A little about us
l began with our first Australian Shepherd in 2007. They were just the most wonderful dogs and instantly we were “hooked”. It was through Andrea we acquired our first Aussie and as they say like jellybeans, you can not stop at one.
Why we got involved in breeding
Breeding selections are carefully made in order to improve type, temperament and structure as well as aiming for the best. We breed to improve our own lines and the future, not only to sell pets.
Our special touch
We show our dogs in the conformation ring with much success and even have titled dogs across various disciplines including herding, endurance and obedience and more recently Scentworks .
