Early Airedales in Queensland
Ch Cotswold Play Boy of Orion
The information below was published in the Canine Stud Books of Australia which ran from 1922 through to 1945, when World War Two ended. During the period the Stud Books were published, 732 Airedales from all over Australia were registered including 11 UK imports, 2 New Zealand imports. and an influx from several well known Victorian Kennels of that time as well as a few from NSW.
It appears that inclusion in the Canine Stud Books of Australia was available to dogs registering their dogs from other States. Researching was voluntary. Additionally, kennel names were sometimes used as prefixes, sometimes as suffixes, sometimes the same kennel name was used by different people and sometimes when a dog was purchased from another kennel, the buyer's rather than the breeder's prefix appears. However, below is a summary of what I could glean from this published information.
After World War 2, the Queensland Stud Books ceased to be published. However in 1945,1946 and 1947 Year Books were produced, with registration numbers recommencing. Ch Cotswold Play Boy of Orion (pictured) appropriately had registration number one as he was the sire or grandsire of the several litters registered over the next 2 years. However, in 1947 the resurgence of Airedales began with these 4 from Victoria. Snowy Rhodes sent Renegade of Rhodesia (half-brother of his famous 'Rebel') and Roslyn of Rhodesia and J T Howat sent Warradale Marheretta all to Baxter McCarthy and Rhodesia Ringmaster (by 'Rebel') to Miss K Hughes. However, there is a gap in the information available about Airedales in Queensland until Robert Grannum founded his Bajan prefix in 1974
Back to the Queensland Stud Books 1922 - 1945, unless otherwise stated, in my summary below a litter was recorded as such here if 2 or more progeny of the same birthdate and parentage were registered to the same person.
