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 dear 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 small acreage, just outside of Rockhampton.
I now work part time in the Banking Industry and my Hubby in Qld 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, taking 3 dogs and
having all 3 place FIRST in their Class, and then my 19 month old Home Bred boy,
Ch Shatrin Saints B Praised went on to win the Dog Challenge & Reserve Exhibit in Show.
I envisage bringing in new bloodlines, and new hopefuls over the coming months.

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.
