Gretel - “ Fernfall The Sound of Music “
Gretel has come to Longwood to join the Wakunpa team in 2019.
Cheecky and confident girl bred by Jane Fall of Fernfall Golden Retrievers. Feeling very honoured to have this girl with an amazing Pedigree and looking forward to sharing her journey.
Started her showing career at 3 months and already making her mark, taking out second in baby puppy sweepstakes and baby puppy in group on her second outing. Gretel went on in 2019 to achieve Puppy in Show and GRCV Championship Show and qualify for Dogs Victoria Puppy of the year where she did not disappoint and made it through the first 2 rounds. Well on her way to her Championship Title though interrupted significantly by COVID 19 putting a stop to dog shows
Gretel was sired by the lovely Aust. Ch. Acacian Gamechanger (Reggie) owned by Carol Hobbelen to the very special Aust. Ch Chaleur Primadonna. Both her parents have many Australian and international champions behind them as well as the awesome Golden Retriever temperament.
A lot of the pictures below are with her brother Freddy - “ Fernfall Bohemian Rhapsody “

2020
Seems Gretel is set to make her mark in 2020, winning her first 🌟Best of Breed 🌟 in February and several bitch challenges to gain points toward her Australian Champion Title ( half way in 5 weeks of competition)
Unfortunately COVID 19 interrupted her momentum several times but sure this young lady has a bright future and when she returns to Competition will continue to achieve, great journey so far.
Gretel had her first litter December 2021, producing the lovely Audrey and another is planned for February 2023
