Wirrabilla
Terrabella Border Collies and Mini Schnauzers live 30 km out of Dubbo on a sheep and cattle property. My long suffering husband loves the dogs as I do and has shared my adventures. Most of my Border collies have been working dogs with both sheep and cattle and display wonderful herding instinct.

Terrabella Border Collies owe so much to Jocelyn Cansdell of Myrmidon Jack Russells. Jocelyn was my best friend and mentor. She taught me so much about showing and what to expect. She loved my Border Collies and supported me through the puppy to Best in Show awards. I miss Jocelyn and her support tremendously and will never forget her and her dogs. She was a true friend and partner in the dog world.

Nahrof Border Collies have provided many of my dogs. Ticket whom you will learn about in future pages is my household friend. He claims fame with both grand champion and overseas champion siblings; but his claim to fame has been his herding ablity, his devotion to us and his strength on now one back leg… my hero complete. Nahrof have not disappointed me in what they have sent a country stud and of course Strider has been my A1 friend and winning dog. To Lauren , Errol and Joy I can never thank you enough for my dogs, my loves and companions, for Nahrof’s  support and ongoing partnership.

We also have begun showing in the cat world with the fabulous silver burmillas, check the links page

Over the years I have developed a love of schnauzers. Schonhardt Minature schnauzers with Marelyne in control has helped me start in the world of schnauzers which are still in the development stage.
