My love with dogs begun being raised with Old English Sheepdogs.
When I first left home at 20, I became involved in rescue dog shelters. I worked in fostering ex-breeding “puppy farmed” adult dogs, which had absolutely no socialisation whatsoever. This was a very heart breaking experience to witness the suffering ‘puppy farmed’ breeding dogs were being subjected to, most often forgotten about or discarded once no longer could produce well.
Through this I began my journey in obedience, training and grooming. I worked from scratch with these dogs, taming and preparing them, and successfully transitioning them into new homes as much loved companions and family pets.
After some time I yearned for my very own dog. I had done much research by this stage. I knew I wanted a well bred pure breed and had fallen for the Bearded Collie breed.
I have been owning and exhibiting Bearded Collies successfully for the past 15 years.
My daughter in 2020 at 7 years of age started exhibiting dogs along side me, although unfortunately the Bearded Collie breed was too big for her to handle, and she desired a smaller dog breed to love and handle. After much research we ventured into the Tibetan Terrier breed with the help of Louise Hickey of Gengala Tibetan Terriers. Since then we have become absolutely besotted with the Tibetan Terrier breed and are passionate and focused on owning, exhibiting and preserving this exceptional breed.
