About
Terrabella Border Collies now live 10 kms out of Dubbo on 25 acres after moving from our farm. My long suffering husband loves the dogs as I do and has shared my adventures. Most of my Border collies have been working dogs with both sheep and cattle and display wonderful herding instinct. Our dogs have settled into some wonderful homes achieving in all sorts of activities, especially being the wonderful family companion.
Terrabella Border Collies owe so much to Jocelyn Cansdell of Myrmidon Jack Russells. Jocelyn was my best friend and mentor. She taught me so much about showing and what to expect. She loved my Border Collies and supported me through the puppy to Best in Show awards. I miss Jocelyn and her support tremendously and will never forget her and her dogs. She was a true friend and partner in the dog world.
Nahrof Border Collies have provided many of my dogs. Ticket whom you will learn about in future pages is my household friend. He claims fame with both grand champion and overseas champion siblings; but his claim to fame has been his herding ablity, his devotion to us and his strength on now one back leg… my hero complete. Nahrof have not disappointed me in what they have sent a country stud and of course Strider has been my A1 friend and winning dog.
We are lucky enough have two lovely dogs from the infamous Clan- Abby stud in New Zealand to whom we are very grateful for allowing us these dogs.
Terrabella has always had a love of chocolate border collies, they are extremely intelligent loyal dogs. We would in the distance future like to produce a line of show quality chocolates..not an easy task and no quick fix..this will take us years if ever, however an adventurous project. We have a lovely chocolate girl here at present, heaps of brains and trainablity, we will train her on sheep, love her attitude and using our Black and whites over a long period hope to produce a chocolate pup to show as Europe and America are producing. One thing we do notice these are an amazingly intelligent line. Nothing like an adventure…so many colours in all collie breeds accepted world wide. Australia is slow on the uptake or narrow minded, lets put the quality into the chocolates not just the colour….they have the brains….
