Daisy is a two-year old Miniature Dachshund from Bundaberg, Queensland. With over 31,000 loyal followers on her Instagram page, she is one of the most well-loved Dachshunds online. From the moment she entered her families lives, she has been the center of attention and has filled their hearts with more love than they could ever have imagined. A lot of pressure for a sausage to keep up with, right? Since then, she has been living a pampered life of eat, play, sleep, repeat. Her hobbies include sucking on her blanket, surfing at the beach, road trips, going out for brunch, barking at things for no reason and cuddling with her parents. But what she is known for most of all is her photographic talents. Daisy is a pro at working the camera and loves sharing new photos of her life and adventures with her amazing fans. She has featured in a cinema commercial, been a model for a number of highly reputable brands and stole the show as the flower girl at her parents wedding last year. Daisy is so excited to return to The Dog Lovers Show this year to strut her stuff on the red carpet and meet lots of new people. She hopes that this little sausage can give you a big smile!
Augie (short for Augustus) is a two year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi that lives in Brisbane with his humans, Ellen and Sam. While he’ll never admit it, Augie loves flaunting his wardrobe of costumes and bowties in front of the camera. His humans love getting shots of Augie and his hilarious expressions, whether it’s at the beach, the dog park or hanging out with some of his pals. Augie is fun-loving, food obsessed (particularly with the human food that he’s not allowed) and always down for an adventure.
We are giant dogs with many giant adventures to be had. Rocking the Insta scene since early 2016 we love to share our lives and adventures with all our followers, as long as we are outside hiking, at markets or walking with our fellow Instagram friends, we are living our best life. On the weekdays you can find us snoozing on the 8 seater couch leaving no room whatsoever for our mum.
Mocha was a rescue and came into my life when he was 10months old, when I got him I knew his personality was meant to give back so we signed up to a volunteer therapy dog team where we gave back for about 8months before that team shut down and I spoke to dog training friends and got them to start a new team that I mentored we did special school, nursing homes, events and more. His now in training as my assistance dog and is
This is Jax, he’s a 2 and a half year old Doberman. Take one look at his mug and I think you’ll agree that he’s a handsome young fella. Get to know him and you’ll see his cheeky side too… Everyone who meets him falls in love with his charm. Jax absolutely loves human affection and is highly skilled at getting loads of pats from total strangers. Some of his other skills include pulling big sooky faces to get treats from people and he has also mastered the art of stealing other dogs balls at the park. Unlike his owner, Jax loves being the centre of attention; he is a natural in front of the camera. His placid temperament and beautiful personality are helping to break down some of the negative stereotypes about Dobermans. Long trips in the car tend to bring out Jax’s whiney side, although he loves it once we arrive at the destination. Going on big adventure walks is one of Jax’s favourite things. He can be a little timid around water but he loves exploring in the bush as he gallops up and down the tracks venturing though the wilderness. When Jax is at home he plays big brother to his little fur-sister Meek, who is a little chocolate Burmese kitten. Each night they can be spotted snuggling up together keeping each other warm.
Kiba came from a surrendered litter of nine English Staffy x Kelpie puppies. We adopted her back in September 2016 when she stole our hearts from the moment we saw her. She later also stole our pillow and our bed. Kiba is a very active and social dog. Her gorgeous smile and beautiful nature landed her the role of RSPCA QLD ‘Furbassador’. Every day, we share her life and adventures on Instagram to create positive awareness around bully breeds, and to encourage people to choose to adopt and rescue a life. We are so thankful for the love and joy that Kiba brings to us and many around!
Two golden English cocker spaniels living their best life and sharing it with their 60k Insta family. Charlie and Frankie are total fashionistas and natural born models. They can be seen out and about catching up with friends, hitting their favourite brunch spots and hanging in the sunshine drinking puppycinos. They absolutely love to swim and are total beach babes. They are sweeter than honey and have so much love to give, they’re like big real life teddy bears!
Odie is a 2 year old Alaskan Malamute with an Instagram that sits at around 11,000 followers. Weighing in at 50kg, Odie doesn’t do anything small and his big personality is no exception. He loves to announce his presence wherever he goes, and can’t seem to last more than 10 minutes without reminding everybody that HE is the centre of attention! His hobbies include swimming, squeaker toys, play dates, barking at cats, off lead adventures and driving his Mum & Dad up the wall. If his Mum had a dollar for every time he was called a husky, she would be rich! There is never a dull moment when Odie is around, and that’s just the way he likes it. 
Maluka and Avalon are two media savvy, well-trained and exemplary miniature dachshunds. These two gorgeous girls rose to fame in 2016 when they appeared at the 2016 ARIA awards meeting many notable celebrities on the red carpet. The girls adore being dressed and posting for the camera appearing in countless magazines and best dressed competitions from Brisbane to Melbourne. Amongst this glamorous life, the girls very graciously accepted the role of ambassadors for Dachshund Rescue Australia.
George is the biggest personality in the smallest package! One could call him a people dog, he loves to go to the dog park but doesn’t want to dog, instead will sit on the bench and watch everyone else go ballistic. The other love of his is food and for anyone following him, they would know he would do ANYTHING for it. Some of his quirkiest expressions and mannerisms occur because there is some sort of treat involved!
With over 92,000 followers on both Instagram and Facebook, Daisy Rey is a must see pooch. She has been seen multiple times on sites like UNILAD, LADBible and The Dodo. Her life is one of luxury, consisting of puppychinos, belly rubs, and goes pretty much wherever her human Dad does. Don’t let her cute little face fool you! She also loves to throw sass around like it’s confetti.
