Info

Who were they? This image was sent to challenge ‘The Aussie’ to find out a bit more. Normally there is lots about the owners and not so much about the dogs. Unusually, we have found out more about the dogs featured than the owners. This image from a newspaper printed in 1913 shows a couple of Australian Terriers. Their names are Graham Vanguard and Graham Princess. The owner is listed as a Mr A Dean, so we might assume the lady posing with them may be related. The breeder was based in South Yarra, Victoria. Vanguard’s sire was Tich and dam was Nell. We know shortly acer the photo was taken at the Australian Ladies Kennel Club Show, Mr G H Tro2 approached Mr G F Barnard suggesDng that he buy Vanguard. Mr Barnard was the Secretary of the South Australian BriDsh Terrier Club at this Dme. He did so and also he bought Graham Madge (Tarago Bob ex Tarago Betsy), a bitch from the same kennel. She conDnued to be shown and became a Champion. We know the 2 were bred in 1916. It was ocen reported that Vanguard’s children had gone on to be successful and produce winning pups as well. A well known judge of this era described Vanguard as a typical Australian Terrier as the only dog that I have seen benched with a true coat, namely, straight hair of wiry texture. The majority seen on the benches, my own included, bare a tendency to be sort in coat. He owns a splendid long, bold head, with a fiat skull, best of small pricked ears, good clean, long neck, with a nice frill; his body properDes comply well with the standard; his legs and feet leave li2le to be desired, they in his case being light in tan. He is a Terrier from Dp to stem, and a gamer dog never stood on four legs. Vanguard became a Champion in 1914 and was at stud. He sired a number of li2ers with bitches including Malvern Biddy, Malvern Rosee, Malvern Duchess and Glenside Griff, One pup from Griff was sent to a Mr J Trenoweth in Ceylon. In 1918 the offer of a very substanDal price has tempted Mr: H G. Barnard to part with Vanguard to Mr L Lightbody of Brisbane. It was believed that this type of dog would help improve the quality of Aussies in that State.
Becky Howell and Bella have achieved more success with agility. They won 1st place in the TAG compeDDon for dogs of their size. Success Stories Becky and Bella had a successful day at the Jumping Competition as well. Proof that an Aussie can really run and jump fast when it chooses to do so.
