ABOUT US
We are Rob and Ann Ellis and we have had dogs our entire lives. My first show dog was a Belgian Tervuren back in 1998. I ended up with two of them. The first one, I picked was a puppy without seeing its home, with minimal to no health testing or OFA X-rays to ensure no dysplasia, they were kept in the garage or barn attachment. I did not educate myself or do much research on the breeder. He ended up having epilepsy at 11 months. It was very difficult, and costly, to keep him balanced during his life, but we did and we loved him greatly. He ended up dieing at age 11. The next Belgian Tervuren we purchased had ALL the health clearances. We researched his pedigree and went to the breeders house to make sure they were reputable. Since then we have been hooked on the herding breeds. I started showing my second Belgian at 6 months old and championed him at 14 months old. It devastated me when he died at the age of 12.
It did not take us long before we realized how empty life was without a dog on our heels following us around everywhere we went. So we set out to find another companion. We decided on the Aussie for a few reasons. Of course they are beautiful, we loved all the colors and their size fit our life perfectly. But what drew us to them most was their temperament and personality, and their loyal hearts. They are great with other family pets as well. We have goats, cats, and have had llamas with no problems from our aussies. They have a solid temperament, if raise well. You will not go wrong owning an Aussie.
If you can’t tell by our website, we are very passionate about our dogs and the Aussie breed.
We feel blessed by them every day.
