*******************************
Our family consists
of my husband Wayne, myself and our 3
children...daughters, Melinda & Rebecca
and son Matthew...We breed on a limited
basis as we like to keep our numbers
down so that we can have our shelties in
and about the house as much as possible.
Our babies are born and raised in our
home so that they are well socialized
before they go to their new families. As
we live in suburbia and have limited
space we occasionally have adults
available on a spay or neuter agreement.
I first
met this delightful breed in the mid
1970's when attending the Sydney
Royal Easter Show with our Collies and
we were hooked. We purchased our first
sheltie
Dancerwood Don
Paco CDX
'Ben' in 1979 and
he became my constant companion for
nearly 17yrs.
In 1996
after losing both 'Ben'
and his mate 'Kody'
Multi BIS,BISS
Aust Ch. Glendallo Golden Shades
(my favourite
collie) within 2 weeks of each other, I
decided to concentrate solely on my
gorgeous shelties, even though we still
had two lovely blue merle collies,
BIS/BISS Aust Ch.
Cathkin Petticoats Aflyn
(co-owned
by Rebecca and G.Jones)
and her only & very special son, the
future
BISS/RUBISS Aust
Ch. Cathkin Wintertainment
(owned by Rebecca).
(Both have now also crossed over
the bridge)
We have
been lucky enough to have owned and/or
Bred 25 Champions .7 collie rough
Champions,4 of who were Best in Show
winners including **BEST
EXHIBIT in SHOW**
at 1987
Collie National,18 Shetland Sheepdog
Champion/Obedience titles, 4 of who are
Best in Show winners.
2002
saw us start a new phase in Shelties
with the importation of
'Can Ch.
GrandGables Zulu Warrior'
from the world famous
'GrandGables
Kennels'
in Canada. We are VERY grateful
to Guy & Mark for allowing this lovely
sheltie to join our family.
2006
we also had the pleasure of
importing another gorgeous sheltie
"Dawnville
Ashes In The Wind"
from Marcella Koenen
"Dawnville
Shelties"
in The Netherlands.. another
decision we do not regret, even though I
know how very hard it was for Marcella
to let 'Aspen' go!
Our
youngest daughter Rebecca has been very
successful in her own right along with
the Collies she handled for us she has
done extremely well with her chosen
breeds showing 6
American Cocker Spaniels & 2 whippets
through to their Australian Championship
including
Aust Gd Ch.
Merriyank Black Ina Flash
'Kaos' who is her favourite
dog in the world became a Grand Champion
and a Multiple Best In Show winner.

On the 5th
February 2005 we welcomed a new member
to our family when Rebecca married
Warren and both Wayne & I are sure they
will have a very long happy life
together.
