Keryn Bardwell

Hi, I'm Keryn. I love dogs (obviously), iPhone Photography, learning about business & marketing (surprising even to me), and of course Chocolate. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dogs. Here's a little about mine.

Jaffa, Miki & I are devastated to announce that Zander passed away on 28.11.2023 - Forever loved and sorely missed

  • Apricot Toy Poodle

  • 7 years old

  • Rescue dog adopted in 2021 through Canine Lifeline Inc.

  • Enjoys attention from people, reserved with dogs until he knows them

  • Loves: chasing the ball, tug-o-war

  • Favourite activity: chasing the ball the whole walk if I would consent to throw it that long for him, though sometimes lazy about bringing it back

  • Chinese Crested Powder Puff

  • 8 years old

  • Rescue dog adopted in 2018 through Canine Lifeline Inc.

  • Reserved, in fact nervous, of strangers

  • Lap dog if you’ll let him

  • Loves: one on one toy play with Mum, going in the car

  • Favourite activity: “swimming” not in the water, just in the mud at the edge, and rolling around in chook poo

  • Quirks: can routinely be found relaxing in “downward dog” position and will “sing” along with Mum
