I am a native Floridian, born in Key West, and raised in Jacksonville FL.  I married the love of my life in 1969 and was married for 44.5 years, until his death in 2014.  My first Aussie was a mix-breed and she was amazing.  After she passed, my husband took to the internet where he discovered the Miniature Australian Shepherd.  Our love of the breed continued and we decided to obtain our first breed quality girl from Integrity Aussies in Oklahoma.  

I moved back to beautiful St. Augustine, Florida seven years ago.  I am enjoying the beautiful weather and do not miss the snow and freezing weather of Pennsylvania.

My daughter in law, Monica, has been my assistant for 7 years now, and is well versed in my lines, whelping pups, and raising the litters.  Monica will eventually take over my breeding program.  Rest assured that the quality of our dogs and pups will continue as the breed becomes more well known and we continue to strive for the betterment of the breed.  I served as the Recording Secretary for the parent club of this breed in order to help the club with our move into recognition to AKC.  The rest of the story is contained in the information on this site.
