We are a small family Kennel located in Rockhampton, Central Queensland. I have lived here all my life since immigrating
from England with my Mum when I was 5. My Hubby was born here, and has been an endless support to me and my dogs, being there
whenever needed BUT as he has always told me there is not enough money in this world to get him in the ring! so I doing the showing myself.
I purchased my first Sheltie in 1993, and went through a few "prospects" over the next 2 years until I was offered a 9 month old dog,
who I campaigned through to many Best In Show awards and his Grand Champion Title, he was my sweet Gr Ch Rokel Regal Gold.
I bred my first litter soon after this and have enjoyed every minute of my "Hobby" since.
From 1996-2007 we owned/operated a local Boarding Kennel, and after 10 years we sold and I cut back my numbers keeping only limited
dogs to take to our new home which is on a small acreage just outside of Rockhampton. I now work part time in the Banking Industry and
my Hubby works for Queensland Heath. We have one grown up Daughter.
These days I do not show as much as I used to, and prefer to show during the cooler months here in Hot, Central Queensland.
The highlight of my life with my dogs by far, happened in 2009 when I attended the 2009 Sheltie National,
I exhibited 3 dogs, Rosco, Candy and Flynn, and all 3 were award FIRST place in their respective class.
To have all 3 feature in the Dog and Bitch Challenge line up was fantastic, and for Flynn to take the Dog Challenge
and then onto Runner Up In Show ....... was the thrill of a lifetime for me !
Please enjoy your visit, leave your comments if you fancy in the guestbook to let me know you visited !

I love to get out in the Garden and have spent hours doing them up. We have a fully fenced
1/2 acre back yard for the dogs to run and play, with covered sleeping area and day runs.
