Rusty is the much loved companion of Katie Rowse and lives in Karratha in the North West of Western Australia - a region known as the "Pilbara" hence his name. 

Originally purchased as a pet Katie began showing Rusty as something to do before he was old enough to compete in performance events.  Rusty has performed very well indeed and is completed his title prior to his 5th birthday despite having limited opportunities as there are so few shows held in their area.

He is a multi Best in Group and Class in Show winner.  At the recent FeNaClNG All Breed Championship shows in August 06 Rusty was awarded Runner Up Best In Show!!
