BONIBRAES

Breeding beautiful, healthy Bearded Collies with correct working temperaments that excel in everything they do! We are a mother/daughter team, owning beardies since 1983, and establishing our prefix Bonibraes in 1987.Since then we have dedicated ourselves to promoting and preserving our breed. We have traveled across the world seeking dogs to improve and diversify our bloodlines and as a result have imported dogs from Canada, UK, Sweden, Belgium and Finland. All our breeding stock is health screened, including hip and elbow scoring, and eye checked, including applicable DNA testing. We test for everything we possibly can to minimise the risk of hereditary diseases. Home of All Breeds Best in Show winners, Breed Specialty and Royal winners, we have over 50 show Champions and owner/breeder/trainer of some of the first herding titled beardies in Australia. We are both ANKC Herding judges. We are active members of the Bearded Collie Club of NSW, with Karin holding the position of president for many years. We strongly believe in giving back to our hobby and have contributed to our community in a variety of ways- at both shows and performance events, and as rescue officers for the NSW club. Most importantly our dogs are much loved family pets and live their lives with us after they retire. We are ways happy to talk honestly about our breed. Bonibraes Beardies- tradition, function, and soundness. We have a litter planned late in 2024/early 2025.
