GOOD NEWS; with all the discussion on optical testing of Border Collies Strider passed all of these tests at the Carlinford clinic, with flying colours in Dec 2009

Rain, Rain , rain..I can have a garden again!!!!! Well a border collie proof garden….!!!135ml, wonderful but it has been sooo dry here no flood. Some dams full,  some 2/3rds, a lovely Christmas present. the dogs did not even want o go under shelter they played and lolled in the rain, their dry coats sucked up the moisture and many dogs look black and brown!! but they have had fun. A big relief for the cattle, Rob is pleased.

Thank you to all those people who have given our dogs such wonderful homes. We have a huge demand for our puppies and most pups are sold before they are born, it is difficult to discern between the half hearted and the committed and we do our best by our pups, they are our first concern, a wonderful New Year to all Terrabella owners and their dogs which own them!!!!

Border collies are a breed with many attributes, first and foremost is temperament and hopefully our dogs have that number one, they can be companions, agility, obedience, fly ball, herding, working, dancing and show dogs. No one activity is more important than the next, it is an individual thing .. We strive to breed beautiful companion dogs above all else. We are very conscientious of breed standards and health issues..plus we show our dogs and have always been prepared to show our dogs against all in many different areas under local and international judges, but we work them with sheep as well.. they are dogs first and foremost, and what we decide to do with them is a human attribute not the dogs, they just want our love and affection. So we want great homes for our dogs, not winning accolades..though that is a bonus!!!!

We do not export to Asia so please don’t ask, we don’t wish to offend. No pups will be held without a deposit, that way we know you are really serious. Please if you have questions talk to us.

We have been in lock down with little water, catastrophic fire alerts and our commitment to the bushfire brigade. We hope, weather and health permitting to return to the show scene 2010.

Our beautiful young male Lincoln has been very sick after a grass seed travelled through his body, after 2 weeks at the vet, operations and constant antibiotics via drip he is now home, clipped and thin. His show career will be on hold for many months whilst he makes a full recovery. So disappointing but so glad he is with us still.

Please come into our website meet our beautiful dogs and enjoy them as we do, without these dogs there would be no website and our lives would be very empty!
