About us

Willow was my first Aussie

I have owned Australian Shepherds for nearly 30 years. My first aussie was a pet that I bought from Hayley Lamb in western Australia . Willow was a bright spark in my life when i needed it. I soon fell in love with this breed who were very affectionate and easy to train. ( I have no photos of Willow, but here is a head shot of Paris who reminds me a lot of Willow)

Denim was my best mate

My second Aussie was Denim, who was rescued from a puppy farmer in Queensland. Back then she came with her pedigree papers but thankfully was too young to breed. Although i never bred from her, Denims pedigree boasted some of the nicest first imports into Australia. Denim had the most beautiful temperament and gentle personality. A beautiful heart, I lost her at 14 years of age, Denim had such an huge impact on my life that I named my kennels after her.

Paris-my first show Aussie

When Denim was getting old, along came my 3rd Aussie

”Dapsen Its A Love Story At Cloverdowns” Paris. Paris was high drive as youngster and a handful and received the nickname around the showring as “kangaroo dog” . It was funny and very apt. She has won some big challenges against lovely competition and has now retired after her maternal duties. We are involved, though in scent nose work.

Pirate my Paris son

Pirate “Denimcreek All Hands On Deck (AI)” is the pick of the litter from my foundation bitch Paris and American dog “Gr Ch Am Ch Brewedstone Designated Driver” (Uber).He has been very successful in the show ring in Melbourne beating many beautiful puppies in a large line ups. Only shown lightly Pirate has been regularly winning class in group and many reserve challenges against older, mature dogs. I am very excited about his campaign to come in 2026
