WELCOME TO SAFAREE SHETLAND SHEEPDOGS

Odin
Bree
Master Breeder of the Year Award

We are a small kennel located in Woodford, Queensland, Australia, who breed for type, temperament, movement and soundness.

Our shelties are first and foremost our family, who have the run of our house. They actively participate in sheep herding, and in the past, lure coursing, whilst a couple are in the conformation ring.

For some years I have been fascinated by the bi-black sheltie (black and white), having bred Panda in 2000. This has led me to researching the bi-blacks both in Europe and Australia.

Whilst they are more common in Europe and North America they are not seen very often in the show ring either in Australia or New Zealand. This is slowly changing with three having gained their conformation titles in Australia and one in New Zealand.

We have successfully bred eight bi-blacks in 3.5 years, using stud dogs from both Lizneb in NSW and Learick in Qld.

It would appear that we have the right combination of genes to establish our kennel as the Home of the Bi-Blacks.

Please refer to our 'pedigrees' page for more information about our dogs and puppies, our 'gallery' pages for photos, and our 'show' page for show results.
