ABOUT US
Our first Aussie was imported into South Africa from the Thornapple Kennels in October 1998. Thanks to Ellen Brandenburg and Amy Garrison our beautiful boy "Dollar" was sent here at the age of 7 months. He has captured the hearts of many judges and dog fanciers alike. He will be the foundation of our breeding program with the help of Ellen's guidance along the way.
In July of 1999, Thornapple sent us a lovely bitch in whelp to start the breed off here in South Africa. USA & SA Ch Thornapple Latest Trend arrived in whelp to USA & Can Ch Northbay's Captain Morgan and produced the first South African born litter of 6 beautiful babies, of which the two bitches are the foundation and start of our breeding program and Strathaven Aussies here in South Africa.
In July 2000, we imported two more puppies from the United States to increase our gene pool and to introduce the "red" gene. Thanks to Suzanne Mayborne of Shoreland Kennels, Illinois for allowing two such beautiful puppies to leave American soil for South Africa.
Strathaven may not be a large kennel, but believe that "big" isn't necessarily better. We strive to breed Aussies that are sound in body and mind, devoting their lives to fulfilling yours. Our dogs will hopefully speak for themselves ..... quality not necessarily related to quantity.
