ABOUT MACKLAND
Border
Collies, Australian Shepherds and Shetland Sheepdogs
Mackland, situated in Port Elizabeth -
along the southeast coast of South Africa, was registered with KUSA
in 2005.
We strive to find the
perfect balance between conformation, companionship & the ultimate
performance dog!
We are "hobby"
breeders and only breed occasionally, as our main focus is on dogsports: Agility, Dog Jumping, Flyball & Frisbee
ABOUT ME
I
have been training
dogs since 1996, when I got my first competitive dog, a Border Collie
named Jess.
Jess was made up to
triple champion (Contact Agility,
Dog Jumping & Carting).
My second dog, Seven
(my first
Australian Shepherd Dog), introduced conformation to
our range of disciplines.
Seven is now a 5-way champion (Contact Agility, Dog Jumping, Non-Contact
Agility, Flyball & Carting) and a Grand Champion in Flyball.
I have settled on 3 breeds that I love: The Border Collie, the
Australian Shepherd Dog and the Shetland Sheepdog.
I have practiced as an Obedience instructor from 1998, and
an Agility instructor
from 2001, including specialised
puppy Agility classes.
I now
give private instruction in Clicker Training,
and Advanced Agility, with a little Puppy Agility on the side.
My goal is to
encourage great performance dogs while at the same time I hope to promote
the good breeding and pure lines
of these wonderful breeds that I have chosen!
