SWITCHBACK

Veronica has had Border Collies as her constant companions for 47 years. It all started with Aldyson Bushmans Eve and then Aldyson Our Purdie. Our lives were irrevocably changed when Vern came into our lives. Vern, Aust. Gr. Ch., Dual Ch (T) Borderfame Ima Believer CDX ADM JDM GD SPDX SD ET, came from the renowned Borderfame Border Collie Kennels in Western Australia. The Late Helena Fitzgerald trusted us with "the one you'll love that I send you". She was of course totally correct. Bridie, Dual. Ch (T) Track and Search Grand Ch Borderfame Monkibusiness JD GD SD came next. Vern has lived on through: his daughter Gidget, Tri Ch (T) (RO) Tracking Grand Champion, Track & Search Grand Champion Maghera Lickety Split CDX ADM JDO JDM SDX SPD GDM); son Haggis, Supreme Ch Dual Ch (T) Tracking Grand Champion Khayoz Somebody Stop Me CCD GD JDX, and son from our second litter, Uncle Lionel. We finally had the courage to breed our first litter that produced Vern's Grand Daughter Shae, Dual Ch., Tracking Grand Champion Switchback Never Say Never TSD, and Richard, (Aust. Ch. Switchback Stop The Riot at Maghera). Richard won Best Australian Bred in Show at the 2024 Border Collie Nationals where Vern's son Uncle Lionel (Ch Switchback Return To Fame TD) won Minor Puppy Dog. We are proud to have versatile Border Collies that are both Show Champions and given the opportunity, excellent performance dogs. We are also proud custodians of this remarkable breed.
