breeding Draco but for her wonderful care, love and training while he under went his quarantine requirements in Finland before his departure for Australia. Halla's care ensured that Draco was able to cope and adjust to his new environment with little stress.

I am sure the Dlarah girls will find him a handsome, charming future beau. Grateful thanks to Halla for allowing her boy to undertake the long journey to Australia. I feel that this sort of collaboration between breeders is necessary to continue to diversify this breeds limited gene pool.

Draco's 1st year in Australian show rings proved to be highly successful with him taking out the Dogz on line 2006 Swedish Vallhund of the Year and 24th top working dog NSW. In addition to this in 2006 Draco took out 36 BOB awards and 323 challenge points, 5 Group Two awards, 2 Runner up to BISS, 14 Class in Group and 3 Class in Shows and 2 Royal BOB.
