Nank was purchased from Westlington Kennels, owned and run by Anne Purnell and her husband Terry. The kennels are situated in Ballingup, Western Australia.

Nank's debut into the show world was on 7th February, 1999 at a Bunbury Dog show where he won Best Junior Dog and Best of Breed .

First and foremost, Nank is my companion. He is loved to death and has wormed his way into the affections of everyone he meets. He is a "talker" and will chat with anyone willing to listen to him.

Nank's other hobbies include crabbing, obedience (he managed 93 out of 100 in his first grading) and Agility Training.

As 2001 begins Nank is at home helping to prepare our first litter of puppies for their show debut.
