OUR  BLOODLINES:-
When we expanded our Stud we were very conscience of keeping up the quality of our dogs. We now have more pups for sale from a variety of brood bitches, but have endeavored to have only top bloodlines in the stud; dogs that are
beautifully natured, intelligent and talented. This is the reason that we imported - Noonbarra Kora, Karana Scout, Karana Charm II and  recently we acquired Boanong Crystal also an Imported bitch.  The progeny from these imports carry some of the best available Australian genetics, to provide the total all round Working dog; plus the versatility for
Agility,  Companion dog or Search and Rescue work. We are very particular of the sires we use, with carefully planned matings, and usually the bitches have only one litter per year, so they whelp during the warmer months.
            We are concentrating on breeding for Type, Temperament, Intelligence  and Ability
