Hollycrest Index > Beginnings


Ron and Penny have been involved with the dog world since 1980, in both shows and retreiving trials. They still have a close connection to their previous breeds and clubs.

Hollycrest has been breeding English Springer Spaniels since 1996, commencing with the foundation bitch Ch. Wongan Secret Seraph (Holly) and producing a number of Australian Champions and one New Zealand Champion.

Showing has taken us through five countries. We began in Melbourne, Australia but because of an overseas work contract we have shown through Switzerland, Austria, Germany and France with Holly our first springer. See Holly and the Jet.

Returning to Australia we resumed showing and breeding. Had moderate success, highlighted by Bitch Challenge and RU Best of Breed at the Royal Melbourne Show.
