Liashasue Australian Shepherds, CROFTERS VALLEY

I got involved with the Australian Shepherd in 2004 after seeing my first Aussie at training. Back then, the Aussie was a relatively new breed in the country. The breed has become very popular and more and more of them are being seen around the county.

All my Australian Shepherds are family pets and much loved members of the family. I will only ever have a number of dogs that I am able to cope with and am able ot provide for all their needs. My Aussies are all “inside” dogs and they will never be “kennel” dogs.

I do not have a litter very often but when I do have a litter it is usually because I may want to keep a pup out of the litter for myself. When I have a litter of puppies, the puppies they are also raised inside the house as part of the household and are introduced to most normal household noises and learn how to interact with my other dogs prior to leaving for their new homes.. I will only ever have as many Australian Shepherds as I feel we can cope with and that I am able to still give them the attention and exercise they need and deserve as much loved pets.

Although I no longer compete, all my Aussies excelled in competitive obedience, dog jumping and agility whilst we were competing in both agility and, Agility and Dog Jumping. We are still active in the conformation ring where I exhibit my dogs and am also a KUSA accredited breed judge.
