Working Dog Club of Tasmania 2026
The Working Dog Club of Tasmania shows are one of my favourite days on the show calendar, but with Liina deciding to come into season six weeks early, I turned to Benni and asked him if he would like to come out for one last spin. Because bouncing around the ring for nuggets is one of his favourite things to do, he agreed.

Thank you to both Working Dog specialists who recognised that even at nearly 12, he still looks great and moves well. And to everyone who congratulated us and commented on Benniโs excellent condition.
Thank you to the WDCT committee for a great day and to BellePaker@Homes and BlackHawk for your generous sponsorship, which certainly added to the lovely atmosphere.
Thank you Alicia Adamopoulos Alicia Creative - Photography, for capturing what was most likely our final time in the ring together.
And of course, the biggest โthank youโ goes to Benniโs breeder and co-owner, Jacqualine Lincoln, who took a risk and entrusted him to this newbie (to the breed) nearly 10 years ago.
