LOUANDA

SHETLAND SHEEPDOGS

It is now nearly thirty years since Sue purchased her first sheltie in the UK, purely as a pet. Having being talked into mating her and duly going along to a nearby kennel, I saw what shelties were supposed to look like. I completely fell in love with a litter brother and sister sired by 'Ch.Greenscrees Nobleman'. They were beautiful little golden sables with fantastic temperaments, hence my love affair with goldens began.

When we moved to Australia two years later my 'Nobleman' daughter was sadly left behind. It has been one of my greatest regrets that we did not bring her with us.

Since then we have nearly always had shelties, venturing into Collies and a couple of other breeds but always staying with Shelties. Numbers had always been small and showing on an even smaller scale whilst my family was younger.

Quality has always been of paramount importance and with this in mind, four Shelties have been imported from England over the years.

Sue has gained a judging licence for Group 5 (working breeds) and Group 1 (toys) at CHAMPIONSHIP level, and is also a trainee judge in the Non-Sporting Group.

Now, with my daughter Karen interested in showing too, numbers have crept up and we do more showing than ever before.

Most of the dogs are handled by Karen, Pictured below Karen handling one of our dogs.
