My first Aussie [Keno] came to me in 1991. He was our farm dog with an ASCA obedience title. In 1995 I got my first conformation bitch, Carolina's Glory Be [Morgee] from Terri Morgan.
Well the old saying "One Aussie is never enough" is very true.
I have done obedience, herding, conformation, and now agility with my Aussies. I have so much fun with all of my dogs, and I have meet so many great people since I have got into showing and trialing Aussies.
My husband Denny and I live in Newberg, Oregon on a small farm. We have cattle, ducks and sheep and the rest that Old McDonald's farm had. We love all of our animal family. I am very lucky that Denny goes along with all of my wants with the dogs. He helps by building all of the equipment and kennels, or anything else that we need.
I feel that all of my Aussies have a job of some kind. They can do everything that I ask for and then more. They are everything I could ever want from a dog. I just don't have enough time to do all I would like to do with these great dogs.
