Zeke

Zeke is, quite simply, the King of the House — and very importantly, the boy who started it all. He is the dog who sparked our passion and set us on the journey that eventually became Hueze Kennels. Sweet, devoted and completely convinced that everything in the world belongs to him, Zeke has never been one to underestimate his own importance. And really… who are we to argue with the King?

He loves nothing more than following his humans around the house, keeping a close eye on everything that is happening and making sure he is never far from the action. He is clever, eager to learn and always happy to show off a new trick or two. Walks are another favourite, although these days his most important role is perhaps his newest one — babysitter! In his retirement from the show ring, Zeke has happily taken on the job of keeping an eye on Joshua, a responsibility he takes very seriously.

Before retirement, Zeke made his mark in the show ring in a rather spectacular way. One of the most decorated Finnish Lapphunds in Australia, he has won an incredible 10 All Breeds Best in Shows, along with multiple Specialty wins, and continues to proudly hold this record. His show career gave us memories and achievements we will treasure forever, but it is the dog behind the ribbons who means the most to us.

Zeke is our pride, our foundation and, above all, our heart dog. He started a dream that has grown into something we could never have imagined, and we will forever be grateful that he chose us. The King may be enjoying retirement these days, but around here, his crown is firmly in place.
