About Us

I was first introduced to Aussies in 1987, when I met my husband Matt. He had a pet Australian Shepherd (NSDR) named Frank (old “blue eyes”). I fell in love with the breed and in 1993, we added another Aussie (a “show” dog) to our life-- a cute little red merle bitch named Lucy (bred by Mitzi Cupp-Weeks, Siena Kennels). Soon we found that we could not have enough of these “new friends” around the house. We started buying more show quality Aussies and before we knew it, two became three, three became four and since then, our lives have never been the same!


	In 1999, we purchased our “dream cabin in the woods”, on 67 acres, complete with a creek running through it, an abundance of wildlife, a 3 acre pond, trees and lot of land for us and the dogs to explore. We are located approximately 65 miles south of Kansas City, near Drexel, Missouri


	In the Fall of ‘99, we built a heated/ air conditioned kennel building. for our special “fur” friends.

A few years later, we were looking for more animals to raise on our farm and decided to look into alpacas. Our interest in alpacas had a basis in our successes in raising champion dogs. We researched, we made phone calls, we surfed the net. But once we had the chance to visit a farm and actually “see” them, we were hooked. Today these gentle and whimsical animals fit so perfectly into our lives that we cannot imagine not having them.
