a little about us...

I bought my first rottweiler in the early 1980’s, and except for my first few years in Australia, have had at least one in my life ever since. I’ve bred over 30 champions; in this number are 3 grand champions (including a father and son) and 8 different specialty challenge winners (including a national best of breed winner). In addition to my own program, I like to think I’ve made a contribution to the breed in Australia through the importation of quality rottweilers sourced from Germany, the USA and New Zealand. Three of our imported bitches went on to become V rated Australian Champions, with one becoming and American and Canadian champion also. But, I have also imported rottweilers that were titled prior to their arrival; for example the first American Champion rottweiler to come to Australia. And, to my knowledge, I am still the only breeder to register in Australia what qualifies as a ‘pink papered’ litter in Germany through the importation in whelp of V rated, Baffy von der Quellenberg Sch I AD BH Ztpr (Gmy). I have now consolidated my breeding program with good friend and partner 'in dogs' John Burridge. John has years of experience in animal husbandry, and is owner of the very successful 'Glenroy' stud, breeding and raising top quality Murray Grey cattle.

I'm also a specialist judge for Rottweilers, and have judged the breed in Malaysia, Australia, England, Wales, Finland and New Zealand. In addition to judging rottweilers, I am licensed for the remainder of the Utility Group and all Gun Dogs and Working (Herding) Dogs.

In additional to my ‘dog life’, I also have other projects that are important to me. I have a PhD from the University of Adelaide, where I currently lecture in Research Methods and International Marketing.
