We are a relatively small kennel, located in the south-eastern region of New South Wales (Australia), only half an hour north of Canberra. (Australian Capital Territory).

We have been involved in dogs now for 24 years, getting our first two Border Collies in late 1979 and early 1980, with the Border Collie being the only breed we could agree upon.

Between these two (Carrie and Ben) we became involved in showing, taking out several awards, and before long we were caught up in it all. Unfortunately we lost Carrie at a very young age, and she was soon replaced (though not forgotten) by Sophie and Magic. It is between these 2 girls and Ben that we have the foundations to our kennels.

As well as showing we became involved in obedience, agility, tracking and also herding. We moved onto our property where we live now (small, yet large enough) partly to give the dogs more space, as well as to have enough room to keep some sheep so the dogs could be trained in herding.

Although we had been 'aquainted' with Australian Cattle Dogs through several friends, it was not until 1988 that we were 'properly introduced'. It was then that Jodie came into our lives. Jodie came to us on the agreement that she was to be the only Cattledog that we would have, but this didn't last. She soon taught us about this great breed, and there were others to follow.

Over the years we have been involved in many aspects of the dogs, and the pups we have bred have gone to pet, show, obedience and working homes.

We both judge at international championship level. Leeanne judges only Border Collies while John judges Groups 2 (Terriers), 5 (Working dogs), 6 (Utility) and 7 (Non-sporting). Both have a long history working on many different clubs committees.

We have always attempted to give back as much as we received from our dogs and in doing so, we hope that both the Border Collie and Australian Cattle dog will benefit from this. With the help of other breeders and breed enthusiasts, the Border Collie and Australian Cattle Dog will always remain number one in whatever endeavour they compete in.
