I’ve been involved in the dog world all my life. My mum started breeding Pembroke Corgis in the 1950s and in 1972 we purchased our first Shetland Sheepdog. So you could say I was born with a lead in my hand. 

I had many successes in the ring under my mothers and my prefix, taking dogs to the highest awards and titles. When I was 15 I meet Shirley Fox and that is when a fantastic journey of this magnificent breed really began. Working together as a team with breeding programs assessing pedigrees and doing our best to produce healthy puppies to a high standard. Shelmanna has produced some of Australia’s top award winning dogs not only at Breed Specialties, but the All Breeds Ring.

In 2015 I made the decision to use my lifetime of experience in the dog world and become a Dogs Australia confirmation judge. I am qualified to judge Working Dogs, Gundogs and Terriers and am currently training to judge Toys. Starting Non Sporting next year!

I began using Black Hawk when it was first introduced into the market place.I was given a bag to try when I had a dog struggling with a skin irritation which was effecting his coat quality. I noticed a difference not long after commencing the food and I began to have a happier healthier dog.

Due to these results I changed to whole team over to Black Hawk and I have been feeding it ever since. I often get comments about the health of my dogs coat from not only judges but other exhibitors. 

I am proud to be a Black Hawk Ambassador.
