The keeper from Zeus and CeeCee’s second litter was the Spunky puppy so full of life her nickname was Punky Brewster. Try as we could we couldn’t call her anything else but Punky. She has a delightful outgoing personality and loves everyone.

Punky has done well in the show ring, titling by 13 months of age with multiple Best of Breeds and Class in Groups. But her future will hopefully be in Dog Sports. She just loves Lure Coursing and has taken to it like a duck to water. She is very agile and smart (if her ability to jump over fences and open baby gates is anything to go by), so I think Agility and Rally will be in her future too after her return from maternal duties.

Punky was desexed early 2023 and has re-entered the show ring in the Neuter class. She really enjoys going to shows with the young dogs again and as long as she enjoys it, I will keep showing her. She has won multiple Best Neuter in Shows and Runner up Neuter in Shows, as well as many Best Neuter & Runner Up Neuter in Groups. She is very close to her Neuter Grand Champion title

Punky has a wonder month in Brisbane in August 2023. At the RR National Show she wins the Neuter Best in Show. Later in the month at Lure Coursing she gains her Junior Coursing title.

Punky is really enjoying SprintDog. It's being a good sport for a retired Lure Coursing dog as she still gets to chase those bags. On 25 October 2024 she gained her Novice SprintDog title.

We did do Agility with Punky and she was working really well, unfortunately a Knee injury has kept me from trialling. Instead, we have now turned to more low impact sports for her handler - Scent Works and Trick Trials. She was entered in her first trials in November and has gained passes in Novice Interiors (x 2), Novice Vehicles (1) and Trick Dog Starters (1).
