Welcome to my web page. .................................................................................................. We have been involved with this lovely breed for more than 30 years. Originally not interested in showing or breeding as we had a young family and a business which kept us busy. We fell in love with shelties and purchased one as a pet for our then young children. Eventually as our children grew older, we were talked into exhibiting by another breeder and we have been having loads of fun ever since. Our dogs are firstly our pets and part of our family, then they are show dogs. Although we do not go to shows every weekend,we have had much success over the years with many Best In Show Winners at All Breeds level and Speciality level. We have a total of 21 champions to our credit plus multi obedience title holders. We compete in the Sydney metropolitan area against top competition at major shows. One of the biggest thrills for us was winning The 5th National Shetland Sheepdog Show held in Victoria, 1997 . It was a record entry and our "Gr. Ch. Daydream Darien" took out Dog Challange and Runner Up Best Exhibit In Show and Opposite Sex In Show from the Junior Class. He was just 15 months old . The youngest sheltie to win this award to date. He also won Pal Puppy of The Year and is the only sheltie to do this in NSW . We are extremely proud of our dogs achievements over the years. Some have created breed history with awards that still stand to this day. We hope you enjoy looking at our extended family from the past to the present day. The breed. Shelties are a very versatile dog. The right size for the smaller back yard and easy to pop in the car and take everywhere with you. Originally bred on the Shetland Isles for herding and guarding the sheep, these days they make the perfect family companion. They are very easily trained and excel in obedience and agility. Always wanting to please their owners makes them a sheer delight to have around. Their coat is very easily managed with a good brush once a week.
Our dogs eat and recommend Advance.