With over 50,000 loyal followers Maxie is one of the cutest Corgi cross without a tail on Instagram. Maxie stands out because of his fetching cool looks, unique ears, squinting eyes and happy smile. Maxie is always ready for a run with his fur daddy Scooby who lives 10 minutes away from Maxie’s humans related family. Scooby is a fox terrier and so was his fur mommy so we have no idea how Maxie turned out the way he did but he did pick up their fetching good looks. Maxie’s life revolves around running around on the beach he hates getting wet but he loves chasing the waves and his tennis balls and starring in his reality TV show on Instagram’s new platform the IGTV named (The Real HousePets of Gold Coast) which is also trademarked. Just because Maxie does not have a tail it does not mean he finds it hard to show that he is happy but that is ok because he loves kisses and cuddles and will jump around like a bunny rabbit for attention which he gets all the time.
Shogun and Hugo are two naughty puppies who will use their cute faces to get away with anything. I think what makes our page unique is the photos and captions are always funny or witty. Hugo is a non stop ball of energy. From the moment he wakes up to the moment he sleeps he drops the ball at our feet wanting to play. Shogun is a bit of a snob, he doesn’t really like to play but loves stealing cuddles, probably because he grew up around two little Maltese’s and now thinks his a little dog, hence the Instagram handle. My favourite thing about these dogs is their trust in me, they are so easy to take photos of I could literally put them in any position and they would stay there until I’m done taking photos. Unless Hugo has a ball, then photo time is pretty difficult. The story of how we got both dogs is quite funny, feel free to come and ask.
This is our second appearance at the Dog Lovers Show Brisbane, we are so excited to be back this year! Big ted, as you can see is larger than life, in every sense of the saying! He looks large, he drools large, he eats large, he sheds large and he poo’s large. We have been on a steady incline with Teds followers, now with 16 thousand followers Big Ted would have to be the most famous and loveable English Mastiff In Australia. Being the epitome of a gentle giant, this big guy loves everyone and everything…. except for large plush mascots which we noticed last year at the show, and bikes, he has a strong distaste for the 2 wheelers teds hobbies include sleeping, resting, drooling, napping, slobbering, snoring and howling at every siren he hears 😂 We have been told that dogs howl at sirens because the pitch is very similar to dog’s howl, so naturally Ted being the friendliest dog on the block he wants to say ‘G-Day’, to all the service vehicles. Uncommonly he doesn’t love long walks, he would much prefer to be walked to a close park stopping at every tree, bush and pole for a good sniff and then having a nice nap on arrival to the park… Despite his size this guy is a true chivalrous gentleman, nothing sways his friendly disposition despite the many failed trips to dog parks where people scatter with their dogs as soon as he arrives. Big Ted is the most loveable and loyal dog around, he loves his humans, pigs ears, zoomies, big sniffs and naps.
It’s hard being this good looking! In fact when his mum first laid eyes on him she came up with his namesake – Beau – which means handsome. Being a Dalmatian, Beau has a lot of energy, he loves attention and is described as being the ‘class clown’, always making us laugh. To put his energy to good use Beau participates in sporting such as Lure Coursing and Sled Dog Racing, but at the end of the day he wants nothing more than to come inside and cuddle up on the couch with his family.
Taco is an Aussie Bulldog that spends his days trying to find the spotlight between his Frenchie sisters! With over 23k followers Taco, Prada and Gucci go everywhere with their pawrents and love nothing more then snuggling, playing and being cheeky together for the worlds enjoyment
Poet is a 3-year-old Italian Greyhound who loves a snoot-selfie. In her free time Poet loves to chomp carrot, destroy plush toys and zoom from couch to couch. Don’t be fooled by her skinny legs, she would give Usain Bolt a run for his money. Poet is addicted to sunbaking, warmth and needs her onesie pajamas in wintertime to combat the chilliness. This goofy girl loves life and is definitely counting down the minutes until dinner time at 5pm on the DOT!
Maisie the Mini Dach may be short in stature but she sure is big in personality! A social butterfly since day one, this loveable girl enjoys nothing more than heading to the local dog park to play with dog friends and steal free human pats! When she’s not at the dog park, you will find her at home showing love and affection to both her toys and humans. In between her adventures, Maisie always finds time to strike a pose for the camera but performs best when treats are involved!
They may be small but you cannot underestimate this dynamic duo Bangaz and Moose are two handsome snags from Brisbane. When they’re not on adventures with their massive squad they’re happy to be spend the day on the couch napping cuddled up to their mum. Moose is the cheekiest when it comes to food, his eyes are always on the prize and if you look away you’ll lose your lunch. Moose is a rescue pup who just turned 5 and is well and truly now living his best life with his mum and brother Bangaz. Bangaz has been stealing hearts since he was a puppy, he can be a little shy at first but once he’s out of his shell he’s a crazy little sausage and knows exactly how to have you wrapped around his little paws with his gorgeous face. Bangaz and Moose love posing for the camera (especially for treats) and have a wardrobe that could rival the Kardashians.
With close to 9000 followers, Willow is well known among her loyal followers for her admirable wardrobe and beach bum lifestyle. Willows hobbies include dress ups, going to Bunnings, walkies, treaties and cuddles. Willow is happiest around her humans, where she loves to climb all over them to give them snuggles… sometimes she even sits on their face just to show how much she loves them.
