Sex: Stud (Male)

Whelped: 28 November 2011 - Mid 2023

Status: Retired Stud Dog (frozen semen)

Snowey River Rain Spirit (Sire) x Sovereign Park Sapphire (Dam)

Zulu was imported from Australia as our first import to expand the gene pool in New Zealand, he was a beautiful long-coat White Swiss Shepherd and had the sweetest nature one could wish for. He was a very laid back boy who loved his hugs and kisses.

He accompanied us to every Auckland Pet and Animal Expo from 2012 until 2023 where he was the star of the show. Children of all ages would throw their arms around him, hug him, lay on him and he always took it all in his stride.  Not only did he accompany us to pet expos but he was also assessed as a therapy dog with Canine Pet Therapy in 2014 and passed with flying colours, we spent many hours visiting two rest homes over a period of nine years, bringing joy to many of the old folk. 

Unfortunately we were faced with the hardest (but kindest) decision we could make for him in June of 2023 after he was left with partial paralysis due to an aggressive cancer. We said our goodbyes 5 months before his 14th birthday.

​

We have bred some beautiful puppies from him with a number of different bitches and still have frozen semen from him in storage for anybody considering an A/I with their bitch.

​

Many thanks to Karin Scholz of Sovereign Park, Australia for this magnificent boy.
