Just a bit
about how Inneslake began!
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.
The Hedge family.
