We purchased another Aussie in 1995. Nike, a blue male, was also a dear companion for our family. He passed away at age 13. That was one of the saddest days of our lives. After having these two superior dogs, I decided that I wanted to look for something "show quality" in the Aussie breed. I got a call from Nike’s breeder saying that she had a really nice red merle bitch that would be show quality. I bought her and brought her home. I named her Snickers…Hidden Lane N Brenlee’s Candy. She too has surpassed all of my hopes for her. She was my first Champion in AKC and ASCA. This was my beginning into the show life. I now have 5 aussies that are either champions or being shown. Visit them on their page!

My family and teaching are top priorities for me and since I fear showing my own dogs, I decided a long time ago that I would need help with that end of my hobby. I was very fortunate to be introduced to Maggie Pryor. Not only was she a fabulous handler, she was a dear friend as well. Without her help with Snick, Drew, True and Surge....I would have never had the success that I now know. I thank her from the bottom of my heart for giving me the opportunity to make my name and dogs known to the aussie world. She gave me my start and taught me how and why I needed to do things to keep going further. Thank you Maggie for opening many doors for me!

Brenlee Aussies is just a small hobby kennel for now, but my dream is to make it so much more. All great things don't happen overnight, so we will take it one day at a time. We will continue, as always, to strive to make the best better!
