Howdy!! Just in case you might be interested in the person behind this web site, let me introduce myself beyond simply being a name. I can now claim to be a part of the over 60 crowd...seen Elvis, been to Woodstock, grew up on Long Island, N. Y. and in my 20's crossed to the 'other' coast to California.
October 1999 was another big change as my husband retired and we moved to a beautiful area of SW Washington. We now live on 5 acres so we can truly say 'we've gone to the dogs' Dogs have always been an important part of my life...the very first dog show I attended was the Westminster Show in the early 60's.
First breed I was involved with for showing was the Alaskan Malamute and I still admire the breed greatly. Now we have a more "wash and wear" breed by living with Australian Cattle Dogs....truly a breed 'not for everyone' as they can be a very high energy dogs that need and want to be mentally and physically active. Yet are adaptable to live in most home situations, as long as they are exercised and walked daily and kept mentally stimulated.
Come on in and meet my dog family, dogs that we bred and some of their owners, current and future breeding plans, and links that may be of help in learning more about the breed. Thank you for stopping by and do bookmark our website and visit when you can.
