About or kennel "Swirling Brook Australian Shepherds"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We live in a small town near Stuttgart, close to Nagold. I named my kennel after the small creek that was right next to our old house in Eberdingen called "Swirling Brook".
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have three dogs: two Australian Shepherd females called Zoe and Lynn and their
best friend, the Berger de Brie female Bonita. |

|
| My goal for breeding is to produce healty allrounders
with strong will and good types of the breed who are
a real pleasure to live with for an active dogowner. |
|
| For me the perfect dog is not the one that wins every
ribbon at beauty contests but the one that is together
with his owner a relieable and close team. |
|
| The main thing I want to see in the dogs I breed
is not only their good looks. It's much more important
to me to produce clever dogs that are willing to work
for their owner then have as many Showchampoins as
possible. But there can also be both - and that's
the long-term goal! |

As I already said I will only do outcrossings in my breeding
concept. They will be able to create a great diversity in
the genepool of my dogs. I believe that the genetical material
is too limited in some linebreedings. |
|
|
|
|
|
| There is also some kind of trend in breeding Aussies.
There are lots of dogs that have an extremly angled
backhand or a thick and long coat. All this can hinder
the dog in all-day situations and nobody knows about
the effects in future. |
|
| I want to keep the original working-type Aussie with
its typical character traits. The real Aussie in my
eyes is the working dog that loves to learn! |
|
| If you have any questions please give me a call,
send me an eMail
or write a little note into my guestbook. I'm really
looking forward hearing from you. |
