About us
I grew up surrounded by dogs, travelling the country with my mum, showing and breeding Chihuahuas and Rough Collies. It was in my late teens that I was invited to judge my first show, which resulted in numerous appointments including judging at Breed Club Shows.
Later, with a growing family, we continued to have dogs as family pets who accompanied us on our travels.
As my family became more independent, I turned my attention back to competing, but this time focusing on obedience, agility and Flyball.
It wasn't until 2016 that I came across my first Miniature American Shepherd and fell in love with the breed. It was only a year later when our first MAS joined the family.
Our dogs are firstly and foremost family pets and because we enjoy competing with them, puppies will only occasionally be available.
