Hi there, my name is Trish and my husband Dan and I are the owners of Little Bit Country Aussies. I have
had dogs of all kinds throughout my life, such as Poodles, Jack Russell Terriers, Labrador Retrievers,
both rescues & purebreds, along with other herding breeds such as Border Collies, Belgian Shepherds,
and Old English Sheepdogs, although my heart has now found its home with Australian Shepherds.
For several years I participated in many dog-related activities such as Conformation, Obedience,
Herding, Flyball, Scent training, Tracking, and Dog Sledding. I have trained multiple CKC/AKC/UKC
Champions, Obedience Trial Champions, and Herding Trial Champions. For many years I dragged my
children around the dog show circuit in southern Ontario and the northern United States, from shows to
trials to dog sled races in the U.P., 2 kids and usually 5 dogs in a little Ford Ranger pickup… those are
some of my fondest memories of all time (and hopefully my kids’ too)!! However, I was younger then
and my energy level was a bit higher lol. I think I am now content working with obedience and dabbling
in herding, agility, and flyball, although my love of confirmation showing remains.
Family is a top priority for us, we camp and explore and love to get out and experience all that we can
with our dogs. And our children and grandchildren are involved in our puppies and dogs as much as we
are! There is nothing better on this earth (in my humble opinion) than the smile and giggle of a child, or
the unconditional look of love in a dog’s eyes, and when those two things are combined,
it is pure magic!
