In 1992 we purchased our first purebred "showdog" after dabbling in some Obedience with our AR Boxer.
The Shetland Sheepdog was the chosen breed and one we have never regretted. We have had a lot of fun showing these wonderful little dogs and have also done some  Obedience and Agility with them too, something they excel at .

Some years later we added an Australian Shepherd to our growing number of shelties, mainly so Doug would have a dog of his own to campaign. We have shown quite a few Aussies through to their titles now, mainly for other people.

Our children have also dabbled in the show scene........ both Tegan and Matt enjoying Junior handlers and taking the occasional dog into the Breed ring as well.

Matt in particular did really well with his Junior Handling , being placed 3rd in the State for his age group in both the Pal and RNSWCC competitions one year. Unfortunately, Matt no longer competes or even comes to dog shows any more . Wayyyy to embarrassing for a 16yr old !

Our daughter Tegan is moderately disabled but enjoys coming to the shows........ she is now 20 and has a delightful little Chihuahua of her own to show .

We consider ourselves to be responsible breeders and are very fussy about where our precious furkids go, once they leave the nest . We occasionally have adults or puppies for sale, but only produce litters that we hope will improve the breed ; NEVER for $$$$$. We health test wherever possible and regard temperament as a huge priority.

We hope you enjoy your visit to our site.
