About Us   

Kislev is a small kennel striving for excellence and quality.
My first love was German Shepherds. The very first to enter out home was Shantali Alanta, "Sheba" in 1976 as a Christmas present to Reg and Myself in the first year of our marriage. Sheba left us in 1984, the void of her loss filled with the arrival of Forstwald Eclipse, "Shanny". The breeders of Shanny talked me into becoming a member of the CCC, and so in 1984 I began my show career and my Kennel Prefix KISLEV was born. I also became an active member of the Hervey Bay Kennel and Obedience Club. Shanny's show career was cut short by injury so here entered her litter sister Ember, who I showed with some success. Ember produced a couple of nice litters, from her first litter I kept Kislev Sioux, "Lacey" who produced three nice litters, she was not a world better in the ring but a loved family pet. Then along came "BJ" Aus Ch Pringeuri Knockout "A" who was a constant In Group and In Show winner, BJ continued his winning ways right up until he was 10 years, it was a very sad day in the Bell household when BJ left us on August 10, 2000, he was 12 and half. I also showed and titled one of BJ's daughters Aus Ch Ketemarae Echos Elaura.

Enter the Beagles, in 1993, with the arrival of "Bindy", Castaulan Rosemary at the age of 7 months. Bindy was sold to a pet home, but through no fault of hers things did not work out, so to the rescue the Bell's. Bindy was entered into her very first show, an Open, just 3 weeks after coming to us. the judge Mr Ian Rassmussen was very impressed with her, as new handlers of Beagles and he, having had Beagles, gave us some pointers and everything went from there. At this show Bindy received Best of Breed, Reserve in Group, Minor in Group and Minor in Show, this was the start of many In Group and In Show wins. Bindy gained her Title at the tender age of 13 months. Not bad for a pet and gaining her title with some big Challenges along the way. Bindy produced our very first home bred champion Aus Ch Kislev Amelee who produced Aus Ch Kislev Casey Jones, Aus CH Kislev Cagney and Lacey, Aus Ch Kislev Dee and Aus Ch Kislev Duchess Kiara. Casey has produced 3 Champions, Kiara to date has produced 5, Dee, 2 with another close. Kiara's son Jack, Aus Ch Kislev Gambling Man has exceeded all our dreams and to date he has sired over 20 litters, for 8 Champions and 11 being shown for points, 4 of which are very close to their title.

The future of Kislev Beagles looks promising with some lovely litters planned in the fourth coming years, especially from the imported semen of "Parker" Am Ch Windkist A Walk In The Park, sire of the famous "Uno" K-Run's Park Me in First the BIS winner at Westminster Kennel Club 2008. A journey I am looking forward to with great pleasure as the future of this wonderful little dog, the Beagle, is what matters and should matter to all responsible breeders and pet owners.
