Our home for our family and our prized Australian Shepherds is nestled along
the breathtaking Skyline Drive Highway bordering the Wasatch Mountains of
Central Utah. The area changes dramatically from season to season and offers
a wide variety of activities including: fishing, hunting, camping, horseback
riding, snowskiing, sledding, and snowmobiling just to name a few. We are
free from the rat race of the city and enjoy good, hearty, healthy,
old-fashioned living.

We have a great love for the variety of seasons we see here. We have found
the area is reflective of the special and unique traits of the Australian
Shepherd. We already know what a spirited, passionate, and loyal animal the
Australian Shepherds are and so, it was quite a natural step to name our
kennel after a place that has captured our hearts. We feel there is no place
more conducive to the true spirit of the Australian Shepherd than the place
that we call home.

My mother, (Minalyn Lane) and I (Donalyn Shock), have been fond of the
Australian Shepherds for more than two decades now. Mina grew up on a 500
acre ranch in Northern California in a small town named Etna close to the
Oregon border. We bought our first registerd Aussie in 1996 from Julie Rogers of Gallery Australian Shepherds. I was the oldest of ten kids and we always had a dog.

I now have five kids of my own and they share the same love for animals that
I do. They have enjoyed Junior handling and playing with our dogs. Our dogs
are a part of the family. They sleep with the children and go just about
everywhere with us. We are raising kids first, and so we have a lot of friends coming and going. So, a dog with a good
temperament is a must. Our dogs are very social and raised with the kids. We are
in this for the enjoyment of the dogs. We only have litters once in awhile.
We OFA the hips at 2 years of age and eyes are cefr'd on our dogs yearly.

We live about two hours southeast of Salt Lake City, Utah in the small
farming community of Mt. Pleasant, Utah. The mountains are literally part of
our backyard. We enjoy horseback riding when we are not working with our
dogs. In fact, our Tennessee Walkers are our next favorite thing to working
with the dogs. Because we live so far from the city it is difficult to get
out and show as often as we would like. We are currently working on getting
into Agility and we feel that our dogs are very versatile and are a beautiful
example of the Breed. Our dogs have very versatile pedigrees with working and conformation.
