Limbunya Shetland Sheepdogs

My Story

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

                                                         

 I fell in love with Shelties when I was about 10 years old and  I was 15 when  I purchased my first sheltie named Brandy who instantly won the whole family over, as shelties do. 

   It was quite a few years before another sheltie came into my life and in 1983 purchased a puppy named Leila as a family pet  . In  1984 that I bought in a older bitch call Goldrush Frostie Brite and started being interesting in Obedience and the Sheltie world in general  , then in 1985 breeding my first litter .  From that first litter came Limbunya Kodys Law CD, the father of Ch Limbunya Mr. Moonlight CD ( Kallan) , our first home bred champion. 

   I became a member of the Gisborne and District Dog Obedience Club and was a very active member taking Kody and Kallan both to CD title , by this time I had been honoured with becoming a Life Member of that club. I also became an instructor for a few years, however by the late 80s and early 90s the show scene took my fancy and I have been conformation showing ever since.

   I have  bred 6 Home bred  Champions to date ,  the highlight being International Champion Limbunya Orion who was exported to Sweden at the age of 2 years and had a very successful show and stud career  .Along the way I have obtained fresh bloodlines with obtaining several Shelties from lines I admired who also complimented  with my own breeding plan's including Nigma , Hillswick , Charmhill and recently Hartly Kennels . 

Over the decades I have also included some UK blood lines of imported Sheltie's ( Milesend , Rannerdale and Lavika ) into my breeding programme as my aim is to breed Shelties of correct English type with that melting expression ,  overall balance, temperament and free flowing movement .

   My shelties are eye tested and hip scored on maturity and I have been  DNA testing for 16 years in keeping with modern technology and to give me the knowledge of what I,m breeding with . I live on 15 acre's  30 klms out  of Melbourne Australia .

 

 

  

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Shelties enjoy the gardens and space as I live on Acerage .
