OUR BLOODLINES:-

 

 We  have endeavoured to have only top bloodlines in the stud; dogs that are beautifully natured, intelligent and talented. Our dogs bloodlines include,  Karana, Riana,   Avenpart, Stockmans , Harrisfarms, Karrawarra, Riverdale  and Barru Studs, plus many other famous working lines  in their ancestry.

 The progeny from these dogs carry some of the best available Australian Working genetics, to provide the total all round Working dog; plus the versatility for Agility, or as a Companion dog. We are very particular of the sires we use, with carefully planned matings.

 

We concentrate on breeding for Type, Temperament, Intelligence and Ability.
