Situated in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Mackland strives to find the perfect balance between conformation, companionship and the ultimate performance dog! My dogs all have succeeded in multiple disciplines - such as Agility, Dog Jumping, Obedience, Working trials, Flyball, Carting and Conformation/ Breed. After struggling with conventional methods for a few years,  alternate means of training were investigated. The positive reinforcement method took my fancy, and I began rewarding for good behaviour.  Clicker training was added to the training programme, and suddenly we had a recipe for success..! I strive to create drive in my dogs, through play and reward, and my ambition is to maintain a good ranking in Agility in South Africa at all times, and to preserve a working bond with each of my dogs.
Initially formed for my working dogs that were not bred for the breed ring, but rather for obedience, or farm work, my family grew to include dogs from top conformation lines, while still maintaining an exceptional working ability. Please feel free to contact me. I can refer you to a breeder or trainer if I am unable to help you.
