Home to Best in Show, Group winning and Best of Breed winning Australian Shepherds.
We are located in the Great North West on beautiful Whidbey Island.
We are a "hobby kennel" and remain small by choice. our focus is the quality of our dogs. We strive to have the ultimate Aussie, beauty, brains and versatility.
I have been in the dog show arena since 1980. My first breed was the beautiful Great Pyrenees. After getting married we decided we needed a breed that was smaller in size but retained the robust doggy dog personality we loved. The herding breeds have always been our favorites for their incredible brains and versatility not to mention their dashing good looks. We had German Shepherds for many years and when our last girl passed away we decided to down size a bit more and found the Australian Shepherd was the perfect breed for us and the rest is history...
