Shepalian

Shepalian came into exsistance in the early 1980's when we started breding from our Boxers and Jack Russells.
John then started to work the first of his German Shepherds (Dee). Which we Showed and worked in Working Trials gaining a Reserve Ticket first time in ticket.. Cressie gained T.Dex and CJ W.Dex.
In 1990 we met our first Aussie and we were hooked. We joined the Aussie Club to find out more about the breed and in 1994 Asha joined us from Marg and Keith Beastall with Jazz following 6 months later.
Asha worked up to T.Dex in Trials and gained many Best of Breed at Championship Shows. Did Demonstrations for Schools,Charitys and Scouts and still had time to do some Obedience and Agility.
Passed her Good Citizen at 9 months.

We still miss this very lovely Bitch but her children, grand children and great grand children are keeping the flag flying showing that they can work as well as show.
John and I are deverstated at the loss of Jazz (Gefion Cepheid) at 13 years 6 months. Until the end she was very much the boss of the house. Always kind and a real pleasure to live with. She has left us a legacy in her children and granchildren.

Mason has just qualified to go into T.Dex (Ticket) at Surrey Working Trial under judge Richard Cornwall and will come out in T.Dex.

Toffee was the puppy nobody wanted so we decided to run him on. Like his dad he has the most superb temperament. Nothing bothers him, he is so easy to show any body can handle him. He has an excellent show record having many wins and placings at championship and open shows.
Toffee like most of our dogs is worked, we hope to bring him out in trials later in the year, he is showing great promise. His sister Pillow Talk has already got her C.Dex and came 3rd at Surrey and U.D and came 1st at Hampshire Trial and has just Won W.Dex at Surrey.
His other sister Sweet Dreams is doing well in Agility and has had several 1st in the show ring. Kimba is doing well in obedience and has started working trials gaining his C.D., Kimba has also done well in Open and Championship Shows.
Toffee and Kimba both just failed to get their C.Dex first time out at Wessex Working trial.

Although we are a very small kennel we have had Aussies for over 15 years. Non of our Dogs live in kenels or crates and live in the house as part of our family. We have 2 acres of land for them to play in with many miles of forest tracks on our door step. The coast is only 15 minutes away and they love to swim in the sea. Our aim is to produce dogs that can do a days work wether in obedience, trials or agility but can still be Shown with success. We do training for Working Trials at Chudleigh and at Upottary on a regular basis. We are happy to receive visitors at any time to see our Aussies and our very laid back GSD.
